Speaker 3: I'm living the dream? Come on now? What a day yesterday.

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean you just heard the update on baseball. It's

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: funny to me. You almost forget that we had dramatic

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 3: extra innings baseball last night because we had so much

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: college football it was absolutely insane. It's fun doing these

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: on Sunday morning, because man, I'm still on a high

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: from Saturday and I'm ready for a great day on Sunday.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: We got a huge sleep, we got London football.

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: Let's go.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: It's this is better than brunch.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad you mentioned the London football because

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: I feel bad because you're filling in for my good

24
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: friend Bucky Brooks. And that's great because Bucky has to

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: watch this garbage in London. He has to watch the

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: Patriots and the Jackson I mean, really, I feel for him,

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: I really do. I mean, no one should have to

28
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: watch that. That's like torture. I mean it's like death.

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean really, it really is. Getting back to yesterday,

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: it was great. I talked about global warming. Let's talk

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: about global warming in these cities Tuscaloosa, Norman, Oklahoma, and

32
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: in LA. Why we're talking about Alabama, Oklahoma University and

33
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: USC You don't think those seats are getting hot. You

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: don't think it's hot in those places right now?

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: FITZI, Well, here's the thing with Alabama. At least I

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: expected it, and it's rare that I get to make

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: a victory lap. But when I am right, I like

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: to let the world know when it happens, you don't

39
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: have a little bit of fun. The fact is, I

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: don't think Alabama's a bad football team. I think Alabama's

41
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: like everybody else. Now they're an okay football team. What

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: do they do yesterday. Turnovers, accuracy issues at times, penalties

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: galore all over the place. They looked like a team

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: that's sort of up and down. They looked undisciplined, which

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: is something we're not used to seeing from a Nick

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: Saban team. This is just part of the difference. I

47
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: expect Caitlin de Boor is going to be a very

48
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: good coach in Alabama. Long term, it's going to be fine.

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: But realistically, there was gonna be some sort of a

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: step back here because there's a culture change and there's

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: an expectation change. I keep thinking about late in the game,

52
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: for anyone that didn't see it, there was a fourth

53
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: and long that became fourth and impossible, fourth and twenty

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: two late in the game because of a penalty where

55
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: a guy lost his cool emotionally for Alabama. And what

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 3: really hit me is he stood on the sideline. Sure

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 3: coaches were talking to him, but you didn't see anybody

58
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: freaking out. And I just I feel like that's the difference.

59
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: If you're talking about Nick Saban, he'd been losing his mind.

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: He'd been losing his mind with the player. The players

61
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: would have been losing everybody, but there was just a

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: different level of accountability. There was a different level of

63
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: ferocity all of the things that Saban brought. That's why

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: I think we undervalued what it's like to lose a

65
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: legend as a head coach and now got somebody in

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: there that's very good. But Alabama's taken step back and

67
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: they're gonna lose some.

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: Games like this, right And look, it's one thing to lose.

69
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: And if Saban was coaching right now, and if they lost,

70
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, people say, ho harm, it happens a bad day.

71
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: New coach comes in there, he's feeling the heat. I mean,

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: he lost to Vanderbilt. He lost yesterday. First time they

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: lose to Vanderbilt and Tennessee in the same years, just

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: like nineteen eighty four. You know, those fans don't expect that.

75
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what happens when you win, you spoil

76
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: your audience. And they're spoiled right now. They expect to win.

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: And this guy right now is probably getting death threats.

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that the boy's probably getting death threats

79
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: right now.

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: It's sick.

81
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: I know it is, and it's wrong. And I'm not

82
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: gonna sit inre on this microphone and say he should

83
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: get canned because I know what it's like to be fired.

84
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: I've been down that road. It's ugly, it's terrible. So

85
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: I would never wish anybody to be fired. However, he

86
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: right now wishes he was not in Tuscaloosa, I promise

87
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: you well.

88
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: And think about the way this all went down and

89
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 3: when he got hired. The way I read the whole

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: situation is this is great for everybody, because, let's be real,

91
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: Kaylin de bor is gonna make a ton of money,

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: but he's doing the impossible. He's replacing a legend, and

93
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: I just don't know that anybody can do that. Right,

94
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: So Alabama can always look back and say, hey, we

95
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: hired the rating coach of the year coming off a

96
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: National Championship game appearance that has won it every program

97
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: he's ever been at the highest possible level. Okay, that's

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: all very true. Is that gonna work? Now? When you're

99
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: used to saving? How can anything work? So? I look,

100
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: I don't think the Caitlin divorce going anywhere short term, right.

101
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be just fine. And again, Alabama's

102
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: gonna be just fine. It's just just fine. Isn't what

103
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: they're banking on in tuscal lousive. That still feels better

104
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: though than USC. I mean, is there right now? Like

105
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: the greatest thing the USC's got going for him is

106
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: that Florida State is distracting us about epic failures because

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 3: what USC is doing right now compared to what was

108
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: expected and the way Lincoln Riley has sold it, Like

109
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: you can make the argument that Lincoln Riley killed two franchises,

110
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: two programs when they left Oklahoma. Oklahoma's no good. USC

111
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: is no good. And now you're sitting there looking at

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley said, Okay, buddy, how do you go fix this?

113
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: Because that's not the expectation.

114
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: I don't understand. Lincoln Rowley was like a darling in Norman, Oklahoma,

115
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: and they won, and Oklahoma has always won, but that

116
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: was prior to nil. That was prior to the portal.

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: So maybe he's not getting the money needed. I mean

118
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: right now, if you're a coach in college football, it's

119
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: not only being recruiting. I mean, Rudy Cruz the life Bud,

120
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: of course, but you have to have a check book

121
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: as well as being a great recruiter. And maybe they

122
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: just don't have the back. I don't know. I don't

123
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: know what it's like, but and I don't want to

124
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: be in it. And we've seen right now what's going

125
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: on in the basketball world. When Tony Bennett leaves and

126
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the late Tony Bennet. When Tony

127
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Bennett left Virginia just the other day. You know why

128
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: he left. He doesn't want to handle this nil portal garbage.

129
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: And they got to fix it because it's ugly and

130
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: it's terrible, and I think it's ruining the college game.

131
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: You got to recruiting a kid in high school, he's

132
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: not going to ask you. Back in the day, he

133
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: would ask the coach, am I going to start? Or

134
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: are we on TV? And how many times? Okay, that's one.

135
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Today they don't ask that question. They said how much

136
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: am I getting? That's what they want to know. How

137
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: much am I getting?

138
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: But is it so? I hear you, and you're right

139
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: everything you just that is a true statement. Where we

140
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: disagree is I don't think it's ruining the game. I

141
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: think you're like, look at college football right now. I

142
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: think college football is better than ever. Just the fact

143
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: that we're sitting here saying, man, Iowa State is a

144
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: real shot at the college football playoffs. There's a number

145
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: nine team in the country. Do they feel like the

146
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: number nine team? No, But they're the number nine team

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: in the country and they're the front runner in their conference.

148
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,119
Speaker 3: Penn State is likely today going to be the number

149
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: two team. Do they feel like you're normal number two?

150
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: No?

151
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: Like this feels like a wild, unprecedented year in college

152
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: football where every single Saturday we have no idea what's

153
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: going on. And I think that's beautiful for the sport.

154
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: Like, you're right, but you can't develop continuity because half

155
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: these kids that are not playing on those teams are

156
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: gonna look to go somewhere else. That's the thing. There's

157
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: no continuity.

158
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Do you need it?

159
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: Though?

160
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: Like I mean, as a consumer, as an agent of chaos,

161
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: I don't want continuity. I want I want everything to

162
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: be absolutely just oh my god, what is happening at

163
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: every turn? And that's one thing that frankly makes the

164
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: NFL beautiful is that every year you don't know who's

165
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: gonna come for. You don't know if Houston is just

166
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: gonna come out of nowhere like they did last year

167
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: and suddenly become sustainably good for a few years. You

168
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: don't know if the commanders are suddenly gonna turn things around.

169
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: And that's part of what we love every year when

170
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 3: we talk about the NFL. I want that for college football.

171
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Like I hear that, you know, hey, money is getting

172
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: rid of great growth coaches. I do believe that. And

173
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: is that bad for the development of players? Probably, yes,

174
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna take a long time before we know, you

175
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: know how that plays into the next level of football.

176
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: But frankly, I think that college sports right, like you

177
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: if you want to win a championship in college basketball.

178
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: I grew up in Vegas. I grew up a fan

179
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: of the running Rebels. I as a kid, I went

180
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: to Larry Johnson Stacey Ogman games. I loved that. I

181
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: have a Larry Johnson jersey hanging up signed in like

182
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: UNLV basketball was life for me as a kid. And

183
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: here's the thing. UNLV basketball hasn't been good for a

184
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: long time. They're still not gonna be great this year.

185
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: But here's the other side of it. You want to

186
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: be great, all you gotta do is spend the money.

187
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: You want to be great, All you gotta do is

188
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: raise the money. If they you know you're right.

189
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: But the point is. I don't think that's the way

190
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: it's gotta be, because the rich will get richer and

191
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: the other teams will fall on the sidelines. Holdo olthough,

192
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much. I'm shocked as anybody

193
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: right now that Indiana is probably like the top being

194
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: the top twelve, they may make the playoffs Indiana football,

195
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Who knew that? They're undefeated?

196
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: Right?

197
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: And you look at schools like Vanderbilt They're gonna be

198
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: in the top twenty five this week, Navy Army, they're

199
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: both undefeated. Look, I don't think they're paying players an

200
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: Army and Navy. There's no way of doing that. But

201
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: the point is that you know, if I'm a coach,

202
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: I don't have a shot in hell if I'm coaching

203
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: at a school like Miami of Ohio, at Toledo, at

204
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan. I mean, the separation between the powers right

205
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: now are even greater than they ever were before.

206
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: Well, the coaches will tell you. And I talked to

207
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: one prominent college football coach a few weeks ago about this,

208
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: and he said, like, at this point, it's almost more

209
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: important that you're recruiting your own kids to stay that

210
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: you are out on the streets getting new kids to

211
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: come in. You're fighting the transfer portal every single day.

212
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: It's exhausting. I hear that. I understand that. I don't

213
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: think that's a bad thing, though, I mean, I mean

214
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: you mentioned some of the unprecedented teams again, I'll go

215
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: back to UNLV. Like UNLV football now, they got a

216
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: big game on Friday against Boise State. If they win that,

217
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: they're looking at it and saying, hey, do we have

218
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: a wild shot at getting towards the playoffs? Would you

219
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: and LV otherwise have a wild shot at getting towards

220
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs? No, like Boise State has a very real shot.

221
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: Army Navy you mentioned already a defeated have real shots

222
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: at the playoffs. It's just that I think this is

223
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: actually what's great. And if you're a coach that doesn't

224
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: want to deal with this, I totally hear that. I

225
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: also kind of don't care, Like, we got coaches out

226
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: here that have made how much money for how long,

227
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: like go out and earn it. If you're if you're

228
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: Lincoln Ridley with one hundred and twenty million dollar contract,

229
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: I really don't care if you think that recruiting is stressful,

230
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: or getting name, image likeness collectives to start spending money

231
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: is stressful. Like what are you making one hundred and

232
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: twenty million bucks for? Like, go out there and do

233
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: your damn job. Like, if you don't want to come

234
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: to coach in this climate, that's fine. There are a

235
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: hundred guys that will take your job.

236
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 2: But by hear what you're saying, but kids are not

237
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: going to schools any longer because of the coach of

238
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: the coach's name. They're going to the coach's wallet. That's

239
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: why they're going to those schools. I'll give you an example.

240
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: You talk about your UNLV football. They had the quarterback

241
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: that quit because he was getting screwed on his payment

242
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: under the nil. Really, he didn't go there because of

243
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: the coach or the school, or the campus or anything else.

244
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: He went there because he was supposed to get paid

245
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: and they didn't pay him, so he left.

246
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Why is that bad?

247
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: Because it shouldn't be that way. This is supposed to be.

248
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: This be intercollegiate athletics, not pay for pay. It's not

249
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: professional sports. It's a different animal. And more than that,

250
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: let's talk about the educational aspect. I know don't laugh,

251
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Please don't laugh at me. But you know, really and truly,

252
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: when we went to school, if you want to transfer

253
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: to the school, lay to school b you know, you

254
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: got to lose some credits, maybe you had to sit

255
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: out a year. They have to change this. You know,

256
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: the college presidents are sitting back and saying, well, it's okay,

257
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: I'll turn my head because we're making a lot of

258
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: money from this, But what about the educational aspect. I know,

259
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: I know it's athletics and it's sports, but it is

260
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: a college, it is a university.

261
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but nobody has ever sat back and said, you

262
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: know what, I don't think justin Timberley got a very

263
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: good education. Nobody's ever sat back and you know, did

264
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: the Backstreet Boys get their education? How? I was like,

265
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: we don't apply this to music. And you know that's

266
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: my background, as everybody knows. But I've always looked at

267
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: this and said, look like, you know, frankly, I was

268
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: offered a full violin scholarship as a kid. Believe me,

269
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: they offer them who knew that to go to Indiana.

270
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is, if I'd have gone to Indiana,

271
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: which at the time had one of the best music departments,

272
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: classical music departments in the world. They had a great

273
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: violent instructor. If I'd have gone there, I'd have learned

274
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: from one of the best in the world, with great

275
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: practice facilities that were better than anybody else's. That would

276
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: give me a better chance of getting future jobs. That

277
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: would have given me a better chance at future auditions.

278
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 3: It would have given me all of those things. And

279
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: at the same time, I could take gigs for more

280
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: money because I was going to Indiana. I could teach

281
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 3: kids for more money. Because I was going to Indiana.

282
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: I could make side hustle from the day I got

283
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: on campus. My question is why have college basketball and

284
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: football players not have the same opportunity that violinists have

285
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: had at Indiana. For a general, it doesn't matter like

286
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: to me, if the reason you go to school is

287
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: to figure out how you're going to live in society

288
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 3: and how you're going to earn money, if I could

289
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: start earning money today to go to schooling go.

290
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 2: But you're not going to school, but right, but you're

291
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: not going to school to earn money. You're going to school,

292
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: as you just said, to kind of force to your

293
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: future and earn money after you graduate, not earn money

294
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: while you're playing. I just don't think it's right. I

295
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: know that the athletes are doing a lot for schools.

296
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: What they do with they sell merchandise that get you

297
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: on TV. You know, it's the only profession in the

298
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: world where the workers don't get paid. Now they're getting paid,

299
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 2: and I think they should get paid. But then again,

300
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: it should be an illequal in an equal situation. You know,

301
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: the women are not getting with the men get Some

302
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: sports are getting more than others. I get it, football

303
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: and basketball carry the load. I get that. But you're

304
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: going to school not to get paid, at least not,

305
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: and that's in that way. I mean, guys are getting

306
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: millions of dollars.

307
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy, But the goal is to get to the

308
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: point that you can get million dollars. If you can

309
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: do that, now, why wouldn't you? Like the whole reason

310
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: I dropped out of college was because I could either

311
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 3: continue to get an education as a musician or I

312
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: could go earn money. I was getting too many gig

313
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: offers to play for money. I'm like, I could start earning. Now,

314
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: why am I gonna put myself more in debt? Like so,

315
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm man if a kid has a chance, if an

316
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 3: engineering kid has a chance today to make two million

317
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: dollars on a great invention, would we ever stop them

318
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: even though they're you're right, and.

319
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: Kids do that now they do leave go to the NBA.

320
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: If THEYD a freshman or sophomore year, they go to

321
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. Maybe if they're a junior year, they missed

322
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: it the NFL, Like, what.

323
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: About the hundreds of kids that won't play in the

324
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: NFL or the NBA, Like, and this is their chance,

325
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 3: Like Dylan Gabriel may not have a shot to play

326
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL. He probably doesn't project to me much

327
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: of an NFL quarterback at all, but he has a

328
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: shot to make millions of dollars. Now, I want that

329
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: for my kids, like I want that. I don't have kids,

330
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: but I want that for the next generation. I want

331
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: the next generation to go out and earn money. And

332
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: if they have a chance to do it. Man, if

333
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: you're so good at what you do, you can make

334
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: millions of dollars to do it, And you can make

335
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: those millions of dollars right now, man, good on you.

336
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 3: You should make your millions of dollars. You're right, You're

337
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: losing money.

338
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: But we're talking apples and oranges, because I think there

339
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: should be a set fee. In other words, if Dylan

340
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: Gabriel's gonna get a half a mill at Miami of

341
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: Florida and Notre Dame's gonna offer him like two mil,

342
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. So in other words, he's gonna

343
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: go to that school. Was this moment, I get that, okay,

344
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: But there should be some sort of a ceiling, maybe

345
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: a menu, maybe a menu of what the prices should

346
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: be for a quarterback, even in the NFL, that there's

347
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: a when the draft is there, there's kind of a

348
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: system for how much they're gonna get paid. I mean,

349
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: there's gotta be a way. It's not right where I

350
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: could outbid you for a player. I'm not saying they

351
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: shouldn't get paid, but there should be some sort of

352
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: a system where you know it's equalized. That's all all

353
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying is that you know schools will not be

354
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: able to afford these players, and other schools can, and

355
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: that's why they're gonna get richer and stronger and better.

356
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: No, the only the only thing I say to that

357
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: is I wouldn't disagree with the concept of a salary

358
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: captain college sports. The problem is that would take a union,

359
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: and that would take all players coming together and unionizing.

360
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: That's a I'm not.

361
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: Sure they're.

362
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: And that might be in the next five to ten years.

363
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: Right now, I think if you tried to implement a

364
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 3: system that limited earnings, they get challenged in court and

365
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: they would probably lose because you just can't and you know,

366
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: a capitalist world, we can't just suddenly decide that these

367
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: kids can't make that money. They get challenged every time

368
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: they lose. So I hear you on the concept of

369
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: how do you balance out? But also I still go

370
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: back to through all of this, if you are a

371
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: casino mogul in Vegas and you want UNLV to be great,

372
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it's bad for college sports that you

373
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: can do that. You just got to go out and

374
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: get the money. You know, if you want, if you

375
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: want to build a team, you can go out and

376
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: buy it. Like that's to me. There's a power that

377
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: comes with that that I think is absolutely beautiful and

378
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: it empowers every school to turn around and make a difference.

379
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: And there are certainly schools that don't have a ton

380
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 3: of nil budget, but man, that's new reality, and if

381
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: coaches don't want to be part of new reality. I mean,

382
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: we've never put a salary cap on what coaches make.

383
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: We've never restricted what you know. We've got guys out

384
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: there that are getting, you know, sixty seventy million dollar buyouts,

385
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: and we have no problem with that. So I'm not

386
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: going to listen to coaches complain when they haven't been

387
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: captain in their earning. They haven't been captained their potential forever, right,

388
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: And so now you got somebody turning around that's been

389
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: wildly overpaid compared to what they're worth, and nobody has

390
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: ever questioned it. And now those overpaid people are questioning

391
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: why we're paying the kids. Man, I have a hard

392
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: time with that.

393
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: Let me let me leave you with this. You would agree,

394
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: I hope you would agree with this, that there are

395
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: schools in certain districts, in certain areas, in certain locales

396
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: that cannot compete with these other schools simply because in

397
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: college towns like still wa To Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, those

398
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: are the key professional teams in that city, Columbus, Ohio,

399
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Ohio state, they can't compete. Perhaps maybe with the USC

400
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: where you have professional teams in that marketplace I'm talking about.

401
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: I grew up in New York City. I don't think

402
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Saint John's University, even though Rick Bettino's coaching their basketball team,

403
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm not so certain they could compete with other schools

404
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: that are in rural areas that become the only show

405
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: in town. That's all I'm saying. Because you got professional

406
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: teams to compete against.

407
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: I hear you. I just we didn't care that MTSU

408
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: couldn't compete, So I don't care if these schools can't.

409
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: Like the lack of competitive competitiveness across college sports has

410
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: always existed. It's just hitting new schools, and new schools

411
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 3: are saying, well, this isn't fair. Fairs where a pig

412
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: gets a ribbon like fair hasn't existed in college sports

413
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 3: in a long time. When it comes to competitiveness, there

414
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 3: you go.

415
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,560

Speaker 2: and as mentioned, Mike Harma comes in an hour number tie.

428
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: Now there's a new reason to watch this team. Tell

00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Now, let's get into this. Fitzy Okay,

444
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: talk about the Patriots Jags game in London because that's

445
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: where Bucky Brooks is. I feel bad for him because

446
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: this is what I call the Mike North game. All right.

447
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: Mike North is my longtime partner. I love him to death.

448
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: We work together at Fox Sports Radio. And the Mike

449
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: North situation is if the game is bad and I

450
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: would not watch it it was in my backyard, I

451
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: closed the curtains. That that's a that's a Mike North game.

452
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: You know, you close the curtains of the if the

453
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: game is in your backyard, they close the curtains. That's

454
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: Mike North. So that's what I would do with this game.

455
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: But look the Pageot's got this rookie Drake May. He

456
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: came away from his first three touchdown passes and maybe

457
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: there's something for the future there. But let me run

458
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: this by you. See if you agree, I think the

459
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 2: NFL and everybody talks about who's gonna win, and they

460
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: beg to this and this comparing completely this is what

461
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: it's all about. It really, it's easy. The NFL is

462
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: based on two things, coaching and quarterbacks, all right, And

463
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 2: I will tell you right now that Jacksonville would not

464
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: be one and five if Andy Reid was coaching Jacksonville.

465
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: I agree with that completely. Look, and Doug Peterson's seat

466
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: is so incredibly hot that it's it's insane to me

467
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: because to the point, we see this all the time.

468
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: It feels like coaches on bad teams get fired. On

469
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: the way back from London. I'm looking at this saying,

470
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: you know, May to your point that you just made

471
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: a few touchdowns, had a couple of interceptions in that

472
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: game too, but played really well behind an offensive line

473
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: that's future and made the most of that situation. And

474
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: now they take on a Jags defense. It's absolutely awful. Right, So,

475
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: if Doug Peterson loses this game, I just question whether

476
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: or not he has a job tomorrow. I was a

477
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: little surprised last week he kept his job through all

478
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: of this. I never root for anybody to get fired,

479
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: but change is inevitable in the NFL, and I think

480
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: we just sort of have to understand that. So realistically,

481
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: the craziest part about all of this is I remember

482
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: standing on the sidelines covering Trevor Lawrence's freshman year in

483
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: college when people were saying, hey, he should sue the

484
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 3: league to get allowed to come into the league. Right now,

485
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: he's so good. What's happened to that? Like, how did

486
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 3: you manage as a franchise to destroy one of the

487
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 3: most camp missed prospects we've seen in modern college football history.

488
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: Because that's exactly what the Jags have done. It's unforgivable

489
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: if you think about how bad the Urban Meyer year was,

490
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: but then it was no Doug Peterson's gonna save everything. Well,

491
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: what if Doug Peterson's kind of got a lucky year

492
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: under Carson Wentzon Really isn't that great at what he does?

493
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: Because that's kind of what it feels like right now.

494
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: It feels like the Jacks are lost. I think the

495
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: patriotshould actually pull a bit of an upset here, and

496
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: if they do, it feels like Doug Peterson is going

497
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 3: to be the next coach to lose this job.

498
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the funny thing is you took about Lawrence.

499
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, he was heralded coming into the league

500
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 2: and he's become almost a turnover machine. And here's the thing.

501
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: I think it's not his skill set that's lost. I

502
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: think he lost his confidence. I really believe that. I

503
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: think that that's a big part of what his deal is.

504
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: And he signed that big contract, well for two hundred

505
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: seventy five mil. And the owner of Jacksonville comes out

506
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: and says, and this shot con this is like a

507
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, well maybe before the season even started.

508
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: It was in print. He says, this is the best

509
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: team I have in franchise history. I mean, that's a

510
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 2: lot of pressure to put on there. So you know

511
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: he's dying every time he sees his team come out

512
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 2: in the field and lose. So I think you're right

513
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: about the coach. He's on the hot seat. But and

514
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: again I think what the Jets have done with their

515
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: head coach could be a president for us. If they

516
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 2: do lose this game, he could be bye bye. He

517
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: may not be on the plane back to the States.

518
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 3: Well, the hard part for the Jags, the reality for

519
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: the Jacks, I should say that I don't know that

520
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: they think it's hard. Is you know, you've got an

521
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 3: owner in Shatkhan that's really not that invested all the time.

522
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: You've got a team that doesn't have a ton of profile,

523
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: you don't have I know it only takes one. There's

524
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 3: only thirty two jobs, so everybody will always argue that

525
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: every job is appealing. But I think to save a team,

526
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: more often than not, you either need a brilliant coaching

527
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: higher because I think coaching really matters in the NFL,

528
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 3: we don't spend enough time on that, or you need

529
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: somebody that's so committed to the franchise that it just

530
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: hits different. Right. So it wasn't that long ago that

531
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: we were sitting here saying the Texans are an abject

532
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: disaster and nobody would ever want that job and it's

533
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: never going to get fixed. Well, Jamika Ryans comes in,

534
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: has history with the organization, was a hot candidate, but

535
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 3: he also loved the Houston Texans, so it made a difference.

536
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: So for every Texans fan that sits back and says, well,

537
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: we need to turn around and hire Ben Johnson, the

538
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator Lions, who's ever year going to be the

539
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: hot candidate? My question is why would Ben Johnson take

540
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 3: that gig? I know there's only thirty two, but if

541
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: your Ben you're gonna have options. So if you're going

542
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: to go somewhere, coach, do you really want to go

543
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: to a franchise that doesn't really seem to have a

544
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: home base, that's part London, part Jacksonville, that's not really

545
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: that nationally relevant, that doesn't have a star loaded roster

546
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: you can immediately win within Even if you do, you're

547
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: not going to be a rock star coach. Like there

548
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: are a lot of things that stack up against Jacksonville.

549
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: They'll find a coach, they'll find somebody to come in.

550
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: But if the goal is you know, we're going to

551
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: go in and hire a superstar to come in and

552
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: fix the Jags, I just don't think the Jags are

553
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: a superstar destination for a coach.

554
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: You make a great point, because the rumors are out

555
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: there at Bill Belichick maybe a candidate, he's not going there.

556
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he'd be out of his mind to go there.

557
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking right now, I think he's enjoying the media deal.

558
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 2: He might not even go back to coaching at all.

559
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, but I haven't asked him.

560
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: I do text him every now and again. We like

561
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: pen pals over the years, but I don't see him

562
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: going back to that.

563
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: Basically, that's a heck of a pen pal I have

564
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: right there.

565
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's great. I mean, I tell you several

566
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: years ago, we had him on as a guest on Fox.

567
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: I mean I asked to come on and came on.

568
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable, really, And then when I was looking

569
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: for jobs, I mean back in the day, I said,

570
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: could I use you as a reference? Because no one's

571
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: gonna believe that Bill Belichick's my reference, right He says yeah,

572
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 2: he says, do me a favorite to put it on there.

573
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: But if they want, tell him to write to you,

574
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: and I'm not running them back up calling them back,

575
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: just say yeah, he's a reference. So you know, he's

576
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: a good man. I do like coach and he's been

577
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: good to me over the years. So we'll see what happens.

578
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: But moving on, I don't think he's coming back that quickly.

579
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 2: He got this Bills game. They're playing the Titans, and

580
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: right now, Mike, look, i'd like to kiss of death

581
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: because I always thought Mason Rudolph was going to be

582
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 2: a good quarterback in the NFL, and Oli Gordon I

583
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: thought back in August, I thought he'd be a Heisman candidate.

584
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 2: So if you've got to Oklahoma State, don't mention, you know,

585
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: make sure I don't mention your name, because I am

586
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: the kiss of death. Oli Gordon has disappeared from the

587
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: face of the earth. And Mason Rudolph right now, who

588
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: was starting today for the Titans, I hope he does well.

589
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: I thought he was a good quarterback. That's how much

590
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: I know. That's why I sit behind the microphone and

591
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing a uniform. I tell you that's it.

592
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: The hard part for the Titans is that their record

593
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: will vastly different if Will Levis actually understand understood how

594
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: to take care of the football. I am the leader

595
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 3: of the street team of Will Levis is not a

596
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: capable NFL starting quarterback. I have been for a long time.

597
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: And for people that come in and say IM being

598
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: too tough, I would just say go back and watch

599
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 3: the Kentucky footage. Like I've been lucky enough to cover

600
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: the draft now for what seven years of my career,

601
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: six years at ESPN and last year for Yahoo Sports.

602
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: And the funny thing about if you go back and

603
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: watch a lot of these kids, you can see sort

604
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 3: of the tendency from college go to the NFL, and

605
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 3: Will Levis had a tendency at Kentucky to throw up

606
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: just absolute fifty to fifty balls for no reason at

607
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: the worst time, and you scratch your head and say,

608
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: what exactly did he see? Like, why did he make

609
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: that decision? And it's the why that I love to

610
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: try and figure.

611
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: Out about Mason. Tell me about Mason Rual because I

612
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: have always liked him.

613
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: No, I think Mason is the good knock great category.

614
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: You know, he's fine, and Mason is gonna, I think

615
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 3: have some success with the Titans, by the way, because

616
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: the Titans have been in these football games. So the

617
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: problem for Will that everybody comes in and says, well,

618
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: this is just a moment. You can coach it out

619
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 3: of him. No, I think you are. You are at

620
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: that point. So is Mason this sort of guy that

621
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: can absolutely, you know, take over a team and will

622
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: them to victory as we say, No, is Mason the

623
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: sort of guy that can hold down the fort for

624
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: the rest of the season for the Titans? Yeah, now,

625
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: Will Levis is hurt, That's part of why Mason's coming in.

626
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: But I honestly, I think you're right that Mason's a

627
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: good quarterback with weapons around him, He's going to be

628
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: able to utilize those weapons. He's not going to have

629
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: the same stupid turnovers that Will Levis has had. I

630
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 3: think the Titans will look better. They'll lose this game,

631
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: but I think they'll look drastically better.

632
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: I always gonna say we'll wasting our time with this

633
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: game because he's gonna lose anyway. I mean, if you

634
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: will quarter it back in or I was courted, it

635
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 2: doesn't make They could play twelve and eleven and lose

636
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: this game. Really, they're losing this game in no way.

637
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: All right, he's fifty, He's Jason Fitz I'm Andy Firman.

Speaker 6: five to two and ten innings, your hero Juan Soto.

647
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 5: This is how it sounded when Soto.

648
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 6: Stepped to the plate in the tenth inning in a

649
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 6: two to two ball game on the Yankees Radio network.

650
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,479

655
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,080

656
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,720

Speaker 6: to the injury report because of an illness. Titans will

669
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 6: start Mason Rudolph at quarterback against the Bills. As Will

670
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 6: Levis nurses that shoulder injury. The NFL network is reporting

671
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 6: lines defensive end Aiden Hutchinson has a chance to return

673
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 6: While in college football on Saturday, number one goes down.

674
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 6: Texas falls to Georgia fifth Rake Bulldogs get the win

675
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 6: in Austin thirty to fifteen. Now, the SEC did release

676
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 6: a statement following the game after a pass interference call

677
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 6: was reversed and then prior to the reversal, Texas fans

678
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 6: threw water bottles on the field. The statement from the

679
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 6: SEC said quote, the game officials gathered to discuss the play,

680
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: which was permitted to ensure the proper penalty is enforced,

681
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 6: at which time the calling official reported that he aired

682
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 6: in a fall, a foul should not have been called

683
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 6: for defensive pass interference. Consequently, Texas was awarded the ball

684
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 6: at the Texas nine yard line. That was about the

685
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 6: overturning of the penalty, as for all of the things

686
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: that were thrown on the field, the SEC said, quote,

687
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 6: the disruption of the game due to debris being thrown

688
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 6: onto the field will be reviewed by the Conference Office

689
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 6: related to SEC sportsmanship policies and procedures.

690
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: Welcome to the SEC.

691
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 6: Texas number eleven at Tennessee top number seven, Alabama in

692
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: SEC action twenty four to seventeen.

693
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 5: Couple of other notables. Indiana seven to zero.

694
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: For the first time since nineteen sixty seven, following their

695
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 6: route of Nebraska fifty six to seven. Well, Colorado took

696
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 6: care of Arizona in Tucson thirty four to seven. Buffs

697
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 6: are five and two on the year.

698
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, Danny, thank you so much.

699
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: All right, he's Jason fitz That's Fitzy. I'm Andy Furman.

700
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: We are Fox Football, Sonnia Fox. What's ready on one?

701
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: Quarterback is just perfect? He really is what I tell

702
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: you who he is. In just about a minute, we

703
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: got to ask FITZI In about five six minutes from now,

704
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: We've got this Eagles Giants game. And I'll tell you

705
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: if it's the thing that I look about this game.

706
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: The whole key of this game is really Sequon Barkley

707
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: coming back playing for the Eagles against the Giants. But

708
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: I will say this about the Eagles. The Eagles problem

709
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: right now, they could talk about the running game, their injuries,

710
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: the lack of passing, and whatever it may be. I

711
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: think the major problem here is their coach. You talk

712
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: about distractions in sports, who's a bigger distraction on that

713
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: team than Nick Siriani, the coach fighting with the fans.

714
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: I think he's the distraction of this team.

715
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: I really do. Yeah. And you know it's funny because

716
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: coaches tell players all the time that don't be the

717
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: reason that other players, I should say, are answering questions

718
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: in the locker room, don't create questions for everybody else.

719
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Sirianni just did.

720
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: You know.

721
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: He creates sort of a conversation in the locker room

722
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 3: that people are gonna be asking questions about. And it

723
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: just doesn't make any sense. I hate lame duck coaching situations.

724
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: I hate We're gonna give this another year and see

725
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 3: how it works. It's just so rarely actually works out

726
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: sustainably for long periods of time. It doesn't make a

727
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: lot of sense to me if you are that close

728
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: to making the changes. Philadelphia was reportedly last year to

729
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: make the change. And I just genuinely believe if you

730
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: look at the modern NFL and success it's like an

731
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: eighties wrestling tag team. You gotta have two guys. You

732
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: gotta have two guys. Your coach and your quarterback have

733
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: to be on the same page. And if you have

734
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: a coaching quarterback that have the same identity, same understanding,

735
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: same system, same processing, same everything, you have something. And

736
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: that's part of the equation of the Chiefs. We always

737
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: talk about Mahomes. It's not just Mahomes, it's Mahomes and

738
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: Red with spags in the corner as the manager of

739
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: the tag team saying, hey, we got all this right

740
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: like it takes that sort of that sort of work.

741
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: Sirianni and Hurts are clearly not on the same page.

742
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: They're clearly not bringing out the best of each other anymore,

743
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia feels broken, so in an effort to not

744
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: make change, I think they've honestly wasted this year.

745
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: I agree, but I still think they'll beat the Giants.

746
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: Johnson have too many injuries, too many players are up.

747
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: I did say something about this quarterback is perfect coming

748
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 2: into this segment, and I'm talking about the Bengals Browns game.

749
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Deshaun Watson. He is perfect. He's twenty

750
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: four for twenty four and winning in lawsuits. That's what

751
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: he is right now. So he's perfect, right and he

752
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: does lead the league in sacks. He's been sacked like

753
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: thirty one times. Their offensive line is terrible. But you

754
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: know what, I got a funny feeling that the Browns

755
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: are gonna win today because I'm hearing now to what

756
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm hearing stories that out of Cleveland that this is

757
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: his last shot. If in fact, he doesn't do anything today,

758
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna bench him and they'll start Jamis Winston. So

759
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: I think that they got you know, running game, maybe

760
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: Chubbs coming back today. I think the Browns win today.

761
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: I really do.

762
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: The interesting thing is that I don't think there's a

763
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: and for the whye how of it is their own fault.

764
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't think that there is a team more Upper

765
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: Creek in the next several years in any sport than

766
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: there is for the Cleveland Browns because of the Deshaun

767
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: Watson situation, and like, for a second here just talking

768
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 3: about the football side of it. Browns fans, I'm sorry,

769
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: you're just you're done. It's over, and there's no good

770
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 3: like there's no nice way to say you are You're

771
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: screwed like you just are. And if you start thinking

772
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 3: about what is happening for the Browns from a salary situation,

773
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: and everybody says, hey, bench to Shawn. I've been screaming,

774
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 3: bench to Shawn. I've talked to you know, some of

775
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: our insiders the Yahoo Sports and one thing that has

776
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: been coome abundantly clear is that ownership doesn't want to

777
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: bench to Sean. And if ownership doesn't want to bench

778
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: to Shan, what do you do? But even more importantly,

779
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 3: it is a very real number. You have to look

780
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 3: at it and say, hey, if they end up cutting

781
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson, right if they cut next year, and for

782
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: anyone that doesn't know, you can designate part of the

783
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: money to be post June first. So always, if you

784
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: need to save money on the salary cap the way

785
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: you spread it out over two years is you cut

786
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: somebody and you designate it post to June first. That's

787
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: the cheapest way to do it. If they cut Deshaun

788
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: Watson next year post June first, it's a one hundred

789
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: and nineteen million dollar cap pit that's real. Over the

790
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: CAAP dot Com has it right now. If they cut

791
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: him post June first in twenty twenty six, So two

792
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: seasons from now, it's a ninety nine point eight million

793
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: dollar cap pit. They have to go three full years,

794
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: like two more full seasons the rest of this season

795
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: and two more full seasons before they get to the

796
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: level of caphit that the Broncos just took for Russell Wilson.

797
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: So the problem here is even if you bench him,

798
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: then what you're not cutting him? You can't cut him.

799
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: And what if God forbid, if you're the Browns, what

800
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: if he just says, fine, you cut me, I retire.

801
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 3: If he retires, they get escalated. Right now, the entire hit,

802
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 3: you'd be talking about a catastrophic They'd have to cut everybody.

803
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 3: They would have the financials to make it happen. I'm

804
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: not even talking about real money. I'm talking about the

805
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: money that they'd have to take against the salary cap

806
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: Browns fans, there is no solution. If the solution is

807
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: benching Deshaun Watson, you're gonna have to have your owner

808
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 3: agree to it, and your team is going to be

809
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: absolutely just Deshaun Watson has over a barrel. He could

810
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: absolutely ruin the Browns for the next ten years if

811
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: he decides he's just gonna walk away.

812
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: From football, right, And this guy's more of a liability

813
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: made even off the field than on the field, so

814
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody will even want him. So it's

815
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: it's bad, it really is. But we move on, all right.

816
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: He's Jason fitz I'm Andy Fermer. We are a Fox

Speaker 2: eleven minutes now, before the top of the hour. He

826
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: Ask FITZI. Here it is now. These guys get paid

827
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: a lot of money, which is fine. This is what

828
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy said, but he also

829
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: said there needs to be a side to what they

830
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: do and that they should have to be able to do,

831
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, face the music and

832
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 2: own up to things. Should college football players be fine

833
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: by coaches? What do you think about that?

834
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if we're gonna treat it like a

835
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: profession at this point, which is essentially what it is,

836
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 3: then everything's on the table. It's an interesting because we

837
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 3: you know, we started the show. Go back and listen

838
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: to the podcast at some point. Guys, we started the

839
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 3: show talking about players getting paid. I think one of

840
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 3: the things we have to understand too, is that there's

841
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: a difference now in how coaches process it. And I've

842
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: talked to a couple of coaches that'll tell you it

843
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: used to be a player could come in and say, hey, coach,

844
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm dealing with a lot. I'm gonna mention I'm mentally

845
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 3: strapped right now, like I'm having a hard time, and

846
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: coaches that say, hey, you know, let's work through and

847
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: let's now. You've got a lot of coaches out there

848
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: that are sitting there saying, Okay, well you're getting paid

849
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 3: a lot of money, so suck it up. Figure it out, Like.

850
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh, what happens if a player gets caught with a dui?

851
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: Right again? Now? Yeah, Now, everything you're doing is you're

852
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: essentially a financial You're representative of the school, you know,

853
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: So it becomes a much different situation. There's a difference

854
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 3: between saying, remember you always represent the logo on your chest,

855
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: which is conversation a versus conversation, which is, you know,

856
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 3: now you're a paid employee by you know, this collective

857
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: and eventually gonna end up I think being a paid

858
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: employee by the school. So yeah, I do think players

859
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 3: are gonna have to get used to this. This is

860
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: coming like, there's got to be financial recourse at some point.

861
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, Jerry Jones, order of the

862
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, is in the Football Hall of Fame. I

863
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 2: want to know why? What has he done to accomplish

864
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: that money?

865
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: The growth of the game so many people attribute to

866
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 3: you know, Jerry's vision for people that don't know even

867
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 3: you know, Jerry has a stake in a concession stadium

868
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: concessions company that handles a lot of the concessions across

869
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: the league. Like he's making money in every stadium every Sunday.

870
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: So I think growth of the game and the money

871
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 3: in the game is part of the reason why everybody

872
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: loves it. Like is he he shouldn't be in for

873
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: his work as a GM, but I think for growth

874
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: of the game, that's why it all comes down to money.

875
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 3: But also Jerry, I'd say this loudly. I think it's

876
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 3: not only disgusting the way he treated the guys on

877
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: one oh five to three, that he basically threatened their

878
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: job for asking quessians, but also it's it's really just small.

879
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: It's small that Jerry hasn't go. It's petty, you.

880
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: Know, And why is he even doing that. He's not

881
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: the only owner I believe that does that stay in

882
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: the background. I mean, I mean, I understand after every

883
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 2: game he's into the locker room after every single game.

884
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: Why and look, let y'all, I've worked for flagships before.

885
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: I worked for the flagship for the Nashville Predators was

886
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 3: my first radio job, and I can tell you that

887
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: not every flagship has a great easy situation. And there

888
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: are certainly times that when you say something on air

889
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 3: they don't like. It is common for somebody to come

890
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 3: in and yell at your bosses for it. It's common

891
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: to get yelled at for it. I understand some of

892
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 3: those things. That's part of the dynamic, but it should

893
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 3: never be done the way that Jerry did it. It shouldn't

894
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 3: be done in the first place, but to do it

895
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 3: the way Jerry did it inexcuseable.

896
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: I got a funny story on that for you. I

897
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: worked for the flagship for many years seven hundred WLW

898
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: radio in Cincinnati for the Cincinnati Bengals, and I got

899
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: on Sam Weiss May he rest in peace pretty good.

900
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 2: At the end, we kind of patched it up, and

901
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: we had a traffic reporter and a helicopter that would

902
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: go over every day in the morning the afternoon to

903
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 2: get the traffic reports. I went on the air one

904
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: day and said, you know what, We're gonna get mister

905
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: John Phillips, who was the traffic cop, the guy, and

906
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna get him to tape some of the practices.

907
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna send him to the opposing team because I

908
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: was on the outs with Sam. He went nuts. He

909
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: came up to the station the next day, went to

910
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: the general manager's office and went crazy. So, I mean,

911
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: I get it. I know what's going on with that stuff.

912
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: So we move on, all right, So do we have

913
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: time for one more? We have time for one more?

914
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 3: All right?

915
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Today, who's the Coach of the Year and MVP

Speaker 3: VP after today is, after this weekend, is gonna be

919
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: Jared Goff. I think the Lions and the way they're

920
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 3: playing right now is gonna get more and more love

921
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 3: and the way golf. If he's able to withstand the

922
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 3: defensive coach of the year right now, you know what,

923
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: I believe absolutely, he's gonna if he can keep Minnesota,

924
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 3: if he can beat Minnesota, I should say, then yeah,

925
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 3: he's the MVP.

926
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you right there. All right, I was

927
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: gonna go with the Deshaun Watson situation, but I think

928
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,400

929
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,800

949
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 3: You know, there's something about waking up with a little

950
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: bit of Fox Sports Radio that feels good in the

951
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: It just feels good in the soul.

952
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 2: Good having you here, it really is. I really enjoy

953
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: working with you know. I gotta run this by you.

954
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: I sometimes go off the deep end, Okay, That's just

955
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: the way I am, and sometimes I need someone to

956
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 2: kind of give me a kick in the rear rent

957
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: to get me back on track. And that's why you're here,

958
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: all right, because I want to run something by you.

959
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: I you tell me if I'm really a fool or

960
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: maybe I'm onto something over here, because I'm looking at

961
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 2: this situation in sports. This pass Friday, for example, there's

962
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: high school football, and I'm disgusted to the fact that

963
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: college has kind of ruined the high school dealer. They're

964
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: moving into college. College moving into the high school on

965
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 2: Friday night that was always reserved for high school. But

966
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 2: you got college football Friday. High school football Friday. The

967
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State was playing University of Cincinnatian college basketball on Friday.

968
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: You have NHL hockey, you have the NBA preseason, Major

969
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: League Baseball playoffs, and of course the NFL is in

970
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: full swing. If you're if you're a wait and wait

971
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: the WNBA forgot about that. WNBA is playing the finals, right,

972
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: So if you're a college you're a sports fan, where

973
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 2: do you turn? I believe, and maybe this is way

974
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 2: off the beaten track. I believe there should be some

975
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: legislation that should not be any overlapping seasons in sports.

976
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 2: I think it's crazy. I really do. Back in the day,

977
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: there was always you had baseball here, you had football here.

978
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't like the World Series ending

979
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: in November. I think it's crazy and I don't like

980
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: baseball starting in March. I think it's nuts, but I

981
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: get it. It's about the money. It's about the green cabbage.

982
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: That's all. That's what it is.

983
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 3: I mean.

984
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: But am I on to something here or to forget

985
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: about it? You're smoking something?

986
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 3: Give it all to me. I want all of it

987
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 3: at once. I want mass chaos. I want dogs and

988
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: cats living together. I want all of the hysteria. There's

989
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: so I hear you that you know it gets, it

990
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: gets kind of wild. But at the same time, I

991
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: thought there was beauty the other night in just sitting

992
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: there and watching a whole group of my friends try

993
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: and figure out whether we were going to watch the

994
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: w NBA Finals on. Everybody wanted to watch and see

995
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: the end of that game, which was dramatic. That final

996
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: has been absolutely great so far, at the same time

997
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 3: that we're sitting here balancing how to watch playoff baseball

998
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: in games that have just been dramatic all the way

999
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 3: down to the final pitch, Like, I feel like part

1000
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: of why I'm in love with it right now is

1001
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: because we've gotten whether and it is We've got a

1002
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 3: close WNBA final, We've got close baseball games over and

1003
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 3: over and over again. We've got mass like just chaos

1004
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 3: in college football where we have no idea. Who's gonna

1005
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: do what Friday night got. Like you, you say you

1006
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: don't like college football on Friday nights. I'm torn on

1007
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: it because all the years I spent living in Nashville, well.

1008
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: I'll say I love college football, and honestly, I always

1009
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 2: thought that was reserved for high school football. And look,

1010
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 2: you know, I don't follow high school football. I'm just

1011
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: saying that I don't think it's fair for the high

1012
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 2: school kids have to share that night now with college football.

1013
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: I thought there was a I thought there was legislation

1014
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: back in the day that Fridays were high schol football days.

1015
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: The NFL could not. NFL could not play on Friday

1016
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: college but the NFL cannot.

1017
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 3: The funny thing to me is that, you know, all

1018
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: the years living in the South, college high school football

1019
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: is life, right like you, when you got a Friday

1020
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: night off, you are at some random you know, Hendersonville

1021
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 3: High School watching a high school football game. I moved

1022
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 3: to Connecticut, you know, at the time for ESPN and

1023
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 3: now living up here. The funny thing to me is

1024
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: if I try and hunt a Friday night football game

1025
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 3: that really matters. They don't exist up here.

1026
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: Like well, I lived at Brooklyn, New York. They didn't

1027
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 2: have any lights. They didn't play on Friday nights. They

1028
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: played a Saturday morning at ten o'clock in the morning.

1029
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 3: So, you know, for me, having Friday like Friday for

1030
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: work for me is done at a normal hour. I

1031
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: get up early for the fellas on Saturday. I like

1032
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 3: having a little bit of Friday night entertainment. You know.

1033
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 3: College football provides that I'm all in on these like

1034
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 3: interesting Fox games Friday nights because it gives me something

1035
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: to watch. I just you know, it's like you got

1036
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: one group of TV audience and like it's funny. In

1037
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: my twenties, I think, oh my watch, I'm not sitting

1038
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 3: home watching football on a Friday. I'm i go out. Now.

1039
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: In my forties, I'm like, no, I'm just gonna sit

1040
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 3: at home.

1041
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 2: And it was a great game on Friday night. Yeah,

1042
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 2: that was a wildfome game.

1043
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: You know, you get over the course of the season,

1044
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 3: we've had some Friday night drama. That's interesting. So but

1045
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: the thing of it is we are now in a

1046
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: injected in my vein society. I saw a panel recently

1047
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: where a movie director and producer. We're talking about the

1048
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: fact that they turned the movie into Netflix and it

1049
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: was sent back to them for a re edit, and

1050
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 3: the reason it was sent back to them was because

1051
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 3: the movie was considered too smart, and the comment was,

1052
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 3: people can't second screen this movie, and Netflix understands that. Now,

1053
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 3: when you're watching something that's a Netflix original, you have

1054
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 3: to edit in a way where somebody can be on

1055
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: the phone while they're watching it. So that's sort of

1056
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 3: the world we're in now where nobody does one thing

1057
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 3: at a time. So if I can have great sporting

1058
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 3: events in the background for all of it, Like I

1059
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 3: love hockey, Hockey is a big part of my background.

1060
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm not really paying attention to hockey yet. I don't

1061
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 3: really care about hockey yet, but boy, it makes better

1062
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 3: background noise than bar rescue does. So yeah, get it

1063
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 3: to me.

1064
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: Ejected say, look, look, I understand people multitask, but but

1065
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: there's something about choices. And even mentioned you had a

1066
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: discussion with your buddies on a frontay night, like what

1067
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: are we going to watch? I mean, I have that

1068
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: situation on a Saturday when I'm just flipping from one

1069
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 2: football game to another with the college football games. Lucky

1070
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: for me, at the last several weeks, most of these

1071
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: games have been blowouts. I haven't been really that many

1072
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: good games. I think the best game yesterday was Miami

1073
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: of Florida and Louisville because it was tied to thirty

1074
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 2: eight going down the stretch. Other than that, they were

1075
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of like one sided games.

1076
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: That Tennessee Alabama game was. It was sensual at the

1077
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: end of like, it wasn't a good football game. I

1078
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 3: think the most penalties in the game in the SEC

1079
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: since twenty nineteen, if memory serves me correct, but just

1080
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: an inordinate amount of penalties the sloppy football game. You're right,

1081
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 3: the Miami game felt much more like video football game.

1082
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: But man, I'm enough of a sucker that at this point,

1083
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 3: you know, I've got two TVs on the coffee table

1084
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 3: and one on the wall, And on Saturdays there's I

1085
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 3: quad boxed the one on the wall, and then you

1086
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 3: got the two on the coffee table each have one game.

1087
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 3: I got six games going at once.

1088
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: Usually I turned that South Carolina Oklahoma game. I wanted

1089
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: to see what's going on with Oklahoma because I lived

1090
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma for a while. I don't ever remember that

1091
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 2: team losing three games. They've lost three already, losing three

1092
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 2: games in a season. I mean, so you talk about

1093
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: seats that are hot, this one in Norman, Oklahoma right now.

1094
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it shouldn't be that way. There are certain schools.

1095
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: Look Maryland yesterday wins. I mean, Maryland beating was a USC.

1096
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: It shouldn't happen. Maryland's not a football school. That's why

1097
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: these programs are, and these coaches are on hot seats.

1098
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: And I think something like USC was up like twenty

1099
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,280
Speaker 2: one to seven at one point in time in that game.

1100
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 2: Maryland should not have won that ball game, but they did.

1101
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. Maybe they're paying their players more

1102
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: than us he's paying. Maybe that's the bottom line. I

1103
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: don't know.

1104
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 3: I mean, but Maryland is not a particularly good football

1105
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 3: team this year either, So yeah, their quarterback going off

1106
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 3: on USC was pretty inexcusable. Right If Maryland is out

1107
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 3: spending USC, and I hear USC fans talk a lot about, well,

1108
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 3: we just don't have to collect it all, right, go

1109
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: find it, Like there are enough former players that played there,

1110
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 3: there's enough, there's enough stars involved with USC, there's enough.

1111
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: You really want to go find it. I agree with

1112
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 3: you in Oklahoma though, I mean Oklahoma. This is where

1113
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: the NFL logic will now hit college football, and it's inevitable.

1114
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 3: Oklahoma made the decision that they were comfortable moving on

1115
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 3: from Dylan Gabriel because they liked the quarterbacks that they

1116
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 3: had in the room. They didn't really try and compete

1117
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: to keep Dylan Gabriel. Now, Dylan Gabriel is having a

1118
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 3: good year. Now, I wouldn't say it's great yet. He's

1119
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: had some questionable moments, but Dylan is going to put

1120
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 3: himself into the Heisman conversation for Oregon and has a

1121
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 3: real shot at a national championship. And Oklahoma's figuring out

1122
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 3: that when you don't have a quarterback, you can't win,

1123
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 3: especially in the SEC.

1124
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: So I can't believe I'm going to say this. Oklahoma

1125
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 2: right now is the worst team in the SEC. I mean,

1126
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 2: who ever thought that? And again, you know, good for you,

1127
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 2: Oklahoma because you made that move. Not so much because

1128
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: it's great for the school. It's great for the pocketbook.

1129
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 2: You're going to make more money being in the SEC.

1130
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: That's why you left. And you're not going to play

1131
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State anymore. And that was a great game. That

1132
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: was always a big end of season game. Oklahoma Oklahoma State.

1133
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 2: So they lost lost yesterday and they lost three games,

1134
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: but they are the worst team in the SEC right now, Perry.

1135
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 3: The funny thing is the schedule for Oklahoma. And I've

1136
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: been sort of screaming this since September. I don't think

1137
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: we can judge Oklahoma and Texas by the same conversation

1138
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 3: about their their introduction to the SEC, because the schedule

1139
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: for Oklahoma far much more difficult than the schedule for Texas.

1140
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 3: Texas has some tough game on it, but Oklahoma has

1141
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: a juggered out. So this is going to be a

1142
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: tough tough year for Oklahoma in the standings, and then

1143
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to make a decision of what to do.

1144
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 3: And that's that's a tough one because Brent Vnables was

1145
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 3: a very respected defensive coordinator that the expectation was that

1146
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 3: he'd be able to turn around and really, you know,

1147
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 3: build something. I don't think Oklahoma is worse than Mississippi

1148
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 3: State at this point to your point, but Oklahoma, the

1149
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: wheels have fallen off for sure, and that's that's and

1150
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 3: what do you do now, do you start a revolving

1151
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 3: door or do you believe that venables can turn it around?

1152
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 3: So you know it's it's I think a little patience

1153
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 3: goes a long way when you start talking about the

1154
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 3: introduction to the SEC. But Oklahoma football is not the

1155
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 3: type of brand that usually needs to be patient.

1156
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: You're exactly right, okay. One guy who needs to be

1157
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: patient is the coaching staff of the Miami Dolphins. They

1158
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 2: waiting for their quarterback Toua to come back. The Dolphins

1159
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: are playing in Indianapolis today. Dolphins are two and three. They

1160
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: just got to buy their time. They say, they say

1161
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: that Tula will be back. They don't know when, but

1162
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 2: they say he will be back before the end of

1163
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: the season. They're playing the Colts. The Colts right now,

1164
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is going to be back. Anthony Richardson's gonna

1165
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: be back at quarterback. I don't think that's such a

1166
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 2: great move because I think the Colts have a better

1167
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 2: chance of winning with Joe Flacco a quarterback. That's my take.

1168
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: Now. I talked to Anthony Richardson for Yahoo this week,

1169
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 3: and I asked him pretty point blank about how he

1170
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 3: feels and about changes in his game, and it's interesting.

1171
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: He's really insistent that nobody is telling him to change

1172
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 3: the way he plays the position to run less. But

1173
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 3: I do think we have to also acquiesce it. This

1174
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 3: year he's run the ball less, and so you know,

1175
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. The hard part is that the Colts want

1176
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 3: to win games right now. I get that the Colts

1177
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: were so far ahead of schedule after last year. I'll

1178
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 3: just go back to the conversations we were having when

1179
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 3: he was drafted, which was, Anthony needs reps, right he

1180
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 3: needs to get on the field, he needs to play,

1181
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 3: and he's got moments that Dan or Lovski always said

1182
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 3: he had moments that you simply can't coach that level

1183
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: of greatness. But he also has moments where you have

1184
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 3: no idea what the hell he was even thinking with

1185
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: the baal he threw, or he's wildly inaccurate. So you

1186
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 3: got to get that he needs reps. So the hard

1187
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 3: part is maybe Flacco does give him a better chance

1188
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 3: to win, but at some point they're going to have

1189
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 3: to make the decision to develop the young quarterback they

1190
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 3: spent a first round draft pick on. So I hear

1191
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 3: you that, you know it might give you a better

1192
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 3: chance to win this week, I don't disagree with you,

1193
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 3: but also long term, you got to get Anthony Richardson

1194
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 3: playing these games, and frankly, I think they got to

1195
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 3: get him back this year using his legs more so

1196
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 3: that he can be the full version of himself on

1197
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 3: the field. If you're trying to limit what he does,

1198
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 3: you're not going to make him a better player. In

1199
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: trying to make him a better quarterback. You've got to

1200
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 3: find a way to sort of build around what he does.

1201
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 3: So I think there's still work for the Colts and

1202
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson to do together to get the best out

1203
00:51:59,760 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 3: of it.

1204
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 2: You mentioned the term reps, and I tell you what,

1205
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 2: I think there's a big correlation between how many games

1206
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 2: you play in college before you go to the NFL.

1207
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 2: And Anthony Richardson did not play many games. And I'm

1208
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 2: going back now to the New England Patriots where Drake

1209
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: May came in last week his first start in the

1210
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: National Football League, and he threw three touchdown passes. Why

1211
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: he played a lot of games in North Carolina, Yeah,

1212
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: a lot of games under his belt. I think there's

1213
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: definitely a correlation between the amount of games you play

1214
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: in college before you get to the NFL.

1215
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is why when we look at this year

1216
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 3: and we're saying, oh my god, look at the success

1217
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 3: of some of these rookie quarterbacks. Well a lot of

1218
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 3: them have played a lot of football, and I just

1219
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 3: that's one byproduct. You know, it used to be your

1220
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,839
Speaker 3: drafting a quarterback and you're thinking, well, I don't know.

1221
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 3: Hopefully we've seen enough that we know how this game translates.

1222
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 3: Now I think it's easier and easier for a staff

1223
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 3: to know, Okay, how exactly will this quarterback play out?

1224
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 3: You know, even Jayden Daniels, who was sort of a

1225
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 3: one year sensation, is twenty three years old, right like,

1226
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: so you know, you start talking about where these guys

1227
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 3: come into the league, they're just better polished. They've seen more.

1228
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think twenty five games. Some people

1229
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 3: believe twenty five games is the new sort of test

1230
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 3: that you have a better idea of a quarterback after

1231
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 3: twenty five games. Part of the reason the quinn Ewers

1232
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 3: went back to Texas. You know, you're getting more tape.

1233
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 3: The good news for NFL teams is is you get

1234
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: more tape, you can find out more issues The bad

1235
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 3: news for some of these players is is you get

1236
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 3: more tape, you can find out more issues. Right so,

1237
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 3: but but yeah, you're one thousand percent right. Drake has

1238
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 3: seen a lot of football. Bo Nicks is not particularly good.

1239
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 3: You cannot miss me with any conversation that the Broncos

1240
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 3: have found the quarterback of the future. But Bo is

1241
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 3: exactly kind of who everybody thought he was going to

1242
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 3: be so far. You know, I think Caleb Williams is

1243
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 3: you have an idea who he is when he comes

1244
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 3: into the league because he's played so much college football.

1245
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 3: So it just I agree with you strongly that now

1246
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 3: more than ever, you have a real opportunity to see

1247
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 3: who a kid is in college by the time they

1248
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 3: get to the NFL.

1249
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 2: And the Green Bay package right now with a about

1250
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 2: the Packers, they're hosting the Texans today. They have the

1251
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 2: system down path because they have the quarterback. They're doing

1252
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 2: the old school method. Draft the quarterback. You give him

1253
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: the clipboard on the sidelines, let him learn from the

1254
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 2: master for several seasons, and bingo, he comes in and

1255
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: he's doing really well. You know, Jordan Love right now

1256
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 2: is twelve touchdown passes in four starts, why because my

1257
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 2: league Williams started twice for them, and Packers are doing well.

1258
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: Texans are five and one. The Packers are playing today

1259
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 2: and the defense is doing it really for Green Bay.

1260
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: Seventeen turnovers most of any Packers team through six games

1261
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: since the year two thousand and two. But they've done

1262
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: it right with their quarterback right now with Jordan Love.

1263
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the next time the Packers drafted quarterback, can

1264
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 3: we as a collective society, I'll just shut up. I mean,

1265
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 3: it does it matter if you piss Aaron Rodgers off

1266
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 3: if you get your quarterback in the future, No, does

1267
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: it matter in you know, hopefully ten years if they

1268
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: drafted you know, Jordan Love has had a Hall of

1269
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 3: Fame level career and they draft his replacement. Okay, let's

1270
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 3: just stop this madness with the Packers because they've figured

1271
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 3: it out. You're right, one hundred percent. And if you've

1272
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 3: got to make your current quarterback mad, but it sets

1273
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 3: you up for the next decade at the position, it

1274
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 3: is worth it ten times out of ten, you know.

1275
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: And I've been tough on Jordan I think you know,

1276
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 3: I thought he got paid a lot of money before

1277
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 3: we'd really seen enough. I like proof of concept out

1278
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 3: of a quarterback. And you know, we hadn't seen enough.

1279
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 3: But I got to give him credit. I think this year,

1280
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 3: you know, once he started to knock the rust off,

1281
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 3: this year, it really looked good. He's had some good games.

1282
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 3: I think Jordan has put himself in a nice position

1283
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 3: in Matt Lafleur is finally running his offense much like

1284
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 3: he did at Tennessee. He's running an offense where he

1285
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 3: can utilize Josh Jacobs and he can utilize those young

1286
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 3: weapons like this is feels like the Packers are. As

1287
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 3: much as this sounds condescending, it isn't. The Packers are

1288
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 3: a solid football team. Like I don't look at them

1289
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 3: and say, oh, this is the one thing holding them back.

1290
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 3: I think the Packers are a really solid football team

1291
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 3: in a division that looks great.

1292
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 2: There's a pretty good game right now, it really is.

1293
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: The Packers are four and two. The Texans are five

1294
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: and one. The Texans defense has a lot fewer than

1295
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 2: two hundred passing yatchs and five of the six games,

1296
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 2: but they're five and one. And honestly, maybe I'm nuts,

1297
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 2: but I no one's talking about the Texans had a

1298
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: five and one team. I mean, really and truly, this

1299
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: team right now can go fairly deep in the play.

1300
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 2: They got it together. They're good on defense and offensively,

1301
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 2: they got it going. And Jill Mixon's coming back and

1302
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,879
Speaker 2: running back because he was hurt. I think this team

1303
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 2: could go deep. And no one's talking about the Houston

1304
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 2: Texans at all.

1305
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 3: Actually, I hadn't thought about it till you said it.

1306
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 3: Now that you said it kind of right, like we

1307
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: spent the whole offseason saying, oh my god, look at

1308
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 3: the Texans. Now, look at the Texans. They're gonna be

1309
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 3: competitive with the Chiefs. And now we're actually seeing it,

1310
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,800
Speaker 3: and it feels like it's we're almost taking it for granted, maybe.

1311
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 2: Taking anybody's still about the Commanders now, but.

1312
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 3: This is what what again? What happens? This is the

1313
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 3: moment of hope, like the beacon of hope, the light

1314
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel in the dark, dark world.

1315
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 3: Right if your favorite team is like mine, the Raiders,

1316
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 3: and they suck every single year, and this is where

1317
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 3: fans start screaming, Oh, they're not gonna be good until

1318
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 3: they sell the team. No, that's not it. They're not

1319
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 3: gonna be good until they figure out head coaching, quarterback

1320
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 3: and if you get those two things at the right

1321
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 3: time together, do you have a tandem. And that's what

1322
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 3: the Texans have. Like this is pretty simple now. Once

1323
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 3: they identified that CJ. Stroud will essentially having he's this

1324
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 3: generation's Dan Marino, immediate immediate impact at the highest possible

1325
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 3: level at the quarterback position, it felt like, no transition

1326
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 3: into the league. Good God, what is he doing? He's great? Right?

1327
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 3: So CJ. Straut is great and then they immediately aggressively

1328
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: win in and started surrounding him with more weapons. And

1329
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 3: they've got a defensive minded head coach that's great at

1330
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 3: his job, that's managed to keep their offensive coordinator employed

1331
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 3: there instead of taking a head coach job. Like this

1332
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 3: is just the amount of wild things that have gone right.

1333
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: I've become bigger and bigger fan of the concept of

1334
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 3: the Holy Trinity, the Father's son, the Holy Ghost. It

1335
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 3: is now the quarterback, the coach, and one great coordinator.

1336
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 3: And that's what you're one hundred percent correplus.

1337
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 2: I scream every single day and I live in the

1338
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 2: Cincinnati market. I love Joe Burrow. I think he's tremendous,

1339
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 2: but I think that his head coach is holding him

1340
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 2: back at Zach Taylor. And I don't like the idea

1341
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 2: that the head coach, Zach Taylor's calling the plays. You

1342
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: have an offensive coordinator, he should call the place. Plus,

1343
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 2: I don't like the fact that Zach Taylor is calling

1344
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: the place for the sidelines. I think you need to

1345
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: call the place for the booth. But that's my take.

1346
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if Andy Reid was coaching the Cincinnati Bengals,

1347
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 2: they would not be with two and four. They would not.

1348
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: I just think that the combination has to be mutual,

1349
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 2: has to be a coach and a quarterback. That got

1350
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 2: the quarterback, I don't think they got the coach. And

1351
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 2: I think you'd have to have a coach who a

1352
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: is respected by the team and b who's had a

1353
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: background of somewhat of success Andy Reid did in Philadelphia

1354
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 2: coming to Kansas City, Zach Taylor was a quarterback coach

1355
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 2: in LA before he came a head coach in Cincinnati.

1356
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a major difference there.

1357
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the one thing I would add

1358
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: is that if you're trying to replicate Kansas City, the

1359
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 3: other thing that they have. The other variable they have

1360
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 3: is the defensive coordinator that's one of the best in

1361
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: the NFL, that is probably going to be a defensive

1362
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 3: coordinator for the rest of his career, like it or not,

1363
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 3: so Spags is very comfortable where he is right now.

1364
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 3: Hasn't really had any traction to get another job opportunity.

1365
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 3: I look at this, This is why I'm so high

1366
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 3: on where Minnesota's head it because I think they have

1367
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 3: a brilliant head coach in Kevin O'Connell. I think they

1368
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 3: have a defensive coordinator that is absolutely one of the best.

1369
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 3: And frankly, because of a lot of reasons that we

1370
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 3: all know about that have nothing to do with his

1371
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 3: coaching ability, I don't think he's going to get much

1372
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 3: of a shot. Brian Flores is not going to get

1373
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 3: a shot at another head coaching job anytime soon. You

1374
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 3: see the league, I think it's going to be difficult

1375
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 3: to get those calls. So now you've got a defensive

1376
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 3: coordinator that is absolutely putting quarterbacks in a blender and

1377
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,479
Speaker 3: he's going to be there for I think a long time.

1378
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 3: If you're the Lions, you've got a head coach and

1379
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 3: a quarterback that are on the same page, that are

1380
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 3: doing a really good job. And you've got an offensive

1381
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 3: coordinator in Ben Johnson that is one of the best

1382
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 3: in the league. If you're the Texans, you've got a

1383
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 3: head coach and a coordinator that are on the head

1384
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 3: coach and a quarterback on the same page, with an

1385
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator that is one of the best and that

1386
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 3: everybody wants, so keeping that that's the third. But like

1387
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 3: the third, the little extra to this is that coordinator position,

1388
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 3: and that's it makes such a difference. And when you

1389
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 3: get all three of those together, you are immediately a

1390
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 3: super Bowl caliber football team. And that's that's why it's

1391
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 3: not as simple as draft quarterback. You better draft quarterback,

1392
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 3: you better have a great coordinator on one side of

1393
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 3: the ball, and you also got to have a head

1394
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 3: coach that is among the beast.

1395
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: Let's backtrack for a second. Dolphins Coats, what do you

1396
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: like in that one? I'm taking the Colts.

1397
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking the Colts too, But I think the

1398
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: Dolphins are just looking at and they're just trying to

1399
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: tread water until two it comes back and then let's

1400
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 3: see what they actually look like.

1401
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Texans Packers. I'm taking the Texans.

1402
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna that's it. I wouldn't put my money on it.

1403
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 3: If I'm being genuine, I would not put money on

1404
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 3: that game. I lean Texans, but man, I wouldn't. I

1405
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if the Packers. This is a flip

1406
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 3: of the coin. I'll take Texans.

1407
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, he's Jason Fitz. Get him

1408
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,439

1413
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 2: you just how good this quarterback really is. When next

1414

Speaker 2: have you seen their offense lately? Well, that's right around

1415
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 2: the corner. He's Jason Fitz Fitsie, I'm Andy Fermer. We

1418
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,240

1428
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 2: there and fifty. I think this might be the best

1429
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 2: game of the day. Lions at the Vikes today. Lions

1430
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: got the best one two running combo in the league

1431
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 2: and Jamal Gibbs and David Montgomery. That's the good news,

1432
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: all right. The bad news they lose Aiden Hutchinson and

1433
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 2: last week's forty seven to nine went over Dallas. So

1434
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 2: over the last two games, the Lions their offense is unreal.

1435
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 2: Rush sixty four times for three hundred yards. They've completed

1436
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 2: eighty three percent of their passes for over five hundred yards,

1437
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 2: six touchdowns, no interceptions, a perfect a perfect one hundred

1438
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 2: and fifty eight point three quarterback passer rating for their

1439
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: guy God, It's unbelievable this and I'm happy because this

1440
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: team has really taken a page and really emulates their

1441
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: coach Dan Campbell, which I saw I watched HBO Hard

1442
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Knocks a year ago, and this guy's a tough you

1443
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 2: know what, and that he's making this team pretty tough

1444
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 2: as well.

1445
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. Yeah, there's so much

1446
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 3: to love about this team. But that Aiden Hutchinson injury.

1447
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 3: You know, I had one person tell me this week,

1448
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 3: I don't think there was any more important defensive player

1449
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 3: to the scheme that they run the Dayden Hutchinson in

1450
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 3: the NFL. And I think one thing we got to

1451
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: really stress here is we understand that the secondary was

1452
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 3: a work in progress this year to get fixed for

1453
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 3: the Lions. One way we all know to mask a

1454
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 3: secondary with weaknesses with the great pass rush, So losing

1455
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: Aiden Hutchinson might expose some of the back end of

1456
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 3: that defense a little bit. This is really curious because

1457
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 3: it's a gruesome, terrible injury. What do the Lions do?

1458
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 3: This is a franchise. I don't even think we know

1459
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 3: the answer to that, because when the last time the

1460
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 3: Lions were in win now super Bowl mode, and that's

1461
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 3: exactly where they are right now. So they have to

1462
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 3: be I think a little bit aggressive, and they have

1463
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 3: to be willing to pay a little bit more than

1464
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 3: they might want to, because at the end of the day,

1465
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: this is that window, and it's so rare to be

1466
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 3: in a super Bowl window, and there's so little wiggle

1467
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 3: room in what looks like the best division in the NFL. Right,

1468
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 3: So I think the Lions are a super Bowl caliber team.

1469
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 3: I think Lions, the Lions right now deserved to be

1470
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,959
Speaker 3: in the conversation is the best, right. But this game

1471
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 3: is so interesting to me because one I'll go back

1472
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 3: to the Vikings.

1473
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 5: Right.

1474
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 3: The beautiful thing that the Vikings have done is they've

1475
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 3: put every single quarterback they've faced in a massive blender

1476
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 3: that's confused, like seeing ghosts, the old Sam darnoldism that

1477
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 3: is happening all the time to everybody that takes on realistically,

1478
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 3: that takes them on. So I just think we got

1479
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 3: to understand that this matchup is more than just what

1480
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 3: it means for today. This matchup is are the Vikings

1481
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 3: going to be able to do this to everybody all year?

1482
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 3: Or is Jared Goff and the Lions Are they capable

1483
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: of solving everything that no one else can solve? I

1484
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 3: think it's wildly interesting.

1485
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and couldn't the Vikings the Lions offense at one

1486
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 2: dimensional offense. That's the key right there. In my heart

1487
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 2: of hearts, I'm ruining for the Lions. I just I

1488
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 2: just like Dan Campbell, and I feel for the people

1489
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 2: of Detroit. They've been down and now so many years.

1490
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 2: But the Vikings are really that's the story of the

1491
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 2: NFL this year. It's a great game. It really is

1492
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 2: probably the best game on the doc of today. But

1493
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Lions because it's my heart now, my.

1494
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 3: Head, now I love that. Oh you know what, when

1495
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,439
Speaker 3: it's a fifty to fifty and I'm I'm flipping a coin,

1496
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 3: I'll take a quarterback I trust more, and I still

1497
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 3: trust Jerry golfmore Sam Darnold, So yeah, I'll go that way.

1498
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 2: Okay. Now, now we're going from that great game to

1499
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Seahawks Falcons, which is a questionable game and the Seahawks

1500
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 2: they got to stop the running game of Atlanta, And honestly,

1501
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 2: I look at Atlanta. I mean, Kirk Cousins was kind

1502
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 2: of looked at, like why do we get this guy?

1503
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 2: But now ifter a five hundred and nine yard passing

1504
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 2: game and four touchdowns in Week five, and last week

1505
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 2: they rushed for one hundred and ninety eight yards and Charlotte.

1506
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 2: But it's Charlotte, I know, I get it. Thirty eight

1507
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 2: to twenty win. Kirk Cousins right now is maybe the

1508
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 2: new savior for this team. Who knew? Who knew that

1509
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons right now will be four and two

1510
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: after six games?

1511
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, and Kirk Cousins. I think the only thing

1512
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 3: that I would say about the Falcons game plan is

1513
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 3: that anytime Kirk Cousins is throwing more passes than you know,

1514
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 3: years he's been on the earth, that's not the level

1515
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 3: of balance that they want, right, Like, right old quarterback

1516
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 3: throwing that many passes makes me a little bit uncomfortable.

1517
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 3: But the emergence of Drake London, it's funny because if

1518
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 3: you look back at Kirk cousins career, we all talk

1519
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 3: about how he loves a big tight end. Well, well,

1520
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 3: I think we all thought that that meant Pitch was

1521
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 3: gonna have a big year for Atlanta. That hasn't necessarily translated.

1522
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: But instead Drake London, who is a big bodied wide receiver,

1523
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 3: has been doing everything that usually Kirk likes from a

1524
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 3: tight end. I think Drake and his emergence is really

1525
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 3: an under talked about portion of this. That is a

1526
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 3: huge part of why I like the Falcons. I don't

1527
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 3: buy the Seahawks yet, and I think it's fair, you know,

1528
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 3: as much as we want to look at at the

1529
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 3: Seahawks and say, well, look at the record, they really

1530
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 3: struggled against some bad teams, and then they got a

1531
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 3: lot of credit for hanging tough with the Lions. I

1532
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 3: don't know, man, I'm just at this spot where prove

1533
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 3: it to me, Seattle, and I haven't seen it yet

1534
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 3: in a way that just undeniably proves it. So yeah,

1535
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 3: I don't like Seattle in this one.

1536
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 2: You make a great point. I heard what you said

1537
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 2: about Kirk Cousins throwing more passes than his age. I

1538
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: think that someone needs to do with stat I mentioned

1539
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 2: this before the Bucky Brooks. Anytime you look at a

1540
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 2: box score and you see a quarterback throwing for thirty

1541
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 2: five or more attempts in a game, there's a real

1542
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 2: good chance that that team has probably lost that game.

1543
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 2: And I'd love to see a stat on it. The

1544
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 2: stats on everything, but none on that. We've got quarterbacks

1545
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 2: attempts thirty five or more what their one loss record

1546
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 2: would because you're right, it's got to be somewhat balanced.

1547
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 2: And I think when you're throwing thirty five or more

1548
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 2: attempts in a game, it really is not balanced.

1549
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, complimentary football is a cliche for a reason.

1550
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 3: I do kind of believe that maybe we should kind

1551
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 3: of step back and look at teams more balanced and say,

1552
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 3: are you built in a way that actually allows you

1553
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 3: to win consistently? And then that means you got to

1554
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 3: be able to zig when everybody's eggs. It also means

1555
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 3: that your defense has to be built in a way

1556
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 3: to complements your offense. All of these like these are

1557
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 3: the nuances instead of just you know, yelling and screaming.

1558
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 3: Is this quarterback better than that quarterback? It really is?

1559
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 3: Is this offense capable of sustaining long drives? And so

1560
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think that looking at balance in

1561
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 3: general should be something that analytics spends more time looking at,

1562
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 3: and that we spend more time analyzing.

1563
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 2: And you know, this quarterback better than the other one.

1564
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 2: I think the Sam Donald story is going to shut

1565
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 2: those people up pretty good. Really, Now, how many people

1566
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 2: said he didn't belong in the league. He's going to

1567
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:36,959
Speaker 2: be a bum he's not gonna play, he's not gonna

1568
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 2: make it. Look at him now, comeback player of the Year,

1569
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 2: no doubt, no doubt.

1570
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And also going to be interesting because what's the

1571
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 3: future like, Look, I don't care how you get your quarterback.

1572
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 3: You get your quarterback, like, so we have plenty of

1573
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 3: time to figure out what that means in the future,

1574
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 3: you know, like what it means for the Vikings, for

1575
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 3: JJ and what it means for Sam Donald in the future.

1576
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 3: But what we've seen as re emergence of a player

1577
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 3: that now looks like he has a heck of a

1578
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 3: future in this league no matter what, whether it's with

1579
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 3: Minnesota or somewhere else. So good autumn. I want players

1580
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 3: to be successful. But also how wild that we're sitting

1581
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 3: here saying, man like, did they even need to draft

1582
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback? Like these are the strange conversations. It's it's

1583
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting to see how it plays out there.

1584
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: You go, Jason Fitz, Andy Furman, Fox Football, Sunny in

1585
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 2: Fox Smith's Radio, or now they blamed the quarterback. But

1586
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 2: here's the real problem that's next. But first, chris perfeederary

1587
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 2: of Sports Chrissy was sorry, we're a little bit late,

1588
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 2: but we were talking about your Detroit Lions anyway, so that's.

1589
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 4: So yeah, better late than never.

1590
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 8: Speaking of that game, we have an update on one

1591
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 8: of the players going in that game. Aaron Jones was

1592
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 8: kind of questionable through the week. Reports came coming out

1593
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 8: earlier that he is expected to play in that game,

1594
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 8: giving a boost for the Vikings run game. They had,

1595
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 8: of course signed Cam Akers, uh I mean, excuse me.

1596
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 8: Brought in Cam Akers early in this week as well

1597
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 8: to kind of bolster that just in case he wasn't

1598
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 8: ready to go. More injuries around the National Football League.

1599
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 8: We're set to play here in London in at nine

1600
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 8: thirty Eastern, but the Jaguars have officially ruled out running

1601
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 8: back Travis Etn He will not be playing, according to

1602
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 8: Doug Peterson telling NFL Network, Hey, he's dealing with a

1603
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 8: hamstring injury. So the Jaguars lose their top running back

1604
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 8: for this matchup. Ramondre St Stevens for the New England Patriots, however,

1605
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 8: is good to go, so he will play as the

1606
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 8: Jaguars take on the Patriots. More injuries around the NFL.

1607
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 8: Rams wide receiver Cooper Cup is unlikely to play today.

1608
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 8: Versus the Raiders. He's still dealing with an ankle injury.

1609
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,560
Speaker 8: The Titans are expected to start Mason Rudolph at quarterback,

1610
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 8: as their starting quarterback Will Levis is still nursing his

1611
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 8: own ills. Sources say the Jets and the Steelers were

1612
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 8: in talks to trade for wide receiver Mike Williams, but

1613
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,799
Speaker 8: those tables are those talks are now tabled until next week.

1614
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 8: Those both those teams, of course, playing each other today

1615
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 8: on Sunday. Last night, in baseball, the Yankees punched their

1616
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 8: ticket to their first World Series since two thousand and nine,

1617
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 8: Juan Soto with a three run bomb and extra innings

1618
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 8: five to two, as the Yankees power passed the Guardians

1619
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 8: and they await the winner of Dodgers and Mets. Dodgers

1620
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,799
Speaker 8: and Mets, of course, playing later on today. In college football,

1621
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 8: last night, Texas fell to Georgia thirty to fifteen, a

1622
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 8: controversial reversed PI call that saw bottles being littered on

1623
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 8: the field from Texas from the Texas students section, everyone

1624
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 8: trying to calm them down, and later on Kirby Smart

1625
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 8: of course acute saying that the refs tried to rob

1626
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 8: them of this game. Indiana seven and oh for the

1627
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 8: first time since nineteen sixty seven with a fifty six

1628
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 8: to seven victory over Nebraska, and Navy and Army watch

1629
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 8: out because the Commander in Chief trophy could be important.

1630
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 8: They are Navy six and oh Army seven to zero,

1631
01:10:54,840 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 8: both with double digit victories. And finally, Leonel Messi the

1632
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 8: Golden Child, scored a hat trick in eleven minutes last

1633
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 8: night and the final day of MLS play, setting a

1634
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,719
Speaker 8: single season scoring record for Inter Miami, but three goals

1635
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 8: in eleven minutes for the Golden Man.

1636
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 3: There.

1637
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 2: I know you get, Jason. I knew you'd get soccer

1638
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 2: in there. And by the way, I think it's Messi's

1639
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 2: second hat trick in the week, isn't it. I think

1640
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 2: it's something like that.

1641
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,640
Speaker 8: I I will have to go back and double check that.

1642
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 8: I just saw that he scored three goals in eleven minutes,

1643
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 8: and I was impressed with that.

1644
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: I know you were, I know, thank you so much

1645
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 2: seeing in an hour. All right, now, this team may

1646
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 2: have found the cure today. That's coming run up. He's

1647
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,040

Speaker 2: let's roll along right now, we got bottom barrel Betty

1661
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: coming up. I'd say maybe five six minutes from now.

1662
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 2: Panthers commanders, all right, here's the deal. But the Panthers

1663
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 2: demoted their quarterback Bryce Young, and that was part of

1664
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 2: the team's one in five record. However, however, get this,

1665
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 2: the Panthers defense has already given up twenty five more

1666
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 2: points than any other team in the league. So it's

1667
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 2: not entirely Bryce Young's fault. I don't think what's your

1668
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:36,040
Speaker 2: take on that.

1669
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's not entirely Bryce showing his fault. But

1670
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 3: you got to figure out if Bryce showns your guy,

1671
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 3: Like the one thing I don't understand. Tell me how

1672
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 3: Bryce is getting better not playing. Maybe they think that

1673
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: they're just saving him for something, But that's what they

1674
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 3: got to figure out. You're right, there are lots of

1675
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 3: things to fix in this for this Carolina team. The

1676
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 3: one thing they got to know they're going into next

1677
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 3: year's drafts. Are they trying to fix the quarterback position.

1678
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 3: That's that's the most important thing they've got to figure out.

1679
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 3: So I hear you. There are other things wrong, but man,

1680
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 3: they got to figure out what they're doing specifically at

1681
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 3: the quarterback position for the long term. I know.

1682
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: All I got to do is take a look at

1683
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 2: the team they're playing today. To Commander's look at this team.

1684
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: They turned it around with a quarterback. That's basically it.

1685
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about this at nauseum. Okay, NFL

1686
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 2: equals two things, quarterback and coaching. Boom bingo. You got

1687
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 2: those two combos, and you said you throw in that

1688
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 2: third combination, maybe the defensive coordinator and that mix over there,

1689
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 2: that trifecta. Boom you got it made. Look at the

1690
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 2: teams that don't make the playoffs, in the NFL. They

1691
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 2: don't have quarterbacks. They have quarterback problems, or they don't.

1692
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:35,799
Speaker 4: Have a quarterback.

1693
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 2: It's that simple, it really is. I don't get it.

1694
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 2: And last year, and I grew up following the New

1695
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 2: York Football Giants. I was a New York kid. I

1696
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 2: used to go to Yankee Stadium when they played the

1697
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 2: games over there, right for them to get rid of

1698
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:47,719
Speaker 2: sa Kuon Barkley.

1699
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 4: Let him go.

1700
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 2: He was sixty percent of the offense last year. Shame

1701
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,600
Speaker 2: on them, And I hope Barkley beats them to a

1702
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 2: pulp today when the Eagles play the Giants, I do.

1703
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to be out there with the thunder

1704
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 3: of the The whole team is going to play hard

1705
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 3: for him too. Yeah, Barkley is going to have that

1706
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 3: massive day. And then that's just going to be interesting

1707
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 3: because we all saw on Hard Knocks how the ownership

1708
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 3: group felt about Barkley. So this is just gonna be

1709
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 3: an interesting spot.

1710
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 2: All right, your team, your team, the Raiders are playing

1711
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 2: the Rams. Kind of a battle over there. Raiders could

1712
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 2: be a cure for the Rams league worst offense, worst

1713
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 2: run offense in the league. Okay, the Rams passing offense

1714
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 2: has the few touchdowns in the league, a few touchdowns

1715
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 2: in the NFC. The Raiders they have trailed by at

1716
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 2: least ten points in all their games this year, by

1717
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 2: at least ten points. So I don't want to rub

1718
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 2: it in. I know you're a Raiders fan. It's probably

1719
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 2: eating you out inside and outside. You know, Apfo is

1720
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 2: going to get the job done. I think he's the

1721
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 2: I think he's the man. I think he's the coach

1722
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 2: to get it done. But I don't know what the

1723
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 2: problem is. I really don't quarterbacking. Obviously, it's got to

1724
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 2: start there. I'm sure it's not the coaching. I think

1725
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 2: it's the quarterbacking or lack thereof.

1726
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 3: There's also a lack of depth, which we knew in injuries,

1727
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,440
Speaker 3: which everybody's been hit by, but it just it decimated

1728
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 3: parts of this team. The defense isn't very good, misstackles

1729
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,600
Speaker 3: are all over the place. They were supposed to be

1730
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 3: a really good defense type issues on the defensive line.

1731
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 3: Offensive line hasn't played particularly well. That now they don't

1732
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 3: really have any weapons to throw too, so it's all

1733
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 3: gone downhill quickly. It's all a disaster. Just Antonio Pierce

1734
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 3: has got to show that he can keep the guys

1735
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 3: engaged in playing hard, because that's really all right now,

1736
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 3: I think it's already I'm already at that spot where

1737
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 3: this year feels done for my team.

1738
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, but today you got with the

1739
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 2: running backs of Alexander Madison and Zamir White, they could

1740
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 2: get it done against his bad Rams running defense. They

1741
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 2: can have a field they take and look, if they

1742
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: win the three and four and the Rams go down

1743
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 2: to one and five, three and four, you still have

1744
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 2: The Door's not shut completely on the season.

1745
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 3: If you're three and four, No, the door is not

1746
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 3: shut completely on the season. But the door is shut

1747
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 3: on being a good football team. That's what I like.

1748
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 3: I'm tired of rooting just for a playoff appearance. I

1749
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 3: want to root for a good football team, and the

1750
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 3: Raiders are not that right now?

1751
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 2: All right, So are you picking them today? Obviously? Are

1752

1848
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 4: dot com. The way tire buying should be. That quote

1849
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 4: comes from the legend that is Kevin Durant, often trolling

1850
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 4: on Twitter to go after folks with burner accounts and

1851
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 4: everything else. That one he put his name on because

1852
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 4: it was his voice that said it. Many years ago,

1853
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 4: as people complained about the length of an NBA regular

1854
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,439
Speaker 4: season management all those fun things, he said, if you

1855
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 4: don't like it, don't watch. I've had a lot of

1856
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 4: people wringing their hands because they don't want to watch

1857
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 4: Patriots Jaguars today. The snooze button is there on your clock,

1858
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 4: radio or on your phone for a reason. You can

1859
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 4: wake up to better football, different football later on today.

1860
01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 4: How you doing, fellas, But that's it. It's ninety minutes

1861
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 4: from now.

1862
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 2: We're hanging. We're hanging. You know, people gonna watch. You

1863
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 2: know why, because the gamblers are gonna watch. The game

1864
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 2: is perfect for gambling. Basketball maybe not.

1865
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 4: So much now. Remember the gamblers don't actually sit and

1866
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,320
Speaker 4: watch generally andy, they make their bets and leave.

1867
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 2: Perhaps, but I mean the the so cold, not professional gamblers,

1868
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, the the oh yeah yeah, I'm saying. I

1869
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,680
Speaker 2: mean people like you and me, right, I will not

1870
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: really gamblers, but we'd like to throw a couple of

1871
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 2: shekels on it once in a while.

1872
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,679
Speaker 3: The people are gonna watch because it's I keep using

1873
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 3: this show because it's my bingch watch show. But people

1874
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 3: are gonna watch because it's better than Bar Rescue.

1875
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 4: Like, realistically, you're not to make Taffor yelling at it

1876
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 4: at people.

1877
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 3: No, I love I love Bar Rescue. I turn Bar

1878
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 3: Rescue on the bugs in this bottle. You know. I

1879
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 3: listened to him yelling, I'm like, that's right, Taffor, you yellow.

1880
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 3: I listened to him with the problematic butt funnel episode

1881
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,479
Speaker 3: like that that that now wouldn't do well. Like I look,

1882
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm a big bar rescue guy. I'm a big law

1883
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 3: and order guy, and like one hour shows that could

1884
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 3: be compartmentalized and finish that I can walk away from.

1885
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 3: So I'm big on this, right. So I understand background noise,

1886
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 3: But you wake up this morning, you're making your turkey

1887
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 3: bacon and egg whites. Like I am. Then you know

1888
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 3: you're gonna turn on a little football in the background,

1889
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 3: and that makes that makes a ton of sense. It's

1890
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 3: better than nothing, and people will always watch better than nothing.

1891
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 4: It's it's clean.

1892
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 2: Look, they're not gonna watch question in LA. It's six

1893
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning. That's why I'm not gonna watch.

1894
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 4: Oh you get up early. I mean you do probably

1895
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 4: a little different than the turkey, bacon and egg whites.

1896
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 4: I mean that now we're going to now we're speaking

1897
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 4: to a different sub sect, subsection of society there, Jason Finn,

1898
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 4: it's better than me in his diet as I'm already

1899
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 4: sitting here with a mocha that is, I think, how

1900
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 4: big is this cup? Mark Ramsey, what have we got

1901
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 4: about sixty four ounces? Going out here to get me?

1902
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 4: No donuts? No donuts today, No, no, no. I paid for

1903
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 4: donuts last week. I'm not made of money, as evidenced

1904
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 4: by the fact that I'm working on a Sunday morning

1905
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 4: here and rallying as early as it is here in

1906
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 4: Los Angeles to see my guys all bright eyed, every

1907
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,520
Speaker 4: one of them with a coffee cup larger than the last.

1908
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 3: That was the biggest when I started my fitness journey

1909
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 3: back in May. The biggest adjustment for me was I

1910
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 3: gave up caffeine. Now I can have a little caffeine now,

1911
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 3: but I gave up caffeine cold Turkey. But at the time,

1912
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 3: it was not uncommon for me to drink half a

1913
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 3: dozen sugar free energy drinks and a pot of coffee

1914
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 3: a day, Like that's just sort of normal for me.

1915
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 3: And but caffeine doesn't really give me an impact one

1916
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 3: way or the other. But I hear you on probably

1917
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 3: because I drank so much of it for so long.

1918
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 3: I hear you on the large But like when you're

1919
01:23:58,439 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 3: up in the wee hours of the morning, it just

1920
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 3: feels good. I had to learn to get used to

1921
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 3: water first thing in the morning, which is not nearly

1922
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 3: as appetizing. It just doesn't. It just doesn't start the

1923
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 3: day the same as a beautiful cup of coffee.

1924
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 2: I want to know, what does coffee have to do

1925
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 2: with fitness, mate, help me out here. I'm kind of

1926
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 2: foolish on that.

1927
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 3: So caffeine didn't take too much. Caffeine intake does a

1928
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 3: lot to your body, but not the least of which

1929
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 3: it changes your changes your metabolism, changes the way you

1930
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 3: metabolize things. But it also changes your quartersol levels and

1931
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 3: hydration all things. Yeah, so yeah, so I very much

1932
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 3: so limit my caffeine at this point. And but here's

1933
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: the transfer. The other side of it is when I

1934
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 3: do have a little caffeine, now I do feel a

1935
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 3: little like.

1936
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 4: You get a little bit of juice from it. Now,

1937
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 4: there you go.

1938
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean also, I just get poored to

1939
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 3: drinking Seltzer water all day. No, I get that, I

1940
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:48,800
Speaker 3: feel you on that. I'm just saying that when you

1941
01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 3: when we wake up this morning. The only reason I

1942
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 3: hate the International Games, and I do use the word

1943
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 3: hate here, I just absolutely abhor the International Games because

1944
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 3: it takes again a meaningly game away from the four

1945
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 3: o'clock window. And uh, y'all don't know this pain, but

1946
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 3: like there's something about going to the sports bar at

1947
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:08,479
Speaker 3: one o'clock. It's going to be packed. Everybody's got this

1948
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 3: energy on the East Coast, it's great, especially living in Connecticut.

1949
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 3: There'll be Giants and Eagles fans and Jets fans and

1950
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 3: everybody's yelling at the TV. Right, that's a typical Sunday.

1951
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 3: And then you hit the four o'clock games, when your

1952
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 3: game tips, if your or kicks off. If you're a

1953
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 3: Raiders fan, you're sitting there, I can't wait for the

1954
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 3: four o'clock games. You look around and suddenly the bar

1955
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 3: is completely empty because there's only two or three games

1956
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 3: and most of them are trash.

1957
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 4: Well, people don't care about the rams.

1958
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 3: See.

1959
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 2: The question today is is if you're a fitness freak,

1960
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:37,040
Speaker 2: which I assume you are, was reading the turkey with

1961
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 2: eggs and whatever the hell that is.

1962
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 4: I didn't mean.

1963
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 2: Get you a bad spot, right, Why are you going

1964
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 2: to a bar watch a game? I mean that could

1965
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 2: be the worst place in the world because you do

1966
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 2: not nibble peanuts, pretzels, potato chips, a couple of Bruski's.

1967
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 2: Come on, really, I mean why stay home and watch?

1968
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So there's something about the collective atmosphere like sometimes,

1969
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 3: Plus I do so much work on Saturdays for college football,

1970
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 3: I'm usually home on Saturday, so on Sunday I like

1971
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 3: to be out with the collective. You know, Oh, my

1972
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 3: god of all of the energy. But you know, here's

1973
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 3: the thing I've learned in this process of this health journey.

1974
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 3: I go into your insert bar name here, like Buffalo Wow.

1975
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 3: Wings is one down the street. You going there, you

1976
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 3: get the grilled chicken. You go with the grilled chicken,

1977
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 3: you get the side of edgies. You don't get any

1978
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 3: sauce to dip it in because you don't need sauce.

1979
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 3: Yellow mustard's fine, no calories in that, And then you

1980
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 3: drink some on sweet tea. And then at the end

1981
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 3: of it you take care of your server handsomely, knowing

1982
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 3: that you would have had a much larger beer if

1983
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 3: you were drinking or bill if you were drinking so

1984
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 3: and then if you got the calories on your macros,

1985
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 3: you can have a little non alcoholic action. So there

1986
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 3: we go, still having.

1987
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 4: That funds torture to me, well, are you going to

1988
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 4: go go the path of you know, you do what

1989
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 4: the rest of us gluttons will do, and then you

1990
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 4: just pay for it in the gym.

1991
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 2: A picture of beer and gin and wings.

1992
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 3: That's a great That is a great thing for most people.

1993
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 3: I'm just on a journey right now trying to get

1994
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 3: my apps to have apps. So like unfortunately the everyone

1995
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 3: says moderation, I can't necessarily partake in moderation because I'm

1996
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 3: on this journey to try like I want I started

1997
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 3: on May fifteenth. By next May fifteenth, I want my

1998
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 3: apps to have apps. I want to look like like

1999
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 3: I could step into you know. I want to take

2000
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 3: my shirt off and have people pass out because they

2001
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 3: see that my apps.

2002
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 4: Wow, you really want to be that that guy. I

2003
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 4: I it's proclamation. I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I

2004
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 4: gotta pause. I gotta pause our road to swol because

2005
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 4: we gotta go to the update desk because Chris Purfett

2006
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:33,600
Speaker 4: has some breaking.

2007
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 7: News, breaking news from Fox Sports.

2008
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 8: It's been it's been a bit of a drama around

2009
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:43,759
Speaker 8: the National Football League on what's going on with Hassan Reddick.

2010
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 8: But report just out from Ian Rapport the Jets are

2011
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 8: getting Hassan Reddick back. He has agreed to a reworked

2012
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 8: contract and will report to the team. The whole out

2013
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 8: has ended. Reddick has apparently settled on a short term deal.

2014
01:27:57,600 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 8: He was holding out for something a little bit longer term.

2015
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 8: By apparently Jets are going to get something a little

2016
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 8: team friendly. He will officially report tomorrow morning with the

2017
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 8: New York Jets.

2018
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 4: Thanks so much, Chris Purfett. Yeah, I would say that's

2019
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:16,559
Speaker 4: definitely it right, and what Aaron Rodgers wants Aaron Rodgers gets.

2020
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 4: The other thing is commerheads prevail and that he separated fired.

2021
01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:25,799
Speaker 4: You know, all of those we agreed to mutually part ways.

2022
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 4: Kind of nonsense with his old agents because they weren't

2023
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 4: he wasn't happy of the direction. And then from Schefter

2024
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 4: that they're agreeing to waive the over quote twelve million

2025
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 4: dollars in fines. I didn't know that you could do that.

2026
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 4: I thought that was where you couldn't do that anymore. So,

2027
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 4: I mean, look, you can always do the back door

2028
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 4: shenanigans of hey, you cut them off a piece of

2029
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 4: property or something deep in a line item that nobody finds,

2030
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 4: or you know, you got to have a bag man.

2031
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 4: We're all watching the penguin. Find your bag man and

2032
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 4: have them hang around, but with.

2033
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 2: It to have them shohey, he'll come up. Man.

2034
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a whole other thing. There you go. Oh

2035
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 4: from the top rope. That was a randy macho man.

2036
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, coming off the top rope. I thought that,

2037
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 4: but there it is. That was one of the big

2038
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 4: questions going forward. Two things. One with the Jets, go

2039
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 4: find an offensive lineman, remains to be seen. That's player

2040
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 4: X wire z E because unless they fix that. I

2041
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 4: gotta tell you this is all cosmetic in my opinion,

2042
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 4: going in all of it. But they certainly did need

2043
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,840
Speaker 4: a little bit of an extra boost on the pass

2044
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 4: rush and calmer heads prevail at least that's this morning

2045
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 4: Drew Rosenhaus his new agency coming to an agreement here

2046
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 4: to get back in the fold. What do you think

2047
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers's pitch.

2048
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 3: Was, come in and will win a Super Bowl. I

2049
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 3: am a little surprised. I thought that this might be

2050
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 3: a landing spot for the Lions too, if they were

2051
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 3: looking to bring in a pass rusher. I know, you know,

2052
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 3: obviously paying an aging pass rusher might not be at

2053
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 3: the top of their business model. But I thought, hey,

2054
01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:59,240
Speaker 3: here's a guy in the street that's available. So it

2055
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 3: answers two questions at once. But I think if you're

2056
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 3: DeVante and your Aaron Rodgers, you're calling and saying, hey,

2057
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 3: you know, look at our opportunity here. The problem is, Look,

2058
01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:09,760
Speaker 3: all of this makes the Jets more successful. I'm not

2059
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 3: taking anything away from the fact that all of this

2060
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 3: makes them more successful, But what is the line for

2061
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 3: success if the line was Super Bowl. I still look

2062
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:19,839
Speaker 3: at this and say, hey, the Jets were not without

2063
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 3: a number one wide receiver. They were incapable of utilizing

2064
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,839
Speaker 3: that number one wide receiver to the fullest of his potential.

2065
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 3: So now the argument's going to bring let's bring in

2066
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 3: a second number one and that's gonna fix everything. Like

2067
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 3: That's why the Amari Cooper trade to the Bills I

2068
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 3: think has far more impact because Amari to the Bills

2069
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 3: answers a question of something they need. What are you

2070
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 3: doing on third and five, third and six? But the

2071
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,200
Speaker 3: reason the whole league is calling to find out if

2072
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson's available is because Garrett is a number one

2073
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 3: wide receiver. So Devonte makes them better. But they were

2074
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 3: already misusing a very good wide receiver. So I just

2075
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm not buying the Jets type.

2076
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,799
Speaker 4: Still, Which is funny that you know, with Garrett Wilson,

2077
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,960
Speaker 4: misuse inability to get him unlocked. And we talked about

2078
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 4: it a little bit last week, Jason. The idea that

2079
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 4: for a couple of those games he was locking up

2080
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 4: with a couple of the best cover corners in the game. Right,

2081
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 4: So you hang it with a hang a star on it.

2082
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 4: But he also still had more targets than any player

2083
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:17,160
Speaker 4: in the National Football League, so the efficiency level hadn't

2084
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 4: been there. Maybe Adams opens that up. What say you,

2085
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 4: Andy Furman?

2086
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 2: You know, I just I think the Jets right now

2087
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 2: getting Aaron Rodgers, I don't think they realized the headaches

2088
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,800
Speaker 2: he was going to bring to this Wall club. I mean, certainly, Yeah,

2089
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: the guy's an MVP quarterback, is a future Hall of

2090
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 2: Fame quarterback, and I think that for ticket sales, for

2091
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 2: media hype, and for maybe potential greatness, everybody was excited.

2092
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of like in Cincinnati last week to hire

2093
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 2: Terry Francona as the manager. You know, everybody's sticking to

2094
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:51,799
Speaker 2: go into the World Series.

2095
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 4: Now.

2096
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,760
Speaker 2: I think it's great. You know, expectations are great, but

2097
01:31:54,840 --> 01:31:56,920
Speaker 2: I think the best days for Aaron Rodgers are behind

2098
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 2: him and coming up. That injury didn't help either, So

2099
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 2: you know, Aaron just comes on there. You're talking about distractions.

2100
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: He's the biggest distraction. They have Jerry Jones the biggest

2101
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:08,760
Speaker 2: distraction in Dallas, and Nick Siriani's the biggest one in Philadelphia.

2102
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 2: You can't win with distractions, and they're not gonna win.

2103
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, with Aaron Rodgers, anybody that didn't note the level

2104
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 4: of distractions, potential dysfunction, et cetera. I mean, I know

2105
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 4: Woody Johnson and his reputation and history. Did you just

2106
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 4: put your head in the sand. He's just saying you

2107
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,520
Speaker 4: were over in the UK for a while. That doesn't

2108
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,880
Speaker 4: work because I mean Aaron Rodgers, I mean that was

2109
01:32:32,960 --> 01:32:35,639
Speaker 4: as plain as the nose on your face for several years.

2110
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,080
Speaker 4: And then you're wishing and hoping that he comes to

2111
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 4: for him obviously you get four and a half snaps

2112
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 4: last year. You're hoping for bigger, better, stronger, and that

2113
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 4: it rolls through. Instead you got Robert Sala coordinator plus

2114
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:52,040
Speaker 4: is what we would term him. He's the ball guy.

2115
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 4: His buddy Nat Hackett gets promoted to a level where

2116
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 4: he has no control, and you have doubting as the

2117
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 4: play caller because they got to figure out what to

2118
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 4: do how to untrack Brice Hall here too, as much

2119
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 4: as you want to unlock Garrett Wilson, Breese Hall is

2120
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 4: a three point seven yard per carry back right now

2121
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 4: behind a bad, ineffective offensive line. And to your point, Andy,

2122
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 4: as much as we could talk about Aaron Rodgers and

2123
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 4: congratulations for Mike Williams. And we'll get deeper into this

2124
01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:24,719
Speaker 4: as we talk about the game in a few minutes.

2125
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:28,559
Speaker 4: Taking up and he threw Mike Williams under the bus.

2126
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 4: He was like a movie villain because he got right

2127
01:33:30,640 --> 01:33:32,320
Speaker 4: back up in front of reporters, like, yeah, you know,

2128
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 4: it's communication. What are you gonna do? You gotta learn?

2129
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 4: He was like, good for you, Mike Williams, as you

2130
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 4: get ready to audition for whoever's going to trade for

2131
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,600
Speaker 4: you next. More on that as we roll forward. We

2132
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 4: got some games to get through. It is week seven

2133
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 4: of your National Football League. Fantasy owners. All your picks,

2134
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 4: all your parlays, everything you're doing. You got an hour

2135
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 4: and fifteen minutes before kickoff New England and Jacksonville. Note ETN.

2136
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 4: Welcome to the all name world. Tank Bigsby. For the uninitiated,

2137
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 4: they'll get to watch him go to work and Drake

2138
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 4: May against what has heretofore been an absolutely inept Jacksonville defense.

2139
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 2: Question I have of this that that game is in London,

2140
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 2: and the NFL for several years has said that we

2141
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 2: want to move to London. Perhaps I have a franchise there. Why,

2142
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 2: I don't know but and they want the game to

2143
01:34:19,320 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 2: be you know, on the globe, all over the places

2144
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 2: to sell merchandise whatever it may be. Why would you

2145
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 2: bring those two teams to London? Could you sell out?

2146
01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 2: Because you because it doesn't matter. Yeah, the people of

2147
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:33,879
Speaker 2: it don't know any better. They think it's great football

2148
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 2: and it's the worst, it's terrible.

2149
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 4: Well, they're just excited for an opportunity for an event,

2150
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 4: right right when something is what it's a shame though,

2151
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 4: it's one of seventy two that you don't normally get.

2152
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 2: No, you're you're exactly right. But if you want to

2153
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 2: show people across the globe and across the pond what

2154
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 2: we have to offer, that's not the best thing we

2155
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 2: have to offer. That's all I'm saying. And there's got

2156
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 2: to be some people in London and say, wait a minute,

2157
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 2: these teams are not that good. Someone has to be that.

2158
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 4: Smart over the area. I'm sure they are, and in

2159
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 4: the pubs right as they're laying down their bet, right

2160
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 4: next door to the state or perhaps in stadium that

2161
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,759
Speaker 4: they're doing it. But I mean, we watch games every

2162
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 4: every week state side, most of them. You wouldn't the

2163
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 4: old Mike Mike north line that you use, Andy, you'd

2164
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 4: close your blinds out a lot of these games, right, right,

2165
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:24,480
Speaker 4: they're not all gems.

2166
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 2: But every they don't have a choice. This is this

2167
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 2: is the showcase.

2168
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 4: But in your city, you got one. Right, if you

2169
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 4: want to go to a game, you got eight choice.

2170
01:35:33,160 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 2: If you have a team.

2171
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:36,600
Speaker 4: Right, if you have a team, you have that choice. Otherwise,

2172
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 4: get to your streaming service. And again, quoting the great

2173
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant, you don't like it, don't worry. We got

2174
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 4: f one from Texas. Later we got the w NBA Finals.

2175
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 4: I heard you guys talking a little bit about that.

2176
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 4: What a great series, uh, and showing that officiating is

2177

Speaker 4: the air. Gentlemen, you're ready to get into the last

2215
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:55,839
Speaker 4: of the games. I know you did some deep dives

2216
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 4: on a good chunk of the slate, so you got

2217
01:37:58,040 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 4: a good lather working, ready to go.

2218
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 3: Let's go.

2219
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Let's go Jet Set Steelers.

2220
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, why don't we start right there because there's myriad

2221
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 4: storylines at play. Minus one and a half, that's right,

2222
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 4: the Jets favored on the road, thirty nine. Thirty nine

2223
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 4: is the total. That's actually higher than it was Thursday night.

2224
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 4: So hey, a little bit of a boost mixed here

2225
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 4: because we're gonna see a little of Devontae Adams. You

2226
01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 4: got the Jets seventh and total d give it up

2227
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,360
Speaker 4: just eighteen points per game. But you look at the

2228
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 4: balance that they're giving up one hundred and forty eight

2229
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 4: passing yards again one hundred and twenty four on the ground,

2230
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 4: so he can't get after it. Rogers completing just sixty

2231
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 4: two percent of his passes thus far, nine touchdowns, five picks.

2232
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,720
Speaker 4: We talked about Breise Hall and tried to get him

2233
01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 4: on track. Garrett Wilson, maybe fewer opportunities, maybe better opportunities,

2234
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 4: I don't know. But the other story, oh yeah, we

2235
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 4: buried the lead. Russell Wilson is gonna get the start,

2236
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 4: trying to do something to jump start, and maybe he

2237
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 4: surpassed the twenty point mark, maybe a little easier than

2238
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,840
Speaker 4: they did with Justin Fields. For Arthur Smith's offense, they're

2239
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:01,320
Speaker 4: only giving up fourteen point three game. Problem is they

2240
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 4: don't score a ton, leaving themselves susceptible to big opportunities

2241
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 4: and potential els. We'll start with you, Andy Furman, what

2242
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 4: do you think is Aaron Rodgers fixed.

2243
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 2: Past protection has been a problem on both these teams.

2244
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 2: I don't care for Russell Wilson's playing or Justin Fields.

2245
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 2: Justin Fields has been sacked sixteen times. Russell Wilson's coming in.

2246
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,720
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens, what he does over there. Here's

2247
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:24,599
Speaker 2: an interesting statistic though, because as far as the Jets

2248
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 2: are concern, Aaron Rodgers has been hit about thirty times

2249
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 2: this year. All right, but get this, the Jets six

2250
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 2: game point total is one hundred and thirteen points. And

2251
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 2: guess what, it's the same as it was last year

2252
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 2: with Zach Wilson at quarterback. So they got some problem.

2253
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 2: The defense is pretty good over there. We'll see what

2254
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 2: they go over there, Defonte Adams. This is a make

2255
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 2: up break game for the Jets right now. Good thing

2256
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 2: for them. If they lose, they're not at home, They're

2257
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. I hope they win because i'd like to

2258
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,960
Speaker 2: see New York come to come to fruition with sports teams.

2259
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they're women's basketball team. The New York

2260
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 2: Liberty wins tonight, maybe the Giants win. I'd love to

2261
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 2: see a Subway World Series with the Mets and Yankees.

2262
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:08,640
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping they win, and I think they have

2263
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 2: a better shot at winning right now because of the

2264
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:13,200
Speaker 2: uncertainty with the new quarterback. And I thought it was

2265
01:40:13,280 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 2: very funny when They ask Mike Tomlin the other day,

2266
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 2: who's going to quarterback the team this Sunday? And he's so,

2267
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to keep it for a game day decision.

2268
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:22,719
Speaker 2: And then George Pickens tells everybody who's going to quarterback?

2269
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 2: Who Isn't that funny?

2270
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 4: Isn't that the latest in the long line of things

2271
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 4: that are well, you don't want coming out of the

2272
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 4: mouth of George Pickens, the guy This effort has been

2273
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 4: questioned on with regularity there in Pittsburgh. The latest and

2274
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 4: many wide receivers there that's made a questionable decision as well.

2275
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think you guys are both

2276
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 3: right that offensive line is an issue. The question is

2277
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,759
Speaker 3: did justin Field save some of this? Because I understand

2278
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 3: that we want to look at some of the passing

2279
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 3: numbers in the inaccuracy, but I also watch Justin Field's

2280
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:55,639
Speaker 3: repeatedly beat teams with his legs when the pass rush

2281
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:57,679
Speaker 3: is about to annihilate him. I don't know that Russ

2282
01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 3: has that same level of being able to cook here.

2283
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 3: So you know, frankly, you've got the defensive Player of

2284
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 3: the Year candidate coming after him repeatedly coming after Aaron

2285
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 3: Rodgers repeatedly. But on the other side of the ball,

2286
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 3: you know, you've got a Jets defense that has not

2287
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 3: lived up to the hype so far, that hasn't been

2288
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 3: as good. I think there's a ton of pressure on

2289
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 3: both teams in this game, a ton of pressure on

2290
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 3: the Jets to get it right. I don't trust the

2291
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 3: Jets offensive line. I don't trust the Steelers offensive line.

2292
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 3: This feels like a disaster on both sides of the ball.

2293
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 3: So the question is who's gonna make mistakes? And we

2294
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 3: just have no idea what Russ looks like.

2295
01:41:29,760 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 2: You make a great point for you. What did Justin

2296
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 2: Fields do so poorly that he's being bench for Russell Wilson?

2297
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 2: Except for the fact that they Pittsburgh steel Is acquired Wilson,

2298
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 2: they better.

2299
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:40,920
Speaker 4: Play out well. I think they already had already promised

2300
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 4: him that sorry to cut you off fits. Is that right?

2301
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 9: He was?

2302
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:47,840
Speaker 4: He was in the quote pole position. I'm not saying

2303
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 4: they should have, but we we've been talking about Smith

2304
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 4: and I on the show for weeks going. Eventually, it's

2305
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 4: just gonna happen. Unless Justin Fields is throwing for three

2306
01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 4: hundred and three, They're they're gonna find a to get

2307
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson back in and here we are.

2308
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 3: I don't think the Steelers will be four and two

2309
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 3: right now without Justin Fields at quarterback. And it's not

2310
01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 3: because Justin Field has been an effective passer. He is not.

2311
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 3: It's because he has just run around like there were

2312
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 3: a couple of times. Obviously, I watched last week's game

2313
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 3: with tremendous interest. I think the outcome on that game

2314
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 3: looks much different if you don't have somebody as mobile

2315
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:24,839
Speaker 3: as Justin Fields getting away from running away from Max Crosby.

2316
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 3: That's it, over and over and over again. He saved

2317
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 3: them on third and six and it's like, oh man,

2318
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 3: they got him. Nope, they don't have him. And that's

2319
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,360
Speaker 3: just that's gonna be a dynamic part of this offense.

2320
01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 3: It's missing. I think the Steelers offense is just gonna

2321
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 3: hit a wall. But the biggest but again, this game

2322
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 3: really comes down to how many times is walking to

2323
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 3: annihilate Rogers? And is Rogers more accurate? Like why are

2324
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,719
Speaker 3: we just forgiving the fact that Aaron Rodgers was wildly

2325
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:50,720
Speaker 3: inaccurate with the football even to open guys last week?

2326
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just I don't I don't love the

2327
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,759
Speaker 3: Jets in this game. I don't love the Steelers with Russ,

2328
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 3: but man, I got a lean Pittsburgh right now.

2329
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 4: I'd take the home with the defense. You said the name,

2330
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:05,200
Speaker 4: so long as TJ watts upright and getting after it

2331
01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 4: on the other side of end. The Jets. Look what

2332
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 4: they did. It's like, all right, we're not getting any

2333
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 4: consistent pass rush and they're leading to holding penalties in

2334
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 4: the secondary. Ton of penalties back there and in effectiveness

2335
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 4: even if it doesn't show up in the points. So

2336
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 4: loud per game is you don't have a pass rush.

2337
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,600
Speaker 4: So you brought Reddick in. You gotta pay him and

2338
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 4: get him on the field. Yeah, we'll see if Russell

2339
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 4: Wilson's downfield pass. I don't think people watched him in

2340
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 4: Denver last year. I think they looked at the final

2341
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:36,040
Speaker 4: stats and said it must have been pretty good. It

2342
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:38,400
Speaker 4: was a disaster. He'll take as many bad sacks or

2343
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 4: more than justin Fields did. All right, let's pause here.

2344
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,000
Speaker 4: Let's turn it over to our guy, Chris Purfette with

2345
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 4: an update of everything going on in our sporting universe.

2346
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 4: Starting to get some of those ins and outs. As

2347
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 4: we're an hour away from kickoff. What's up, Chris?

2348
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 8: We are an hour away from kickoff and Travis Etn

2349
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 8: is out. According to head coach Doug Peterson, the Jaguars

2350
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:00,719
Speaker 8: will have to start with Tank Bigsby out. Running Back

2351
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 8: Travis Etn had been questionable leading into this game with

2352
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 8: a hamstring injury, but he will not be a go

2353
01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 8: for today as the Jaguars are taking on the New

2354
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,639
Speaker 8: England Patriots in London nine thirty am. Eastern running back

2355
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 8: from Andre Stevens is going to start for the New

2356
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:21,759
Speaker 8: England Patriots. However, Patriots are also apparently on their twelfth

2357
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 8: offensive lineman in seven games, something to keep an eye

2358
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 8: on there. That is I think almost unprecedented. I believe

2359
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 8: the record going back to about nineteen ninety nine is

2360
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 8: fourteen offensive lineman in a season, So we'll keep an

2361
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 8: eye on that. But the big breaking news this morning,

2362
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 8: Hassan Reddick is back with the New York Jets, the

2363
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 8: NFL's last remaining long holdout, has agreed to a reworked

2364
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 8: contract and will report to the team on Monday. He's

2365
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 8: apparently settled on a short term deal. He had been

2366
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:57,960
Speaker 8: hoping for a long term deal in the future. More

2367
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 8: injuries and starts to go. Cooper is out the Rams

2368
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,600
Speaker 8: wide receiver dealing with an ankle injury. It does not

2369
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 8: look like he will be playing versus the Raiders. Aaron Jones,

2370
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:10,879
Speaker 8: running back for the Minnesota Vikings, is slated to play however,

2371
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 8: against the Detroit Lions, so a little reinforcement there. Deontay

2372
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:19,679
Speaker 8: Johnson missed Wednesday and Thursday practice and was limited on Friday.

2373
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 8: The injury report added ribs and hamstring to his injuries,

2374
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 8: but apparently he is trending towards a go for the

2375
01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 8: for the Panthers. The Jets and Steelers are apparently in

2376
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 8: talks to trade for wide receiver Mike Williams from the

2377
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 8: New York Jets, but those talks are now tabled until

2378
01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 8: next week as both those teams will be playing each

2379
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 8: other today. Titans are starting Mason Rudolph under center as

2380
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 8: their usual starting quarterback. Will Levis is out for this game,

2381
01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 8: still dealing with that shoulder injury, and Dolphins quarterback to

2382
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 8: a Tongue of Ailoa is set to report next week.

2383
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:00,679
Speaker 8: His twenty one day practice window is opening, so he'll

2384
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 8: be back practicing on Wednesday, not for this weekend for

2385
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:05,960
Speaker 8: the Dolphins, but soon in the future they could be

2386
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:08,240
Speaker 8: getting to a back He has not played since Week

2387
01:46:08,280 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 8: two when he suffered a concussion, and Marcus Valdez Scanceling

2388
01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 8: is flying out to New Orleans. The former Bills wide

2389
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 8: receiver is slated to have a workout and physical with

2390
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 8: the team and maybe getting some relief after the New

2391
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 8: Orleans suffered a good number of injuries. Quick notes from

2392
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,599
Speaker 8: last night in sports, Juan Soto three run home run

2393
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 8: was the deciding factors The Yankees go back to the

2394
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:37,599
Speaker 8: World Series first time since two thousand and nine. They

2395
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 8: are awaiting the winner of Dodgers and Mets. Dodgers of Mets,

2396
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 8: of course, played later today. Texas felt Georgia thirty to

2397
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 8: fifteen in college football. A controversial reversed PI call before

2398
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,679
Speaker 8: that saw trash rained onto the field from the Texas

2399
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:55,479
Speaker 8: student section. The reverse PI call earned the umbrage of

2400
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 8: Georgia coach Kirby Smart, but Georgia survives there takes down

2401
01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 8: number one Texas and in hockey in real quick hockey

2402
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:08,439
Speaker 8: because I know Andy loves hockey, cracking two one Jordan

2403
01:47:08,479 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 8: every overtime goal, first loss for Calgary.

2404
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 4: Back to you guys, there you go at Chris Burfett

2405
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 4: where you find him there, see all this stuff, Pride

2406
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 4: to Detroit. He wanted to. I don't think he had

2407
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 4: a soccer score for you yet, Andy, he earlier. Okay,

2408
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 4: just so we make sure we check all the boxes. Here,

2409
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 4: it's a Fox Football Sunday or Football Sunday as it were.

2410
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 4: Welcome back into the tire Act dot Com, Fox Sports

2411
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,800
Speaker 4: Radio Studios. There's Andy, that's Jason. I'm michae Let's get

2412
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:40,000
Speaker 4: another game in Chief said, Yes, let's get it on

2413
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 4: Super Bowl rematch. Everybody's fired up. All the questions of

2414
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 4: will the Chiefs find themselves a wide receiver along the way.

2415
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 4: Remember they're still undefeated. Forty seven is the total. Forty

2416
01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:55,000
Speaker 4: nine Ers a narrow two point favorite in this one.

2417
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:58,599
Speaker 4: The big question for the Chiefs defense can they stop

2418
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 4: George Kittle. They've been estimated by opposing tight ends. Kittle

2419
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 4: killing it right now, twenty eight catches on the year,

2420
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 4: nearly three hundred yards already five scores for the forty

2421
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 4: nine ers. Trying to figure out how to get the

2422
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:14,759
Speaker 4: other receivers on track. In IUK, he's still without a touchdown,

2423
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:18,160
Speaker 4: catch on the ear and Deebo just twenty catches thus

2424
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 4: far for the Chiefs. We've talked about trying to find

2425
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 4: more help in the receiving corps. The last note from

2426
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 4: San Francisco. Jennings is out with the hip injury. Kareem

2427
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,719
Speaker 4: Hunt came back four point two yards per Carrey. Looks

2428
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 4: like he's the bell cow right now. Travis Kelcey, after

2429
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 4: shaking off his see what I did there, shaking off

2430
01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 4: his summer tour work is getting after it. You look,

2431
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:44,000
Speaker 4: get at a couple of great defenses in a big

2432
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 4: spot coming out of a bi week. We know what

2433
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 4: Andy Reid usually does, and here's a giant test for him.

2434
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:51,479
Speaker 4: Jason Fitz, we start with you.

2435
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hammer the over on this for me, and

2436
01:48:55,000 --> 01:48:57,040
Speaker 3: I'll say this, this is the damned. If you do

2437
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 3: damned if you don't bowl for San Francisco. If they win,

2438
01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,280
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna say, oh, it doesn't matter until they do

2439
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 3: it in the Super Bowl. They gotta get over the hump,

2440
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 3: and if they lose, it's god. They just can't get

2441
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:09,360
Speaker 3: over Kansas City. But let's just be real, let's change

2442
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 3: the conversation block for tomorrow already.

2443
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 5: How dared?

2444
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm done. I'm done. If we've got it all

2445
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 3: figured out. You know, if brock Purty plays lights out,

2446
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 3: it'll be well, I still need to see more. It's

2447
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 3: all shine ahand and and brock Perty plays poorly, it'll

2448
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 3: be all party. Just isn't the answer. They don't really

2449
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 3: have a fifty five million dollar quarterback, like we're just

2450
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,280
Speaker 3: so dug in on all of this. Realistically, I think

2451
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 3: the fact that San Francisco has managed to tread water

2452
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 3: with the injuries they've had has really been substantial. They

2453
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:36,640
Speaker 3: are a very good football team. I don't care what

2454
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 3: the record says, but the fact is, I really loved

2455
01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:41,040
Speaker 3: what you said at the beginning of that setup. We

2456
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 3: are talking about the Chiefs and how broken they are,

2457
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 3: and they are undefeated the end of the day. This

2458
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 3: is what we know. Kansas City keeps every game close.

2459
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 3: And what we also know is that Patrick Mahomes record

2460
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 3: in close games is gross. It's so good. So the

2461
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 3: only way that you're gonna beat them is to beat

2462
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,080
Speaker 3: the best coach in the best quarterback, and the best

2463
01:49:58,120 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator in a close foot That is a tall

2464
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 3: ask for anybody. I don't understand how Kansas City does it.

2465
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 3: Every week. But they just damn do so that's all

2466
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:07,599
Speaker 3: I care about At this point.

2467
01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 2: I would say this instead of like wasting your time

2468
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 2: on this breakdown of positions and stats, don't The bottom

2469
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 2: line is this, don't bet against the Kansas City Chiefs.

2470
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 2: You just don't do it good perfect Wait, they're a

2471
01:50:21,080 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 2: perfect five and oh. They've only outscored their opponents by

2472
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,160
Speaker 2: thirty three points, which is the lowest point differential. But

2473
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,439
Speaker 2: any team that's five and oh in the league since

2474
01:50:29,520 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 2: maybe way back, since they will play with leather helmets.

2475
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 2: They're five and oh though. But here's the deal. Forget

2476
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,679
Speaker 2: about the demise of they're so coled, demise of their

2477
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 2: tight end, Travis Kelsey.

2478
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:39,719
Speaker 4: He's back.

2479
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 2: He's more like himself, and he's a bigger part of

2480
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 2: the offense and he will be today. Why Rashie Rice

2481
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 2: is gone, he's signed with the broken leg. And if

2482
01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 2: they double team Rice, they now have a Juju Smith

2483
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 2: Schuster who can make the big play as well. Don't

2484
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 2: bet against the cheese.

2485
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 4: Please, nicely done, And that that's one to grow on.

2486
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 4: That was a better political message anything I've seen interrupting

2487
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 4: my sports day. He's Andy Furman and he approves this

2488
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 4: message paid for by paid for by.

2489
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:10,559

2500

2503
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 4: It spread slowly, or the thing if you want to

2504
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:53,520
Speaker 4: go to horror classic.

2505
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 2: Like the measles, Its spread slowly, the measles.

2506
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 4: I go sci Fi. He's talking about can muticable diseases?

2507
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 4: What's he doing to me here, Fitz.

2508
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:06,960
Speaker 3: I'll stick on the thing. I'm more of a guy

2509
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:08,759
Speaker 3: than a communicable giving.

2510
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 4: Keith David, I'm giving you, Kurt Russell. Let's get the

2511
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 4: measles flowing again.

2512
01:52:14,240 --> 01:52:16,519
Speaker 3: I'll take it and I'll raise your toxic avenger. But

2513
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 3: go ahead, go.

2514
01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 4: Nicely done. Hey, I saw someone teasing the classic Hobo

2515
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:27,000
Speaker 4: with a shotgun Rug Howard movie. So we got all

2516
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,719

Speaker 4: He got it all poppin', maybe some promotions as well.

2524
01:52:57,960 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 4: Can we get someone to race a horse in twenty

2525
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 4: two twenty four?

2526
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:03,520
Speaker 2: Who's worth won't do it anymore? Is too old?

2527
01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 4: Well, we don't need him. We got we gotta find

2528
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:08,519
Speaker 4: a suitable substitute. There's plenty of wide receivers looking to

2529
01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 4: get the get their handout, to get some attention.

2530
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:13,480
Speaker 2: I may go after Jamar in Cincinnati.

2531
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:15,559
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll see what he wants. I'll help with the

2532
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,040
Speaker 4: letter writing campaign. How about that let's get it on

2535
01:53:21,840 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 4: fellas on Saturday mornings here at Fox Sports Radio at

2536
01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 4: Jason Fitz where you find him on Twitter, find me

2537
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:30,880
Speaker 4: yelling at Jason Smith. We'll see how much is Mets

2538
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 4: related after tonight, and then of course Jets football on Monday,

2539
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:39,000
Speaker 4: Ray for mojo. As it were, we got two more

2540
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 4: games to go, so let's get back into that.

2541
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: Including Buccaneers.

2542
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:43,720
Speaker 3: Here we go.

2543
01:53:44,400 --> 01:53:47,400
Speaker 4: Now we're talking right here, all right. Forty nine and

2544
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:51,000
Speaker 4: a half is the total. Ravens a three and a

2545
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 4: half point favorite. Behind the run game, two hundred and

2546
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:58,519
Speaker 4: five rushing yards per game, Derrick Henry fout to youth, Hey,

2547
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 4: who knew all you had to do was get away

2548
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:04,479
Speaker 4: from the Titans and the Arthur Smith experience from years ago.

2549
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,439
Speaker 4: So all of that to say, he's getting it done.

2550
01:54:07,439 --> 01:54:11,920
Speaker 4: And you're looking at fourth scoring offense nearly thirty points

2551
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,120
Speaker 4: per game. Defensively, they can be had giving up nearly

2552
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 4: twenty five per game. So that's the curiosity here, Flowers

2553
01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 4: and Bateman, your leaders. Of course, everybody, for fantasy purposes

2554
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:25,040
Speaker 4: loves himselves some likely, and hoping that Mark Andrews becomes

2555
01:54:25,080 --> 01:54:27,360
Speaker 4: more than just a pancake blocker. On the other side,

2556
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,680
Speaker 4: Tom Brady's showing love to Baker Mayfield. Now it's like

2557
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:33,640
Speaker 4: throwing out a giant olive branch. Mike Evans was a

2558
01:54:33,680 --> 01:54:36,560
Speaker 4: game time decision, according to his coach, and then hours

2559
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 4: later it was updated too. No, he'll be just fine,

2560
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 4: and he was taking off the injury report. Godwin seventh

2561
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,240
Speaker 4: most targets in the NFL thus far, and then a

2562
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:47,520
Speaker 4: running back by committee. Sorry, fantasy owners, it's Tucker, Tucker,

2563
01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 4: it's white, it's irving. And if you like overs, what

2564
01:54:51,680 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 4: did I say, forty nine and a half, it's hit

2565
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 4: in five of six Baltimore games and four of six

2566
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:57,200
Speaker 4: Tampa games.

2567
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:00,440
Speaker 2: Andy First, Dibbs, I tell you what. This is a

2568
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 2: great game, and I tell you why. First of all,

2569
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:04,680
Speaker 2: the storyline that we should talk about is that they've

2570
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 2: got two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks playing Baker Mayfield and

2571
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:10,800
Speaker 2: Lamar Jacks bat one number two. It's gonna be a

2572
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:13,360
Speaker 2: lot of scoring. And you mentioned forty nine and a half.

2573
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 2: Ravens lead the league with twenty one offensive touchdowns. The

2574
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Bucks have twenty today.

2575
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 3: You go.

2576
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 2: But here's the key I think of this game. The

2577
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 2: Ravens defense is only giving a fifty nine yards on

2578
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:27,000
Speaker 2: the ground per game. That's the key right there. They're

2579
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 2: gonna stop them. This Baltimore team is tough, Baltimore team

2580
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:34,160
Speaker 2: has a great balance on offense, tremendous defense. Baltimore will

2581
01:55:34,200 --> 01:55:36,000
Speaker 2: win this game. And I like the Baltimore Ravens. And

2582
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 2: I hate to say that because I'm a Bengals fan

2583
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 2: and I don't want to see the divisional teams win,

2584
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 2: but they will win.

2585
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 3: I just love saying hammer the over apparently today, keep

2586
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:47,800
Speaker 3: hammering over. Yeah. I don't trust either of these defenses

2587
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:50,520
Speaker 3: on anything. And this is the thing, like I just

2588
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:53,879
Speaker 3: I know that there's been success by Tampa Bay's defense

2589
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 3: against good running backs. This Year's happened a couple of times.

2590
01:55:56,680 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 3: So some betters out there are saying, be cautious on

2591
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:01,800
Speaker 3: Derek Henry. I'm not cautious on anything. I don't know

2592
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 3: how you stop this Ravens offense consistently. I've been saying

2593
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 3: this all year. Realistically, the thing that makes them impossible

2594
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:10,560
Speaker 3: to stop is that not only can their running back

2595
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 3: crush you, but their quarterback can run when he wants to.

2596
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:16,840
Speaker 3: They've got They're so good offensively right now at disguising

2597
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 3: what they're doing that they don't even need a two

2598
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:21,640
Speaker 3: time NFL MVP to be great to win football games.

2599
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 3: And to me, it's all about the chess match of

2600
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 3: their tight ends. Their tight ends block like maniacs, but

2601
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 3: also in that blocking formation can step out and catch balls.

2602
01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 3: So if you really want to try and commit to

2603
01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:33,720
Speaker 3: stopping the run, you are going to be susceptible to

2604
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:35,720
Speaker 3: Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews taking you down in the

2605
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:38,560
Speaker 3: passing game. It's just it creates too many variables. I

2606
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:40,360
Speaker 3: think the Ravens by the end of the year are

2607
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 3: the toughest offense in the NFL to stop. I think

2608
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 3: they have a very real shot at the Super Bowl,

2609
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 3: and I think they win this game. That being said,

2610
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay is no slouch. I want to give them

2611
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:51,240
Speaker 3: a ton of credit. It's just this is just points, points, points,

2612
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 3: points everywhere.

2613
01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:55,160
Speaker 4: Don't tell them short, They're a tremendous slouch, all right.

2614
01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 4: Daddy Shack wins Dereck Henry line for the day eighty

2615
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 4: three and a half yards rushing For those looking for

2616
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 4: a little bit of play within the games themselves. All right,

2617
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:06,200
Speaker 4: we got one last.

2618
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:07,879
Speaker 1: One Chargers at Cardinals.

2619
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty four and a half is the total. It's

2620
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 4: gonna be a slog fest. That's how Jim Harbaugh likes it.

2621
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 4: They're a narrow favorite on the road going up against

2622
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:20,240
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray. He'll get Marvin Harrison Junior back cleared protocol

2623
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 4: seventeen catches on thirty seven targets for the year. McBride

2624
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:27,120
Speaker 4: their leading receiver thus far, but he's not found the

2625
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:30,400
Speaker 4: end zone. See if that changes against a very stingy

2626
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 4: Chargers defense. They're first in the NFL guys thirteen point

2627
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,720
Speaker 4: two points per game. Everybody wants to point to yards

2628
01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,520
Speaker 4: as telling you you're the best defense. I don't care

2629
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:42,920
Speaker 4: how many yards you get. How many points do you allow,

2630
01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:45,880
Speaker 4: that's all that matters. The problem is they also don't

2631
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 4: score very well. They only scored an eighteen point two clip.

2632
01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 4: It's still greater than thirteen point two, which is great.

2633
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 4: And we've seen the ineffectiveness at times, the curiosity that

2634
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 4: is the Arizona offense. I think the pass rush of

2635
01:57:59,120 --> 01:58:02,400
Speaker 4: the Chargers make today a long, long day. But we'll

2636
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 4: start with you Andy, what do you think.

2637
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 2: I tell you what. Justin Herbert right now looks like

2638
01:58:05,720 --> 01:58:08,520
Speaker 2: he's healthy because last week he had a season high

2639
01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 2: in passing you guys to thirty seven as well as completions.

2640
01:58:12,040 --> 01:58:14,840
Speaker 2: I just think that overall, the Charges are a better

2641
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 2: team and the Cardinals a lot more inconsistent and one

2642
01:58:17,040 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 2: of the key stats in this game, the Chargers have

2643
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 2: not allowed a single point off turnovers, which is a

2644
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 2: tremendous thing on the defensive part of football. So I

2645
01:58:25,040 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 2: like the Charges. I think the Charges are better Kyler Murray.

2646
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 2: I don't know where he's at. I know what kind

2647
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:31,879
Speaker 2: of game you get from him on a Sunday basis,

2648
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 2: You just don't know. So I think the more consistent

2649
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 2: team and the better team together offensively and defensively are

2650
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:38,320
Speaker 2: the Charges.

2651
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 3: I think those Chargers defensive numbers are a bit of

2652
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 3: a mirage only because they've taken on the Raiders trash offense,

2653
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 3: the Panthers trash offense, the Steelers trash offense, the Broncos

2654
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 3: trash offense. Like, let's just let's call it like it

2655
01:58:51,080 --> 01:58:53,240
Speaker 3: is at this point. They did take on the Chiefs, who,

2656
01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, frankly not the offense we're used to. I

2657
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,320
Speaker 3: don't think the Chargers have really been tested. That being said,

2658
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 3: I do think you're right. The Cardinals don't really have

2659
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:03,040
Speaker 3: an identity. I don't even know how to fix what's

2660
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 3: wrong with Arizona right now. It looked good for a second.

2661
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 3: It doesn't look good now. But I do think I

2662
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 3: think Marvin Harrison eats This is a close game For

2663
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 3: me in this one. I'm actually leaning Cardinals top set.

2664
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:16,480
Speaker 4: Look at you, really, I like chaos. I think this

2665
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 4: could be a field goal kicking contest when it's all

2666
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 4: said and down, that'd be so terrible. So at least

2667
01:59:21,320 --> 01:59:26,360
Speaker 4: they're not college kickers, so the opportunity does make itself possible.

2668
01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 4: What we've seen the fifty plus super tow effect in

2669
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:34,040
Speaker 4: the NFL. And Andy Furman FSR is where you find him.

2670
01:59:34,240 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 4: Find Jason over at Jason Fitz. Long slate of game

2671
01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:40,400
Speaker 4: starts in about a half hour, and you got plenty

2672
01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 4: of time to get some egg whites and turkey bacon together.

2673
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:45,920
Speaker 3: He just took the turkey bacon longer. It's better when

2674
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 3: it's a little there you go.

2675
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:50,600
Speaker 4: We'll get some extra fat in the fryar for you.

2676

02:00:56,080 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 4: NFL action. We've got the WNBA Finals Game five. We've

2695
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:05,000
Speaker 4: got Game six of the NLCS from Dodger Stadium, the

2696

Speaker 4: on the scene, so no doubt I will get a

2699
02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:19,520
Speaker 4: litany of text about the game and whatever he's consuming

2700
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:22,880
Speaker 4: from he and his wife later on. I'm sure I've

2701
02:01:22,960 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 4: missed high A LII and a million other things, your kids, sports,

2702
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:29,600
Speaker 4: wherever you may be. But Jason Fitz, if you can't

2703
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 4: find something on the television, you know, if you go

2704
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,520
Speaker 4: to the local watering hole and say, hey, I'd like this,

2705
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 4: it's just not for you. It's time to hang it up.

2706
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Can I pull up a soapbox and stand on it

2707
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:46,080
Speaker 3: for a second? Hit me. This is why, as somebody

2708
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:49,600
Speaker 3: that has been an ardent, longtime supporter of the WNBA,

2709
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:52,320
Speaker 3: I think they have made some of the dumbest decisions

2710
02:01:52,360 --> 02:01:53,320
Speaker 3: they and their broadcast.

2711
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:55,480
Speaker 4: Oh it's been a very difficult, dumbest.

2712
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Like there is a part of me, and you know,

2713
02:01:58,120 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 3: for anyone that doesn't remember, obviously, I was the ESPN

2714
02:02:01,360 --> 02:02:03,920
Speaker 3: Radio before this and worked for years with Sarah Spain.

2715
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:06,240
Speaker 3: And when I first started working with Sarah, she made

2716
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:08,480
Speaker 3: it abundantly clear we were going to cover the W

2717
02:02:08,800 --> 02:02:11,600
Speaker 3: and so I dove into it starting in twenty eighteen.

2718
02:02:11,640 --> 02:02:13,880
Speaker 3: I've been, you know, covering it at some level for

2719
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:16,160
Speaker 3: a long time on radio, talking a lot about it,

2720
02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 3: and I've been a supporter of the league for a

2721
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,160
Speaker 3: long time. So I say this as someone that's coming

2722
02:02:20,200 --> 02:02:23,600
Speaker 3: in with the mindset of a supporter. It is absolutely

2723
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:27,200
Speaker 3: ignorant to have put Game five of your final the

2724
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:29,600
Speaker 3: last game. You know, the two best words in sports,

2725
02:02:29,600 --> 02:02:32,440
Speaker 3: Game five apparently in the W but for the last time.

2726
02:02:32,520 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 3: The Championship Round will be five games. Game five is tonight,

2727
02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:39,520
Speaker 3: And I don't I just don't know how the league

2728
02:02:39,760 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 3: could look at the schedule, the calendar, everything that we

2729
02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:45,640
Speaker 3: already knew was possibly going to be here, and say,

2730
02:02:45,640 --> 02:02:48,200
Speaker 3: you know what's a smart thing, Let's go ahead and

2731
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 3: put the clinching game the best night in our sport

2732
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 3: for the entire season, against Sunday night football. Let's go

2733
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,080
Speaker 3: ahead and do that in the middle of all of

2734
02:02:56,120 --> 02:02:59,360
Speaker 3: this chaos. Like, I just cannot understand how, with all

2735
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:01,760
Speaker 3: the options we are forced to sit here and decide

2736
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 3: between Maybe they couldn't anticipate some of the baseball calendar maybe,

2737
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:08,600
Speaker 3: but my god, how you didn't put these games on

2738
02:03:08,640 --> 02:03:10,720
Speaker 3: a Tuesday or Wednesday when you knew that you were

2739
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 3: out of the way of everything else was already asinine

2740
02:03:13,800 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 3: to have this series end tonight in a way that

2741
02:03:16,480 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 3: is just going to be scratching and clawing for viewers.

2742
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 3: It'll get fine numbers, but the opportunity for growth just

2743
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 3: wasn't capitalized on. Shame on the WNBA for wasting this.

2744
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:29,840
Speaker 4: Now, on the plus side, it is actually on the

2745
02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 4: big four letter, right, it is actually on ESPN as

2746
02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:39,440
Speaker 4: opposed to where it's been at times buried as well. Yeah, right,

2747
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:42,840
Speaker 4: where you've had to look and look with all the partners,

2748
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 4: with as much information free flowing as we have. Now,

2749
02:03:46,880 --> 02:03:49,360
Speaker 4: if you say I can't find it, then you're really

2750
02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:52,920
Speaker 4: just not trying much like finding something that you want

2751
02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 4: to watch. Just give it the old college effort. It'll

2752
02:03:56,680 --> 02:03:59,400
Speaker 4: show up on your app. Right, just say I'm interested

2753
02:03:59,440 --> 02:04:02,080
Speaker 4: in this stuff. It'll set a reminder. Trust me, I

2754
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 4: did that for one thing with the ESPN app, and

2755
02:04:05,440 --> 02:04:09,520
Speaker 4: now I'm advised about anything that happens to where it's

2756
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:11,560
Speaker 4: the middle of the night and things are bleeping, I'm like,

2757
02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 4: I don't care about that news update, but I appreciate

2758
02:04:14,480 --> 02:04:17,280
Speaker 4: that you thought on money. Thank you. It's like another

2759
02:04:17,320 --> 02:04:21,080
Speaker 4: alarm going off as hey, reminder, this guy may or

2760
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:23,240
Speaker 4: may not play. I'm like, no, that's not an update,

2761
02:04:23,880 --> 02:04:26,080
Speaker 4: but you've hit push. What am I gonna do? Liberty

2762
02:04:26,120 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 4: five and a half point favorites the over one hundred

2763
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:31,080
Speaker 4: and fifty six point five in this one money line

2764
02:04:31,160 --> 02:04:32,480
Speaker 4: links plus Doe twenty.

2765
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:35,920
Speaker 3: This series has been by the way, I can't believe everybody.

2766
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:38,280
Speaker 3: Calm down, everybody. We'll get back to football in a second.

2767
02:04:38,360 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 3: This series has been absolutely incredible. It's been up and

2768
02:04:42,280 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 3: the other part of it is thank god, you know.

2769
02:04:44,920 --> 02:04:48,040
Speaker 3: And I had some hanging out with some friends watching

2770
02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 3: the last game, and I said this earlier, like there

2771
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:52,760
Speaker 3: was this great decision for the friend group unt where

2772
02:04:52,760 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna watch baseball that some people want to watch

2773
02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:56,920
Speaker 3: the w We were going back and forth. We only

2774
02:04:56,920 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 3: had one TV available. We were trying to figure it out.

2775
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:01,760
Speaker 3: But it it's funny to me that Mike, my god,

2776
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 3: thank god they didn't have Caitlin in the finals, because

2777
02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 3: we all know the numbers would be even bigger. But

2778
02:05:06,200 --> 02:05:09,200
Speaker 3: you've got you've got a matchup here that's been really riveting.

2779
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 3: And while they'll they'll tie out the record numbers for

2780
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 3: the w NB Finals every time they do it, I

2781
02:05:14,560 --> 02:05:16,120
Speaker 3: just throw up in my mouth a little bit at

2782
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,960
Speaker 3: what it could have been if they had properly scheduled

2783
02:05:18,960 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 3: these games. Again, shame on everybody.

2784
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:24,000
Speaker 4: Well, you're just trying to figure out window and certainly

2785
02:05:24,120 --> 02:05:30,520
Speaker 4: Sunday against the big time proponents. You know here that

2786
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,880
Speaker 4: we have the brands in the NFL. It's it's not

2787
02:05:32,920 --> 02:05:35,560
Speaker 4: gonna work. But yeah, the chaos theory of what would

2788
02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:38,840
Speaker 4: have happened had the Indiana Fever still been playing, I'd

2789
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 4: be curious to see what that number might have been

2790
02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:46,160
Speaker 4: against an NFL game and an n NLCS on Fox

2791
02:05:46,680 --> 02:05:51,560
Speaker 4: game six Los Angeles and New York. I'm intrigued. I'm

2792
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:54,680
Speaker 4: intrigued astel as to whatever this pulls. But to your point,

2793
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 4: it's been a fantastic series. A lot of arguing about

2794
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:01,480
Speaker 4: the referees, some calls made. I'm not I'd ask you

2795
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 4: looking for the I'm truly a superstar call. Despite an

2796
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:08,400
Speaker 4: obvious fall in the final two seconds of Game four,

2797
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:13,080
Speaker 4: send to the line, although she gave us six excitement

2798
02:06:13,320 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 4: with that last second heave that goes off the backboard,

2799
02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:20,640
Speaker 4: falling harmlessly to the ground. But there you have it.

2800
02:06:20,640 --> 02:06:23,040
Speaker 4: We've got a game five later on to add to

2801
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 4: your Sports morgasboard. Just keep adding more devices to your network.

2802
02:06:28,040 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 4: Before it's all said and done, you'll look like you're

2803
02:06:30,840 --> 02:06:34,200
Speaker 4: tracking Santa for nor Ad with the number of monitors

2804
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:37,000
Speaker 4: you have going their fits. This game coming up in

2805
02:06:37,040 --> 02:06:40,120
Speaker 4: twenty minutes, Bill Belichick decided he needed to chime in.

2806
02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:43,760
Speaker 4: He was on the Let's Go podcast talking about Doug

2807
02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 4: Peterson's reflections on his time there with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

2808
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:51,360
Speaker 4: We know he may be the next man walking the plank.

2809
02:06:52,160 --> 02:06:55,760
Speaker 4: It's a short list. Dennis Allen after the shellacking he

2810
02:06:55,840 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 4: took from a really not very good Broncos team. Now

2811
02:07:00,560 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 4: they're hurt.

2812
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:01,640
Speaker 3: I get it.

2813
02:07:01,720 --> 02:07:06,360
Speaker 4: Injuries happen. There was lack of effort. It seemed down time.

2814
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,600
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that alone. Richard Sherman and a

2815
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,280
Speaker 4: bunch of x NFL athletes put it up there, so

2816
02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,800
Speaker 4: I'll uh, I'll say, all right, that's what it looked

2817
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:18,760
Speaker 4: like to my you know, Novice and you know, just

2818
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:22,360
Speaker 4: radio host I in terms of what the Saints put.

2819
02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:26,959
Speaker 4: But for Peterson, he made a thing about a culture

2820
02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:30,520
Speaker 4: change being needed, to which Belichick responded this, I'm not

2821
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:32,800
Speaker 4: sure what he meant by that. Maybe that's a change

2822
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:35,200
Speaker 4: in prep or practice or I'm not sure, but I

2823
02:07:35,280 --> 02:07:37,240
Speaker 4: kind of like to know what he wants, what he means.

2824
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:40,560
Speaker 4: It's not his first year. This is what they've established,

2825
02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 4: so I'm not sure what that means. But clearly things

2826
02:07:42,840 --> 02:07:45,320
Speaker 4: aren't going well. They need something to be more competitive,

2827
02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:48,120
Speaker 4: and he keeps going on from there. Last week they

2828
02:07:48,160 --> 02:07:52,400
Speaker 4: had four would be touchdowns against the Bears, dropped much

2829
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 4: different game if Gave Davis comes down with that one early. Instead,

2830
02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 4: they're chasing, and that defense, which is suspect, got absolutely

2831
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:05,360
Speaker 4: picked apart by Waldron, Caleb Williams and the Bears offense.

2832
02:08:05,720 --> 02:08:08,720
Speaker 4: And now you have this next test against Drake May

2833
02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:12,440
Speaker 4: who showed he's he's willing to keep firing behind a

2834
02:08:12,480 --> 02:08:14,880
Speaker 4: bad offensive line, as we outlined a little bit earlier,

2835
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 4: with the number of combos that run it out there, Jason,

2836
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 4: but you know, opportunity here for the final straw for

2837
02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:22,879
Speaker 4: shot gone.

2838
02:08:23,520 --> 02:08:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's funny to me because Belichick saying, hey,

2839
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 3: it's not your first year, so I'll go back to

2840
02:08:29,360 --> 02:08:31,160
Speaker 3: you know, Kenny Rogers, the great Kenny.

2841
02:08:30,920 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 4: Rodgers' nicely done whenever you can.

2842
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, See, he's the most one of the most

2843
02:08:35,400 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 3: incredible people I ever had the chance to be on

2844
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 3: a tour with. And it was years ago with the

2845
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:42,240
Speaker 3: man that Never made it, and we opened for Kenny

2846
02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:44,560
Speaker 3: for a while and Kenny was amazing. But one thing

2847
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:46,840
Speaker 3: Kenny always said that I thought, you know, we always

2848
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 3: hear perception is reality, but Kenny took it a step farther.

2849
02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:53,440
Speaker 3: He always used to say, perceptions the only reality that matters,

2850
02:08:53,520 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 3: because you helped create whatever that perception is, and now

2851
02:08:56,760 --> 02:08:59,280
Speaker 3: you have to live in it. And I think about

2852
02:08:59,320 --> 02:09:01,440
Speaker 3: that a lot when we, you know, take the extra

2853
02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:03,760
Speaker 3: step of saying, whatever it is right now, I helped

2854
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 3: create whatever the culture problem is that they need to fix.

2855
02:09:07,920 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 3: Doug Peterson was part of creating. At this point, like

2856
02:09:10,440 --> 02:09:12,680
Speaker 3: he's been there long enough that this is his culture.

2857
02:09:12,720 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 4: Well, this is an urban Meyer's tenure anymore, that's long

2858
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:17,720
Speaker 4: in theory been destroyed.

2859
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 3: He's had the opportunity. And we always hear that for coaches,

2860
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:23,080
Speaker 3: like day one, it's like we're gonna, you know, the

2861
02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:25,200
Speaker 3: first time the next time we hear a coach say

2862
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:28,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna be soft and we're barely gonna score. Will

2863
02:09:28,200 --> 02:09:29,760
Speaker 3: be the first time. It's always like, we're gonna play

2864
02:09:29,760 --> 02:09:31,800
Speaker 3: tough football, and you know, we're going to control the

2865
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, We're gonna come every day to work.

2866
02:09:33,760 --> 02:09:36,480
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, all these football isms, but the fact

2867
02:09:36,560 --> 02:09:39,800
Speaker 3: is the Jags are broken, and I think an owner

2868
02:09:39,880 --> 02:09:42,640
Speaker 3: that was probably more invested, more involved day in and

2869
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:45,080
Speaker 3: day out, would have already seen that they're broken. I'm

2870
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:47,960
Speaker 3: a little surprised that Peterson still has a job, and

2871
02:09:48,240 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that they've managed to wreck Trevor Lawrence because

2872
02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:52,800
Speaker 3: I don't feel like he's any good at this point.

2873
02:09:52,840 --> 02:09:56,000
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm looking at the Patriots thinking, man,

2874
02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,440
Speaker 3: this is a great opportunity. Drake may played well enough.

2875
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:01,920
Speaker 3: I don't love the Patriots, but I hate the Jags

2876
02:10:01,920 --> 02:10:05,080
Speaker 3: defense At this point. I absolutely do not like anything

2877
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:08,600
Speaker 3: about the Jabs Jags defensively and then offensively, I don't.

2878
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 3: I just don't trust him. So the Jags are completely

2879
02:10:12,120 --> 02:10:15,560
Speaker 3: broken and now they're looking at a restart all over again.

2880
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:18,440
Speaker 3: I just this is this is painful for Jags fans

2881
02:10:18,480 --> 02:10:21,760
Speaker 3: because they're already even when they're good. The Jags teeter

2882
02:10:21,920 --> 02:10:24,480
Speaker 3: on the the just the outskirts of being irrelevant in

2883
02:10:24,520 --> 02:10:27,680
Speaker 3: the national conversation. When they're bad, it's just even worse.

2884
02:10:28,240 --> 02:10:30,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, was looking for a rebound right because they got

2885
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:34,360
Speaker 4: off the hook last year because the Eagles collapse was

2886
02:10:34,400 --> 02:10:38,880
Speaker 4: so bad. So since the Jaguars we talked about it

2887
02:10:38,920 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 4: a bunch. I'm not sure how much else nationally it

2888
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,560
Speaker 4: really rated, because look, people don't want to admit that

2889
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:48,280
Speaker 4: they might have been wrong about you know, generational, generational.

2890
02:10:48,320 --> 02:10:52,000
Speaker 4: We can't have a generational quarterback every year. We need

2891
02:10:52,040 --> 02:10:54,840
Speaker 4: to stop that nonsense. I get it, they're the next

2892
02:10:54,840 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 4: guy up. But for Trevor Lawrence, his accuracy has been bad.

2893
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 4: Last last week finally really good. And guess what receivers

2894
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 4: weren't expecting it to the two and four drop touchdown passes,

2895
02:11:07,080 --> 02:11:10,600
Speaker 4: which means they're not great either. But all that to say,

2896
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:14,120
Speaker 4: you've got a squad how many defensive players. I've never

2897
02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:16,320
Speaker 4: seen so many guys get in front of a microphone

2898
02:11:16,320 --> 02:11:19,160
Speaker 4: to talk about their lack of effort in a game.

2899
02:11:19,800 --> 02:11:22,560
Speaker 4: They couldn't wait to get to the beat reporters that

2900
02:11:22,600 --> 02:11:26,080
Speaker 4: were overseas to talk about how bad things were, so

2901
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:28,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if that spurs them to some grand

2902
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:31,120
Speaker 4: effort this week, because if it does, it would be

2903
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:34,760
Speaker 4: the first time in seven weeks that we see it, right,

2904
02:11:34,800 --> 02:11:37,920
Speaker 4: because their defensive line hasn't given them any kind of

2905
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 4: pressure to work with and against a new England offensive

2906
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:44,280
Speaker 4: line that's been a turnstile. He say, all right, this

2907
02:11:44,320 --> 02:11:48,240
Speaker 4: is the opportunity, but I need to see it in practice, right,

2908
02:11:48,400 --> 02:11:50,680
Speaker 4: I need to see it, you know, the proof on

2909
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:53,720
Speaker 4: the field that that can actually happen to save their secondary.

2910
02:11:53,880 --> 02:11:55,760
Speaker 4: And I don't see it. I think to Mario Douglas

2911
02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 4: is gonna have himself a day, Fantasy owners. I think

2912
02:11:58,600 --> 02:12:02,320
Speaker 4: Hunter Henry is gonna have himself a day. Antonio Gibson,

2913
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:05,160
Speaker 4: because he hangs on to the football, we'll have himself

2914
02:12:05,160 --> 02:12:07,800
Speaker 4: a day. Sorry, Remondre Stevenson owners, I had to do

2915
02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:08,200
Speaker 4: with time.

2916
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, as a Romondra Stevens said, all right, I

2917
02:12:11,240 --> 02:12:14,560
Speaker 3: really appreciate that you're right about everything you said. And

2918
02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:18,200
Speaker 3: by the way, I it God, it just it makes

2919
02:12:18,240 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 3: me just so angry when players come out afterwards and

2920
02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:23,120
Speaker 3: it's like, well, you know, the effort just wasn't there.

2921
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:26,240
Speaker 4: Why why you saw it going south? How did you

2922
02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 4: not stop the slide?

2923
02:12:28,040 --> 02:12:30,440
Speaker 3: At what point did you not say all week? Hey, guys,

2924
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:32,480
Speaker 3: it's just not You know, how often do we see, well,

2925
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:34,480
Speaker 3: we just weren't charged up enough this week, and you know,

2926
02:12:34,520 --> 02:12:36,600
Speaker 3: guys weren't hitting the way we need to. We need

2927
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:38,760
Speaker 3: to really kick it in gear next week. The season

2928
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:42,360
Speaker 3: is so limited, you have so few games. I understand.

2929
02:12:42,600 --> 02:12:46,520
Speaker 3: I genuinely do a baseball game or an NBA game,

2930
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:49,160
Speaker 3: or a hockey game, like if you if you come

2931
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:51,680
Speaker 3: into one of those other sports, it's a marathon and

2932
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:54,240
Speaker 3: you say, man, the guys just didn't have it last night. Okay,

2933
02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:56,120
Speaker 3: there's one hundred and sixty of these things. Of course

2934
02:12:56,160 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 3: they didn't have it that night. There are only seventeen

2935
02:12:58,640 --> 02:13:01,360
Speaker 3: opportunities to stand on a field like you. Just I

2936
02:13:01,400 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 3: don't understand in the NFL, particularly just that day, where

2937
02:13:05,440 --> 02:13:08,680
Speaker 3: it's like, man, we got out efforted today. That's the controllable.

2938
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 3: The one thing you can control is are you working

2939
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:13,600
Speaker 3: your ass off every single day to be the like?

2940
02:13:13,680 --> 02:13:15,480
Speaker 3: Are you bringing your best every day? And if the

2941
02:13:15,520 --> 02:13:18,240
Speaker 3: answer is no, in a football season that is far

2942
02:13:18,320 --> 02:13:21,280
Speaker 3: shorter than other major sports, that just drives me crazy.

2943
02:13:21,360 --> 02:13:23,680
Speaker 3: And you don't get to tell me on Monday that

2944
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:25,720
Speaker 3: the effort wasn't good on Sunday and then have me

2945
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:27,720
Speaker 3: buy that it's going to be fixed next week. If

2946
02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 3: you felt that, there should have been a man in

2947
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:32,200
Speaker 3: the room, an adult in the room somewhere that stands

2948
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:34,040
Speaker 3: up and says, guys, we don't have it this week,

2949
02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:36,120
Speaker 3: fix it. We need to have it right now. And

2950
02:13:36,200 --> 02:13:38,040
Speaker 3: the fact that you tell me that afterwards, you don't

2951
02:13:38,080 --> 02:13:40,200
Speaker 3: get to interrears, tell me that suddenly we're going to

2952
02:13:40,240 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 3: bring the effort next week without telling me why you

2953
02:13:42,280 --> 02:13:43,280
Speaker 3: didn't last week.

2954
02:13:43,600 --> 02:13:45,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't get to hang around in the National

2955
02:13:45,480 --> 02:13:48,080
Speaker 4: Football League, right. The joke is always the not for

2956
02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 4: long efforts. The one thing that if that suddenly is

2957
02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:55,600
Speaker 4: the thing that you're being questioned on in your seventeen

2958
02:13:55,720 --> 02:13:58,880
Speaker 4: game tryout for the thirty two teams, including the one

2959
02:13:58,880 --> 02:14:02,840
Speaker 4: that you're on. Yeah, you're probably gonna find yourself working

2960
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:06,400
Speaker 4: in another job pretty fast, because that's just not gonna

2961
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:08,839
Speaker 4: play at Jason Fitz where you find him in the twitterverse,

2962
02:14:08,920 --> 02:14:12,000
Speaker 4: find me over at Swollen Dome. As we continue, we

2963
02:14:12,080 --> 02:14:15,000
Speaker 4: got countdown to kickoff here coming up in forty five minutes.

2964

Speaker 4: Presented by bet MGM so all the live in game

2965
02:14:18,040 --> 02:14:20,840
Speaker 4: betting for this one and the full slate ahead. But

2966
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:23,440
Speaker 4: we've got the rest of the NFL slate that we

2967
02:14:23,480 --> 02:14:26,520
Speaker 4: want to get to a little bit. Tua returning to

2968
02:14:26,640 --> 02:14:31,160
Speaker 4: practice perhaps this week, and more quarterbacks shuffling trying to

2969
02:14:31,200 --> 02:14:34,440
Speaker 4: find the magical elixir. As we roll through, we'll talk

2970
02:14:34,480 --> 02:14:37,080
Speaker 4: about that and the trades that went down this week,

2971
02:14:37,200 --> 02:14:39,400
Speaker 4: how big an impact they'll have. All that and more

02:16:08,640 --> 02:16:10,520
Speaker 3: Are we are we making cards from scratch?

3003
02:16:10,600 --> 02:16:11,560
Speaker 4: Like, no, that's what we do.

3004
02:16:11,680 --> 02:16:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna be honest with you. You know,

3005
02:16:14,680 --> 02:16:17,520
Speaker 3: when I was a kid. I think it was sixth grade.

3006
02:16:17,560 --> 02:16:19,920
Speaker 3: I'd already played Carnegie Hall, I'd already gotten into Juliart

3007
02:16:20,280 --> 02:16:22,320
Speaker 3: child producty. Let's just humble bag for a second. There

3008
02:16:22,320 --> 02:16:24,480
Speaker 3: you go. But I would to take a I was

3009
02:16:24,520 --> 02:16:26,760
Speaker 3: taken a public, you know, public school. Also at the

3010
02:16:26,760 --> 02:16:30,160
Speaker 3: same time, I was taking a like a music class,

3011
02:16:30,200 --> 02:16:32,840
Speaker 3: and I got docked on the grade and my mom

3012
02:16:32,879 --> 02:16:34,640
Speaker 3: went in for the parent teacher conference to figure out

3013
02:16:34,640 --> 02:16:36,560
Speaker 3: why I was doing so poorly in it. And just

3014
02:16:36,560 --> 02:16:38,760
Speaker 3: because they did these composer series and part of it

3015
02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:41,200
Speaker 3: was like arts, you had to like color in these

3016
02:16:41,280 --> 02:16:43,680
Speaker 3: pictures of different composers, and I can't color in the lines.

3017
02:16:43,720 --> 02:16:45,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't as a kid. I still can't. Like I

3018
02:16:45,680 --> 02:16:47,800
Speaker 3: just I'm not good at this. I like coloring is

3019
02:16:47,840 --> 02:16:50,040
Speaker 3: bad for me. So if I made you a card

3020
02:16:50,040 --> 02:16:52,039
Speaker 3: and I had to color with crowns, I'm gonna be honest,

3021
02:16:52,240 --> 02:16:53,720
Speaker 3: you would look at it and think that I had,

3022
02:16:53,760 --> 02:16:57,279
Speaker 3: like a child do it that wasn't particularly artistically inclined.

3023
02:16:57,280 --> 02:16:59,959
Speaker 3: So does it still? Do I still get any street

3024
02:17:00,080 --> 02:17:02,199
Speaker 3: credit if I send you a card that I've colored

3025
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:04,440
Speaker 3: by hand and it looks like a you know, a

3026
02:17:04,600 --> 02:17:05,959
Speaker 3: not so talented child did it.

3027
02:17:06,160 --> 02:17:09,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you've been into plenty of museums through your travels.

3028
02:17:09,720 --> 02:17:13,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure you know when you're on tour especially No,

3029
02:17:13,840 --> 02:17:15,400
Speaker 4: but that's the point is that you look on the

3030
02:17:15,400 --> 02:17:17,760
Speaker 4: walls and you just go nah. But it's the thought

3031
02:17:17,800 --> 02:17:19,800
Speaker 4: that counts. Remember that people will take it. I don't

3032
02:17:19,840 --> 02:17:20,879
Speaker 4: know if that's rue or not.

3033
02:17:21,800 --> 02:17:24,600
Speaker 3: They'll they'll be like, oh, this is amazing. He's creating

3034
02:17:24,640 --> 02:17:27,200
Speaker 3: weird visual art and it's like, no, I just can't color.

3035
02:17:27,560 --> 02:17:29,959
Speaker 3: This is amazing. Actually, now you're talking me into it.

3036
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:33,240
Speaker 4: I was blessed. My kids are both lean that way.

3037
02:17:33,440 --> 02:17:36,080
Speaker 4: I mean, they're more science kids as they've gotten older,

3038
02:17:36,480 --> 02:17:39,200
Speaker 4: but they they leaned into the art projects and I

3039
02:17:39,280 --> 02:17:41,400
Speaker 4: helped lead a lot of them at their school. So

3040
02:17:41,480 --> 02:17:44,959
Speaker 4: I actually have tubs of their artwork that when they

3041
02:17:44,959 --> 02:17:48,560
Speaker 4: actually do something substantive in the world, I'm ready. Here's

3042
02:17:48,600 --> 02:17:51,880
Speaker 4: the first picture ever signed by my younger one when

3043
02:17:51,879 --> 02:17:53,680
Speaker 4: she was four. Who wants it top bitter?

3044
02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:57,760
Speaker 3: Let's go look at that's actually smart? Like, instead of

3045
02:17:57,800 --> 02:18:00,680
Speaker 3: collecting toys, I'm the worst because I do. I love me.

3046
02:18:00,840 --> 02:18:03,800
Speaker 3: I love like, you know, vintage toys, like eighties toys

3047
02:18:03,800 --> 02:18:05,640
Speaker 3: that I grew up with, and like funk O pops

3048
02:18:05,640 --> 02:18:08,080
Speaker 3: and everything. I love toys because like we grew up with,

3049
02:18:08,160 --> 02:18:10,800
Speaker 3: I grew up with nothing, so we couldn't really afford toys.

3050
02:18:10,840 --> 02:18:12,640
Speaker 3: So like now as an adult, I have them everywhere.

3051
02:18:12,680 --> 02:18:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking at a bookshelf across from me in the studio,

3052
02:18:15,200 --> 02:18:17,360
Speaker 3: I do the show and it's filled with he Man

3053
02:18:17,400 --> 02:18:19,800
Speaker 3: and WWE figures from when I was a kid, and

3054
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:21,480
Speaker 3: like aw A figures.

3055
02:18:21,200 --> 02:18:25,600
Speaker 4: All sorts of stuff, the A w A remcos Oh yeah, man,

3056
02:18:26,640 --> 02:18:30,400
Speaker 4: do you have the wood ring? Because WWE they had

3057
02:18:30,400 --> 02:18:33,800
Speaker 4: the plastic ring. The aw A one was actually a

3058
02:18:33,920 --> 02:18:36,920
Speaker 4: block of wood and it was great where they were

3059
02:18:37,120 --> 02:18:39,560
Speaker 4: stomping as you were like, yeah, it was the best.

3060
02:18:40,040 --> 02:18:42,720
Speaker 3: But the funny, you know, I'm cheap, so like you know,

3061
02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:45,160
Speaker 3: the for example, everybody and we talk about this all

3062
02:18:45,160 --> 02:18:46,920
Speaker 3: the time, but my love of what was then the

3063
02:18:46,959 --> 02:18:51,520
Speaker 3: midnight Rockers, the Remco aw A Midnight Rockers are wildly

3064
02:18:51,600 --> 02:18:54,360
Speaker 3: expensive on eBay, so I just I had somebody go

3065
02:18:54,400 --> 02:18:57,400
Speaker 3: out and do custom knockoffs. It don't cost me a

3066
02:18:57,480 --> 02:18:59,200
Speaker 3: fraction of the cost and they look the same, so

3067
02:18:59,400 --> 02:19:01,080
Speaker 3: you know, I custom knock off. But that's what makes

3068
02:19:01,120 --> 02:19:03,279
Speaker 3: me the worst with all these things like you're holding

3069
02:19:03,400 --> 02:19:06,320
Speaker 3: artwork for value. I was at a at a comic

3070
02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:09,160
Speaker 3: con a few years ago and there was a limited

3071
02:19:09,280 --> 02:19:12,480
Speaker 3: edition like Transformers thing that was made and I really

3072
02:19:12,560 --> 02:19:14,440
Speaker 3: liked it, and I bought it and I loved it,

3073
02:19:14,480 --> 02:19:16,440
Speaker 3: and it wasn't like that expensive, but I loved it.

3074
02:19:16,440 --> 02:19:18,600
Speaker 3: And the first thing I did in the booth is

3075
02:19:18,640 --> 02:19:20,560
Speaker 3: I ripped it out of the box like the child

3076
02:19:20,600 --> 02:19:23,720
Speaker 3: I am, and I just looked at the figure, and

3077
02:19:23,760 --> 02:19:26,080
Speaker 3: I looked around and everybody was looking at me with

3078
02:19:26,160 --> 02:19:28,480
Speaker 3: horror on their faces because I had just ripped it

3079
02:19:28,480 --> 02:19:29,680
Speaker 3: out of the box, and I looked at all of

3080
02:19:29,720 --> 02:19:31,640
Speaker 3: them like, y'all, I'm not going to keep this on

3081
02:19:31,680 --> 02:19:33,640
Speaker 3: a shelf, like when I buy toys. I buy toys

3082
02:19:33,640 --> 02:19:34,040
Speaker 3: to play with.

3083
02:19:34,120 --> 02:19:35,920
Speaker 4: Well, but then there was one guy over on the

3084
02:19:35,920 --> 02:19:38,520
Speaker 4: side going, there's one fewer on open copy.

3085
02:19:38,640 --> 02:19:38,800
Speaker 3: Mike.

3086
02:19:38,959 --> 02:19:40,199
Speaker 4: Price just goes.

3087
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:43,160
Speaker 3: Up, yeah, like and then everybody sits there and says,

3088
02:19:43,160 --> 02:19:44,920
Speaker 3: if I had just kept the toys from when I

3089
02:19:44,959 --> 02:19:46,440
Speaker 3: was a child, I'd be rich now. And it's like,

3090
02:19:46,480 --> 02:19:48,959
Speaker 3: who does that? Who? What are you gonna buy two

3091
02:19:49,040 --> 02:19:50,720
Speaker 3: of everything and then keep one in the box for

3092
02:19:50,720 --> 02:19:52,480
Speaker 3: the rest of your life? Who has the storage space

3093
02:19:52,520 --> 02:19:52,760
Speaker 3: for that?

3094
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:55,840
Speaker 4: That's not insterstic. Yeah, I've got all the mountains of

3095
02:19:55,840 --> 02:19:58,280
Speaker 4: baseball and football cards. We'll be dealing with those a

3096
02:19:58,320 --> 02:20:00,760
Speaker 4: little bit later as I watch the games of the

3097
02:20:00,800 --> 02:20:04,480
Speaker 4: day and the heroes of today unfold. And well, we've

3098
02:20:04,520 --> 02:20:08,400
Speaker 4: got the national anthem being sung. So our football day

3099
02:20:08,440 --> 02:20:12,080
Speaker 4: has now started, Jason Fitz. So we're underway. Chris perfetten

3100
02:20:12,200 --> 02:20:16,240
Speaker 4: Is update earlier today. Gave us the note and I

3101
02:20:16,240 --> 02:20:19,080
Speaker 4: saw it on the overnight, the Tu Tongue of Iloa

3102
02:20:19,240 --> 02:20:24,040
Speaker 4: practice window opening, and now everybody will start doing the

3103
02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:27,120
Speaker 4: handwringing of whether he should come back at all, to

3104
02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:30,080
Speaker 4: which I say, he's a grown ass man. If he

3105
02:20:30,120 --> 02:20:32,720
Speaker 4: and his doctors have decided he's ready to return to

3106
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:37,680
Speaker 4: a practice field and ultimately onto a game game field

3107
02:20:37,840 --> 02:20:40,320
Speaker 4: on a Sunday, on a Monday, on a Thursday, whatever

3108
02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:44,640
Speaker 4: day they're playing, that it's his decision to roll through.

3109
02:20:45,040 --> 02:20:49,080
Speaker 4: I'll root for it, because look, comebacks or what we

3110
02:20:49,200 --> 02:20:52,400
Speaker 4: root for in society, particularly with some of the injuries

3111
02:20:52,400 --> 02:20:55,440
Speaker 4: that we've seen, because remember a lot of what we

3112
02:20:55,560 --> 02:20:58,560
Speaker 4: don't there's a lot we don't know about what players

3113
02:20:58,560 --> 02:21:00,880
Speaker 4: have done to their bodies and what they've been through,

3114
02:21:01,160 --> 02:21:05,800
Speaker 4: what's been diagnosed what's not And for Tua, he's been

3115
02:21:06,120 --> 02:21:08,760
Speaker 4: unfortunately the poster child of this because he's had two

3116
02:21:09,040 --> 02:21:15,640
Speaker 4: very big traumatic instances on national prime time event based

3117
02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:21,080
Speaker 4: watching kind of standalone games. So you root forward in

3118
02:21:21,120 --> 02:21:24,360
Speaker 4: that respect for the guy to do what he loves.

3119
02:21:24,720 --> 02:21:26,879
Speaker 4: So long is it, you know, the informed choice of

3120
02:21:26,879 --> 02:21:30,400
Speaker 4: it all. But from Miami, man, we take it back

3121
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:32,600
Speaker 4: to the brass tacks of football. I mean, that's the

3122
02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:36,320
Speaker 4: only way you're gonna get any return, fantasy or otherwise

3123
02:21:36,400 --> 02:21:38,680
Speaker 4: out of the offense that you've built, because right now

3124
02:21:38,720 --> 02:21:40,400
Speaker 4: that is a broken ship.

3125
02:21:41,560 --> 02:21:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, everything you just said is

3126
02:21:44,040 --> 02:21:45,920
Speaker 3: one of the million reasons I love working with you.

3127
02:21:46,920 --> 02:21:49,360
Speaker 3: We see this so similarly in the sense that I

3128
02:21:49,360 --> 02:21:51,400
Speaker 3: had the chance to talk to Talia to his brother

3129
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:54,760
Speaker 3: a while back, and in the process to talk to him,

3130
02:21:54,760 --> 02:21:57,320
Speaker 3: asked about, you know, how he feels him playing football

3131
02:21:57,360 --> 02:21:59,440
Speaker 3: and knowing the concussion issues his brother has and all

3132
02:21:59,440 --> 02:22:02,560
Speaker 3: that stuff. And he made it so clear that Tua

3133
02:22:03,240 --> 02:22:06,160
Speaker 3: talks to his doctors, talks to his family, they make

3134
02:22:06,200 --> 02:22:09,000
Speaker 3: a decision together based on the medical information they have

3135
02:22:09,120 --> 02:22:11,840
Speaker 3: on what they're comfortable with. And it's wild to me

3136
02:22:12,120 --> 02:22:14,600
Speaker 3: how many people have been screaming and yelling, fans and

3137
02:22:14,720 --> 02:22:17,959
Speaker 3: media and everybody along the way, screaming and yelling about

3138
02:22:17,959 --> 02:22:20,320
Speaker 3: what a grown ass man should do. Like it is

3139
02:22:20,360 --> 02:22:24,360
Speaker 3: his head, it's his brain, it's his health, and most importantly,

3140
02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:27,119
Speaker 3: like everybody has a different reaction. I think about I've

3141
02:22:27,160 --> 02:22:29,160
Speaker 3: got a friend who every time he stubs his toe,

3142
02:22:29,200 --> 02:22:31,400
Speaker 3: you would think it's Peter Griffin, and it's just the

3143
02:22:31,520 --> 02:22:35,680
Speaker 3: biggest thing in the entire world. I accidentally, during my

3144
02:22:35,680 --> 02:22:38,400
Speaker 3: fitness journey a couple of months ago, I dropped a

3145
02:22:38,440 --> 02:22:41,119
Speaker 3: weight on my big toe. It cracked and just annihilated

3146
02:22:41,160 --> 02:22:43,160
Speaker 3: my toenail. I didn't even notice it for a day.

3147
02:22:43,360 --> 02:22:45,360
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, that's broken off. That hurt.

3148
02:22:45,680 --> 02:22:49,480
Speaker 3: Like so we're all different in our visceral reactions to things.

3149
02:22:49,560 --> 02:22:55,040
Speaker 3: It is fully possible Tua has a big physical reaction

3150
02:22:55,160 --> 02:22:58,120
Speaker 3: to concussions that make it look really bad, But that

3151
02:22:58,120 --> 02:23:00,280
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that it's any worse than the offensive And

3152
02:23:00,320 --> 02:23:03,080
Speaker 3: we're not talking about that's had multiple concussions, right, Like,

3153
02:23:03,400 --> 02:23:06,080
Speaker 3: concussion protocol is handled very seriously by the league and

3154
02:23:06,160 --> 02:23:08,600
Speaker 3: very seriously by modern players. If he sits down with

3155
02:23:08,640 --> 02:23:11,360
Speaker 3: this doctor and the Dolphins sit down with their team doctor,

3156
02:23:11,400 --> 02:23:13,480
Speaker 3: and then Tuas sits down with this family, and the

3157
02:23:13,520 --> 02:23:15,960
Speaker 3: family doctor who's not affiliated with any of this, turns

3158
02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:18,640
Speaker 3: around and says, yeah, man, you're fine. If you want

3159
02:23:18,640 --> 02:23:20,560
Speaker 3: to play, keep playing. It's up to him. Even if

3160
02:23:20,560 --> 02:23:22,959
Speaker 3: the doctor says you're not fine, I wouldn't keep playing.

3161
02:23:23,040 --> 02:23:25,120
Speaker 3: It's up to him. He's a grown man that can

3162
02:23:25,160 --> 02:23:26,920
Speaker 3: make his own decisions. I don't know why all of

3163
02:23:26,959 --> 02:23:29,560
Speaker 3: us suddenly we think it's our right to even have

3164
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:32,040
Speaker 3: this conversation about what he should do. It is his

3165
02:23:32,160 --> 02:23:34,800
Speaker 3: right as a player to decide what he wants to do.

3166
02:23:35,080 --> 02:23:37,640
Speaker 3: And you're also right, the Dolphins don't stand a chance.

3167
02:23:37,680 --> 02:23:39,800
Speaker 3: They may not win another game this season without him.

3168
02:23:39,800 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 3: So if you're the Dolphins and you're stepping back saying

3169
02:23:42,520 --> 02:23:44,160
Speaker 3: hey to I'm not going to tell you what to

3170
02:23:44,200 --> 02:23:46,160
Speaker 3: do if you want to come back, I'm not gonna

3171
02:23:46,200 --> 02:23:48,920
Speaker 3: limit you, because if you're good with it, we need you.

3172
02:23:49,080 --> 02:23:51,160
Speaker 3: Like I think all of that can be okay.

3173
02:23:51,640 --> 02:23:54,360
Speaker 4: By the way, just the old thought, even going back

3174
02:23:54,400 --> 02:23:58,080
Speaker 4: to look, I stopped playing football pretty young, couple of injuries.

3175
02:23:59,160 --> 02:24:01,680
Speaker 4: I'm a fire plug. I'm five foot nothing with no

3176
02:24:01,760 --> 02:24:04,959
Speaker 4: foot speed, so I was done. But I realized at

3177
02:24:05,000 --> 02:24:07,920
Speaker 4: a very early age that banging my head against another

3178
02:24:08,000 --> 02:24:11,280
Speaker 4: person was not a good idea. So the idea that

3179
02:24:11,320 --> 02:24:15,480
Speaker 4: folks have been running around with, oh man, they had

3180
02:24:15,560 --> 02:24:18,280
Speaker 4: no idea this could be dangerous. Yeah, we might not

3181
02:24:18,320 --> 02:24:21,680
Speaker 4: have had something a term to call it. But I

3182
02:24:21,720 --> 02:24:26,080
Speaker 4: always thought that part of the argument was disingenuous, just like, hey, smoking,

3183
02:24:26,760 --> 02:24:29,959
Speaker 4: it's just fine for me. If I smoked several packs

3184
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:34,440
Speaker 4: a day, that'll be just great. Yeah, No, it's it

3185
02:24:34,640 --> 02:24:38,640
Speaker 4: just is incongruous to logical thinking that you know, there's

3186
02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,560
Speaker 4: not going to be some effects from the physicality of

3187
02:24:41,600 --> 02:24:41,960
Speaker 4: the game.

3188
02:24:42,400 --> 02:24:44,959
Speaker 3: I mean, there was a whole generation of athletes in

3189
02:24:45,040 --> 02:24:47,320
Speaker 3: every sport and we were just talking about wrestling, a

3190
02:24:47,320 --> 02:24:50,800
Speaker 3: whole generation of wrestlers that were just jabbing themselves with

3191
02:24:50,840 --> 02:24:53,280
Speaker 3: steroids constantly. I think they didn't know that there were

3192
02:24:53,320 --> 02:24:55,560
Speaker 3: probably long term effects. They don't care. There's a whole

3193
02:24:55,600 --> 02:24:58,640
Speaker 3: generation right now, like toward all is the painkiller that

3194
02:24:58,720 --> 02:25:01,240
Speaker 3: so many football players right now, and some choose not to.

3195
02:25:01,280 --> 02:25:03,600
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is when a player chooses not to,

3196
02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:05,680
Speaker 3: half the time, it's like, well he's got to toughen upe.

3197
02:25:05,760 --> 02:25:07,520
Speaker 3: Like fans will sit there and be like, what do

3198
02:25:07,560 --> 02:25:09,480
Speaker 3: you mean he's got a hamstring injury. And then the

3199
02:25:09,480 --> 02:25:11,120
Speaker 3: same fan will turn around and be like, oh, but

3200
02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:13,520
Speaker 3: it's brain, But it's brain, Like we pick and choose

3201
02:25:13,520 --> 02:25:14,879
Speaker 3: what we actually care about.

3202
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:16,840
Speaker 2: At selective outrage, baby.

3203
02:25:17,320 --> 02:25:20,080
Speaker 3: Like athletes are so informed at this point. They make

3204
02:25:20,160 --> 02:25:23,160
Speaker 3: so much money, they have doctors everywhere, They are informed

3205
02:25:23,160 --> 02:25:25,320
Speaker 3: on what they're doing. They choose to do what they do,

3206
02:25:25,920 --> 02:25:27,800
Speaker 3: and that's up to them. That's up to each and

3207
02:25:27,840 --> 02:25:29,879
Speaker 3: every one of them individually. I'm not here to judge

3208
02:25:29,879 --> 02:25:31,640
Speaker 3: it one way or the other. I just I just

3209
02:25:31,680 --> 02:25:33,960
Speaker 3: think it's stupid how much we suddenly sit here and

3210
02:25:34,040 --> 02:25:36,280
Speaker 3: pretend like they have no idea what's going on. I

3211
02:25:36,600 --> 02:25:39,560
Speaker 3: just we feel like we have to make these decisions

3212
02:25:39,560 --> 02:25:42,680
Speaker 3: for grown adults that are better informed that oftentimes no

3213
02:25:42,800 --> 02:25:44,960
Speaker 3: more than we'll ever they'll forget more than we'll ever

3214
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,240
Speaker 3: know about what they're going through. They didn't know exactly

3215
02:25:47,320 --> 02:25:49,120
Speaker 3: what they're doing and exactly how they're doing it.

3216
02:25:49,400 --> 02:25:51,680
Speaker 4: That sounded like an anti government ran, Oh see what

3217
02:25:51,720 --> 02:25:54,760
Speaker 4: I did there? No, I'm just kidding. As Jason fitz

3218
02:25:55,040 --> 02:25:58,400
Speaker 4: at Jason fits on Twitter find me over at Swollen Dome,

3219
02:25:58,560 --> 02:26:01,480
Speaker 4: you make your choices and you roll through. As in

3220
02:26:01,879 --> 02:26:04,840
Speaker 4: the career of a professional athlete pretty short. We always

3221
02:26:04,840 --> 02:26:07,560
Speaker 4: talk about it ripping the jersey off. Guys. The old

3222
02:26:07,760 --> 02:26:12,000
Speaker 4: retirement is very long. Retirement is very long. So guys

3223
02:26:12,000 --> 02:26:14,120
Speaker 4: are going to do everything they can to keep the

3224
02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:16,120
Speaker 4: jersey and helmet on as long as they can.

3225
02:26:17,120 --> 02:26:20,119
Speaker 3: I'll say this quickly too. A few years ago there

3226
02:26:20,120 --> 02:26:22,400
Speaker 3: was a study done the average life expectancy of a

3227
02:26:22,440 --> 02:26:25,560
Speaker 3: touring musician is actually lower than the average life expectancy

3228
02:26:25,560 --> 02:26:28,199
Speaker 3: of a former NFL player. Nobody ever sits there and says,

3229
02:26:28,240 --> 02:26:32,760
Speaker 3: man can't be a musician who but certainly drugs, alcohol, suicide,

3230
02:26:33,000 --> 02:26:35,519
Speaker 3: mental health, those are all things that have impacted and

3231
02:26:35,560 --> 02:26:38,360
Speaker 3: as you know, one of my very very dear friends

3232
02:26:38,800 --> 02:26:41,360
Speaker 3: that had tremendous success in the music business at the

3233
02:26:41,480 --> 02:26:44,240
Speaker 3: highest possible level at an early age, said, for a

3234
02:26:44,240 --> 02:26:46,640
Speaker 3: long time, everybody thinks, oh my god, I just want

3235
02:26:46,640 --> 02:26:48,760
Speaker 3: to be young and rich. What do you do when

3236
02:26:48,800 --> 02:26:51,440
Speaker 3: you're in your mid late twenties and you realize that

3237
02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:53,440
Speaker 3: your career, by no choice of your own, is now

3238
02:26:53,480 --> 02:26:55,959
Speaker 3: basically over. You have a lifetime worth the money, but

3239
02:26:56,000 --> 02:26:57,560
Speaker 3: you have no idea what to do with it. You

3240
02:26:57,600 --> 02:27:00,000
Speaker 3: have no idea what to do with your and everybody listening.

3241
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:02,160
Speaker 3: He says, I'd love to have that problem. Yeah, sure,

3242
02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:04,920
Speaker 3: cool until you're in it, and then suddenly you've gone

3243
02:27:04,959 --> 02:27:06,640
Speaker 3: from being in the top of the world to being

3244
02:27:06,840 --> 02:27:09,360
Speaker 3: irrelevant in so many ways. You have money, but you

3245
02:27:09,440 --> 02:27:11,400
Speaker 3: also like you got to figure out what you're doing

3246
02:27:11,440 --> 02:27:13,520
Speaker 3: with your time and with your life, and you've committed

3247
02:27:13,520 --> 02:27:15,240
Speaker 3: your whole life to doing this, and now it's been

3248
02:27:15,280 --> 02:27:17,200
Speaker 3: taken away from you and you no longer have value

3249
02:27:17,200 --> 02:27:19,520
Speaker 3: with the thing that you love. Everybody sits there and says,

3250
02:27:19,520 --> 02:27:21,520
Speaker 3: I'd love to know what that problem is that they wouldn't.

3251
02:27:21,760 --> 02:27:23,600
Speaker 3: It's just shoes. On the other foot, it's not the

3252
02:27:23,640 --> 02:27:26,480
Speaker 3: easy life that people think. It's you know, the grass

3253
02:27:26,560 --> 02:27:28,840
Speaker 3: always being greener. Hey, real quick, before we get over

3254
02:27:28,879 --> 02:27:31,120
Speaker 3: to Isaac Loancron a couple of trades. We talked a

3255
02:27:31,160 --> 02:27:34,879
Speaker 3: lot about the DeVante Adams deal to the Jets and

3256
02:27:34,920 --> 02:27:38,840
Speaker 3: trying to spark that squad hasan reddick now coming back

3257
02:27:38,920 --> 02:27:42,000
Speaker 3: to help on the defensive side, maybe surmount a little

3258
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:46,040
Speaker 3: more consistent pressure up front. But the Bills immediately counter

3259
02:27:46,400 --> 02:27:49,160
Speaker 3: in the East by going out and getting Amari Cooper,

3260
02:27:49,160 --> 02:27:52,120
Speaker 3: who'd been stranded on the island that is the world

3261
02:27:52,200 --> 02:27:57,960
Speaker 3: of Cleveland and the continued forcing force feeding, and Kevin Stefanski,

3262
02:27:58,000 --> 02:27:59,680
Speaker 3: the former Coach of the Year, is now I think

3263
02:28:00,280 --> 02:28:02,720
Speaker 3: favored to be fired. Although how do you fire a

3264
02:28:02,760 --> 02:28:05,440
Speaker 3: guy who you ordered the Code red and he's running

3265
02:28:05,440 --> 02:28:06,360
Speaker 3: the Code red? I e.

3266
02:28:06,800 --> 02:28:10,760
Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson gives us the best chance to win. Amari

3267
02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:14,160
Speaker 4: Cooper has been released from that purgatory and heads over

3268
02:28:14,200 --> 02:28:17,160
Speaker 4: to Buffalo. So the offense gets a true number one

3269
02:28:17,280 --> 02:28:22,200
Speaker 4: maybe the third down alongside the efficiency with Shakir. I'm

3270
02:28:22,240 --> 02:28:25,240
Speaker 4: curious to see what Brady and Allen concoct for the

3271
02:28:25,280 --> 02:28:26,800
Speaker 4: offense going forward in Buffalo.

3272
02:28:27,320 --> 02:28:30,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that third down portion of it is huge.

3273
02:28:30,560 --> 02:28:34,400
Speaker 3: I believe that the devil in the details and the minutia.

3274
02:28:34,920 --> 02:28:36,720
Speaker 3: At some point you've got to have a go to.

3275
02:28:36,879 --> 02:28:38,959
Speaker 3: This is third and six, and I know what I'm doing,

3276
02:28:39,080 --> 02:28:40,840
Speaker 3: and the great teams have some sort of a way

3277
02:28:40,879 --> 02:28:44,039
Speaker 3: to figure that out constantly, whether it's Kelsey and Mahomes,

3278
02:28:44,080 --> 02:28:45,520
Speaker 3: you know, we look at some of these it's third

3279
02:28:45,520 --> 02:28:47,080
Speaker 3: and six. I need one guy to be able to

3280
02:28:47,120 --> 02:28:48,840
Speaker 3: stand up and make that play. Who is that guy?

3281
02:28:49,240 --> 02:28:51,720
Speaker 3: And the Bills answer to third and six is I'm

3282
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:54,120
Speaker 3: gonna hope and pray that Josh Allen can figure something out.

3283
02:28:54,520 --> 02:28:57,240
Speaker 3: Now the answer is Amari Cooper, and he's never worked

3284
02:28:57,240 --> 02:29:00,560
Speaker 3: with a quarterback as capable of making off schedule throws,

3285
02:29:00,720 --> 02:29:03,360
Speaker 3: as capable of rolling out and extending plays. I think

3286
02:29:03,400 --> 02:29:07,160
Speaker 3: this really revitalizes the next level of Amari Cooper. But

3287
02:29:07,680 --> 02:29:09,480
Speaker 3: you know, I talked to somebody that coached to Mario

3288
02:29:09,520 --> 02:29:11,959
Speaker 3: at the highest possible level, and I asked him why

3289
02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:14,800
Speaker 3: is amar always so inconsistent? And the joking response I

3290
02:29:14,800 --> 02:29:16,959
Speaker 3: got from that former coach was if I knew that,

3291
02:29:17,000 --> 02:29:19,800
Speaker 3: I'd probably still be coaching. There is a level of

3292
02:29:19,840 --> 02:29:23,119
Speaker 3: Amari that behind the scenes. The knock is if if

3293
02:29:23,120 --> 02:29:24,920
Speaker 3: you say or do something in the locker room that

3294
02:29:24,959 --> 02:29:27,360
Speaker 3: gets into his feels, he just checks out for the

3295
02:29:27,360 --> 02:29:29,039
Speaker 3: week and you don't know how to get him back in.

3296
02:29:29,400 --> 02:29:32,840
Speaker 3: So Josh Allen is a great manager of personalities. I

3297
02:29:32,840 --> 02:29:34,400
Speaker 3: think he's gonna have to be that for a Mari.

3298
02:29:34,520 --> 02:29:36,840
Speaker 3: But man, if they keep him engaged, I do think

3299
02:29:36,879 --> 02:29:38,879
Speaker 3: this is the difference that really takes Buffalo to the

3300
02:29:38,879 --> 02:29:39,400
Speaker 3: next level.

3301
02:29:39,600 --> 02:29:44,840
Speaker 4: Well see on display, they'll they'll play the Tennessee Titans. Cooper,

3302
02:29:45,879 --> 02:29:49,320
Speaker 4: last I saw, was not expected to go or may

3303
02:29:49,360 --> 02:29:51,640
Speaker 4: have a small package we'll keep an eye on that.

3304
02:29:52,959 --> 02:29:56,920
Speaker 4: So he's out until next week. So we've got Buffalo

3305
02:29:57,240 --> 02:30:02,600
Speaker 4: my nine point favorites against Tennessee the starting Mason Rudolph,

3306
02:30:02,920 --> 02:30:05,400
Speaker 4: even though Will Levis had practiced and done a bunch

3307
02:30:05,480 --> 02:30:09,200
Speaker 4: of things. So you have that certainly to ponder on

3308
02:30:09,280 --> 02:30:11,880
Speaker 4: their side of what exactly their line of thinking is.

3309
02:30:11,920 --> 02:30:16,640
Speaker 4: But they're irrelevant in the NFL conversation at the midpoint

3310
02:30:16,640 --> 02:30:19,720
Speaker 4: of the season, so we will kick them aside. But

3311
02:30:19,760 --> 02:30:23,520
Speaker 4: for Buffalo moving forward, the interesting chess match, and we'll

3312
02:30:23,520 --> 02:30:25,880
Speaker 4: see what other pieces may be on the move as

3313
02:30:25,959 --> 02:30:27,560
Speaker 4: we roll through. But now it's time to get over

3314
02:30:27,600 --> 02:30:30,199
Speaker 4: to the update desk for a guy on the ins

3315
02:30:30,200 --> 02:30:34,480
Speaker 4: and outs of our NFL Sunday. It's Isaac Lohenkron.

3316
02:30:34,800 --> 02:30:38,760
Speaker 10: Good morning, Fellas. Opening drive at Wembley Stadium in London.

3317
02:30:38,840 --> 02:30:42,680
Speaker 10: The Patriots and Jaguars are scoreless with ten fifty two

3318
02:30:42,760 --> 02:30:45,800
Speaker 10: left to play in the first quarter. Upcoming, New England's

3319
02:30:45,800 --> 02:30:48,160
Speaker 10: got a third and three at the Jacksonville twenty seven

3320
02:30:48,240 --> 02:30:51,440
Speaker 10: yard line. Patriots starting quarterback Drake May four for five

3321
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:55,480
Speaker 10: for forty one yards on this opening drive, and Fellas

3322
02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:58,720
Speaker 10: people on social media thrilled by this matchup of one

3323
02:30:58,760 --> 02:31:02,480
Speaker 10: in five teams, Robert posting, how is it not considered

3324
02:31:02,520 --> 02:31:07,279
Speaker 10: a diplomatic offense to subject England to the Patriots and Jaguars?

3325
02:31:07,680 --> 02:31:11,119
Speaker 10: Steak commenting quote, this is the worst thing we've done

3326
02:31:11,120 --> 02:31:15,360
Speaker 10: to England since the American Revolution, and Mason perhaps summing

3327
02:31:15,400 --> 02:31:18,840
Speaker 10: it up best quote, we're all sickos for waking up

3328
02:31:18,840 --> 02:31:23,680
Speaker 10: early to watch this Patriots Jaguars game. Yes we are, Mason,

3329
02:31:24,520 --> 02:31:28,080
Speaker 10: Yes we are speaking of waking up early. Earlier today,

3330
02:31:28,160 --> 02:31:31,360
Speaker 10: New York Jets pass rusher Hassan Reddick ended his whold out.

3331
02:31:31,400 --> 02:31:34,440
Speaker 10: According to his new agent, he's agreed to a reworked

3332
02:31:34,600 --> 02:31:37,760
Speaker 10: short term contract that is now expected to report to

3333
02:31:37,800 --> 02:31:40,160
Speaker 10: the Jets on Monday. In Game five of the American

3334
02:31:40,240 --> 02:31:43,840
Speaker 10: League Championship Series Saturday night, Juan Soto's three run home

3335
02:31:43,920 --> 02:31:45,480
Speaker 10: run with two outs of the top of the tenth

3336
02:31:45,480 --> 02:31:48,520
Speaker 10: inning gave the Yankees a five to win over Cleveland.

3337
02:31:48,560 --> 02:31:51,080
Speaker 10: The Yankees win the series four games to one. They

3338
02:31:51,080 --> 02:31:54,199
Speaker 10: win their forty first American League pennant and their first

3339
02:31:54,320 --> 02:31:57,200
Speaker 10: in fifteen years. And in college football, on Saturday night,

3340
02:31:57,400 --> 02:32:00,880
Speaker 10: fifth ranth Georgia what at number one Texas to fifteen

3341
02:32:01,240 --> 02:32:04,560
Speaker 10: number nine Iowa. Last bit of touchdown to best Central

3342
02:32:04,560 --> 02:32:08,680
Speaker 10: Florida thirty eight to thirty five Iowa State seven and

3343
02:32:08,760 --> 02:32:12,040
Speaker 10: zero for the first time since nineteen thirty eight. Fellas

3344
02:32:12,080 --> 02:32:12,640
Speaker 10: back to you.

3345
02:32:13,040 --> 02:32:16,240
Speaker 4: Chaos across the college football world at Isaac Lohencron where

3346
02:32:16,280 --> 02:32:18,600
Speaker 4: you find him. He's got the Angel City call later

3347
02:32:18,959 --> 02:32:22,920
Speaker 4: on today. That's always a little extra bonus for you,

3348
02:32:23,040 --> 02:32:26,160
Speaker 4: Jason Fitz Go and look at his timeline. Some of

3349
02:32:26,160 --> 02:32:30,199
Speaker 4: the calls majestic, majestic stuff.

3350
02:32:30,959 --> 02:32:32,640
Speaker 3: He's got the voice for it too. Like there's just

3351
02:32:32,640 --> 02:32:34,240
Speaker 3: certain guys that you hear them, You're like.

3352
02:32:34,280 --> 02:32:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you, Jason.

3353
02:32:36,440 --> 02:32:38,680
Speaker 10: I didn't get into Juilliard though, I didn't know that.

3354
02:32:38,680 --> 02:32:39,560
Speaker 2: That's super cool.

3355
02:32:39,959 --> 02:32:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Juilliard is. I was a fat hit to play

3356
02:32:42,160 --> 02:32:44,640
Speaker 3: the violin. Let's not give any street crint to that. Like, no,

3357
02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:47,440
Speaker 3: that was my you know, past life. Yes, but well

3358
02:32:47,480 --> 02:32:51,120
Speaker 3: at ten and eleven, you know, I mean Carnie Hall

3359
02:32:51,160 --> 02:32:54,400
Speaker 3: when I was ten years old, was I was back?

3360
02:32:54,520 --> 02:32:57,760
Speaker 3: You know, I peaked musically in what for? I hit puberty.

3361
02:32:58,080 --> 02:33:01,119
Speaker 3: But I will say this, it's like my voice sounds

3362
02:33:01,120 --> 02:33:04,920
Speaker 3: like prepregestinent, pre you know what I'm saying, pre puberty child.

3363
02:33:05,680 --> 02:33:07,320
Speaker 3: So like I don't stand a chance to do in

3364
02:33:07,360 --> 02:33:09,080
Speaker 3: any of those things that sound cool with to my voice,

3365
02:33:09,080 --> 02:33:11,640
Speaker 3: like I you know, distinct voice for radio is the

3366
02:33:11,640 --> 02:33:13,920
Speaker 3: polite way that people condescendingly tell me that my voice

3367
02:33:13,920 --> 02:33:15,480
Speaker 3: still cracks, like that's it, that's it.

3368
02:33:15,920 --> 02:33:18,440
Speaker 4: Anytime we can get a brady bunch of reference into

3369
02:33:18,480 --> 02:33:20,920
Speaker 4: the show we do. When it's time to change, you

3370
02:33:21,080 --> 02:33:25,120
Speaker 4: got to rearrange. And then you know, eventually in a

3371
02:33:25,160 --> 02:33:27,560
Speaker 4: couple of years, you'll be back on tour and I'll

3372
02:33:27,600 --> 02:33:28,480
Speaker 4: just be your roadie.

3373
02:33:28,840 --> 02:33:31,680
Speaker 3: No, no, it'll be great. I am. My touring days

3374
02:33:31,680 --> 02:33:35,119
Speaker 3: are long. We have be like I, I sit here

3375
02:33:35,160 --> 02:33:36,800
Speaker 3: and do radio in front of a wall full of

3376
02:33:36,840 --> 02:33:39,720
Speaker 3: golden platinum records like a boss. That only remind me

3377
02:33:39,760 --> 02:33:41,480
Speaker 3: I have no desire to live on a tour bus ever.

3378
02:33:41,520 --> 02:33:44,640
Speaker 4: Again, fair enough point taken. All right, We'll look for

3379
02:33:44,680 --> 02:33:48,640
Speaker 4: the anthology and the book to come later on at

3380
02:33:48,720 --> 02:33:50,800
Speaker 4: Jason Fitz where you find them on Twitter. Find me

3381
02:33:50,840 --> 02:33:53,760
Speaker 4: over at Swollendome. As we continue here, it's Fox Football Sunday.

3382
02:33:53,760 --> 02:33:56,920
Speaker 4: A couple more news items and notes to get through

3383
02:33:56,959 --> 02:33:59,400
Speaker 4: at a couple more games to discuss as we get

3384
02:33:59,480 --> 02:34:02,440
Speaker 4: ready for out down to kickoff. That'll kick off here

3385
02:34:02,800 --> 02:34:05,600
Speaker 4: in twenty minutes with the guys on Fox Sports Radio.

3386
02:34:06,959 --> 02:34:09,400
Speaker 4: Another cup is a cup of coffee or maybe less sleep,

3387
02:34:09,400 --> 02:34:11,039
Speaker 4: and I try to hit the high note as we

3388
02:34:11,080 --> 02:34:14,760
Speaker 4: come back here. It's Fox Football Sunday, Fox Sports Radio,

3389
02:34:14,800 --> 02:34:17,280
Speaker 4: Mike Harbon, Jason Fits with you, remind your coup down

3390
02:34:17,280 --> 02:34:20,440
Speaker 4: to kickoff presented by bet MGM coming up in ten

3391
02:34:20,480 --> 02:34:23,240
Speaker 4: minutes from now, and Jason Fitz. They're all going to

3392
02:34:23,320 --> 02:34:25,119
Speaker 4: be telling you about what do you do when you're

3393
02:34:25,240 --> 02:34:29,760
Speaker 4: chasing seven after giving up a game opening touchdown. Here's

3394
02:34:29,800 --> 02:34:30,560
Speaker 4: how it sounded.

3395
02:34:30,760 --> 02:34:33,080
Speaker 7: Chocolates snap to me, lookie what he tosses it to

3396
02:34:33,080 --> 02:34:34,440
Speaker 7: a wide open hingstet right.

3397
02:34:34,440 --> 02:34:35,800
Speaker 2: Sideline, Piana cut.

3398
02:34:35,640 --> 02:34:37,119
Speaker 3: Look at the five to Michael.

3399
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:39,640
Speaker 1: Comer c bar dodge a damn zone.

3400
02:34:39,760 --> 02:34:41,800
Speaker 3: Touchdown, Patriots.

3401
02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:44,320
Speaker 1: That's a hell of the read by the young quarterback on.

3402
02:34:44,320 --> 02:34:45,160
Speaker 5: The second start.

3403
02:34:45,959 --> 02:34:49,920
Speaker 4: There you go, as we get the Patriots radio on

3404
02:34:49,959 --> 02:34:53,120
Speaker 4: the call, excited right off the jump. Drake May six

3405
02:34:53,200 --> 02:34:58,040
Speaker 4: of seven sixty two yards and a touchdown against a disinterested,

3406
02:34:59,120 --> 02:35:06,880
Speaker 4: ineffective Jaguars defense. Absolutely pathetic as hasty walks in a

3407
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:11,120
Speaker 4: bad effort by Hinz Allen formerly Josh Allen on the

3408
02:35:11,280 --> 02:35:13,760
Speaker 4: effort where he thinks he's gonna run out of bounds

3409
02:35:13,840 --> 02:35:17,000
Speaker 4: or something cuts back in and nobody bothers to meet

3410
02:35:17,080 --> 02:35:20,800
Speaker 4: him at the goal line. Touchdown, Patriots their first opening

3411
02:35:20,879 --> 02:35:24,480
Speaker 4: drive touchdown of the season. Jason Fitz, we were talking

3412
02:35:24,520 --> 02:35:30,520
Speaker 4: about effort, talking about long holidays in Europe. Doug Peterson

3413
02:35:30,959 --> 02:35:33,840
Speaker 4: is about fifty five minutes away from perhaps having one.

3414
02:35:34,200 --> 02:35:35,800
Speaker 3: I hope he flew the family over so they can

3415
02:35:35,840 --> 02:35:37,840
Speaker 3: get a nice little trip after all this is done,

3416
02:35:37,840 --> 02:35:42,000
Speaker 3: and celebrating his you know, contracts fully guaranteed, so good

3417
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:45,400
Speaker 3: for him, because you know when coaches, when coaches are

3418
02:35:45,480 --> 02:35:47,200
Speaker 3: let go, we should stress it's not really about the

3419
02:35:47,240 --> 02:35:50,280
Speaker 3: head coach whose contract is fully guaranteed. It's about everybody else,

3420
02:35:50,320 --> 02:35:52,800
Speaker 3: and you know, everything all the way down to training

3421
02:35:52,840 --> 02:35:55,680
Speaker 3: people that you know don't necessarily have the same livelihood

3422
02:35:56,080 --> 02:35:58,640
Speaker 3: that are all impacted. So I joke about it, but

3423
02:35:59,440 --> 02:36:02,560
Speaker 3: there's a here for the Patriots, and that is I. Honestly,

3424
02:36:02,600 --> 02:36:04,120
Speaker 3: if I was New England, I've said all year I

3425
02:36:04,160 --> 02:36:05,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't have played Drake May at all because I think

3426
02:36:05,879 --> 02:36:08,480
Speaker 3: that roster is just a disaster around him. But he

3427
02:36:08,560 --> 02:36:11,000
Speaker 3: has come in and looks sharp, and this is what

3428
02:36:11,120 --> 02:36:12,760
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna have to get used to coming

3429
02:36:12,760 --> 02:36:15,160
Speaker 3: out of college football because of NIL and the changes

3430
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:19,080
Speaker 3: and transfer portal eligibility rules. College football quarterbacks are older

3431
02:36:19,080 --> 02:36:20,920
Speaker 3: than ever and they've played more football than ever. So

3432
02:36:21,280 --> 02:36:22,879
Speaker 3: you got guys that are just a little bit more

3433
02:36:22,920 --> 02:36:24,959
Speaker 3: experience coming into the league, that have a little bit

3434
02:36:24,959 --> 02:36:27,000
Speaker 3: more mindset of what it takes to be a quarterback

3435
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:29,280
Speaker 3: in the league. And we're seeing it this year, Like,

3436
02:36:29,360 --> 02:36:32,840
Speaker 3: it is so interesting to me, And you know, Drake's

3437
02:36:32,840 --> 02:36:35,400
Speaker 3: only twenty two, but it is interesting to me that

3438
02:36:35,480 --> 02:36:40,240
Speaker 3: across the board we've got this Caleb Jaden Drake. This

3439
02:36:40,520 --> 02:36:42,520
Speaker 3: just looks like a home run of a draft class

3440
02:36:42,600 --> 02:36:45,039
Speaker 3: so far. We don't even know what JJ's gonna look like.

3441
02:36:45,040 --> 02:36:46,840
Speaker 3: We won't know what Michael Pennox is gonna look like

3442
02:36:46,879 --> 02:36:49,160
Speaker 3: for a minute, But man, I just I think it.

3443
02:36:49,200 --> 02:36:51,960
Speaker 3: Talent evaluators have an easier job at the quarterback position

3444
02:36:52,080 --> 02:36:54,600
Speaker 3: than ever because they get more time to actually see

3445
02:36:54,600 --> 02:36:55,640
Speaker 3: these guys before they come up.

3446
02:36:55,640 --> 02:36:58,120
Speaker 4: I'd sit, we talk about games played. I know, the

3447
02:36:58,440 --> 02:37:02,080
Speaker 4: big conversation obviously over in Indianapolis. We talked about the

3448
02:37:02,080 --> 02:37:05,360
Speaker 4: Miami side of things, with two potentially coming back here

3449
02:37:05,400 --> 02:37:07,320
Speaker 4: in the next couple of weeks. The other side of

3450
02:37:07,760 --> 02:37:10,680
Speaker 4: Week seven is Anthony Richardson playing I Know You and

3451
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,039
Speaker 4: Andy talked about it a little bit earlier on in

3452
02:37:14,160 --> 02:37:17,119
Speaker 4: the wee hours of the morning here on the West Coast.

3453
02:37:17,160 --> 02:37:20,160
Speaker 4: You can find the podcast wherever you find your audio downloaded.

3454
02:37:20,200 --> 02:37:22,520
Speaker 4: Give it five stars, rate it, review it, send it

3455
02:37:22,520 --> 02:37:25,480
Speaker 4: to friends and family. We'll love you forever. But to

3456
02:37:25,560 --> 02:37:29,800
Speaker 4: that point, a very short sample size for Anthony Richardson

3457
02:37:29,920 --> 02:37:33,160
Speaker 4: some of the other quarterbacks that get pressed into action

3458
02:37:33,560 --> 02:37:38,680
Speaker 4: because of the great athleticism, but not necessarily the knowledge,

3459
02:37:38,879 --> 02:37:42,040
Speaker 4: the depth of experience to why you know, Brock Purdy

3460
02:37:42,080 --> 02:37:46,000
Speaker 4: becomes the poster child for playing your full college run

3461
02:37:46,560 --> 02:37:51,680
Speaker 4: and getting into a proper system, proper of culture, as

3462
02:37:51,720 --> 02:37:54,240
Speaker 4: it were, can get you to the promised Land. So

3463
02:37:54,320 --> 02:37:58,680
Speaker 4: Drake May looked good last week, great opening drive, Jaguars

3464
02:37:59,160 --> 02:38:02,520
Speaker 4: didn't look like they really wanted to play defense. Evan

3465
02:38:02,640 --> 02:38:06,959
Speaker 4: Ingram two catches on this ensuing drive for the Jaguars,

3466
02:38:06,959 --> 02:38:09,280
Speaker 4: which just ended in a punt. So May coming back

3467
02:38:09,320 --> 02:38:11,800
Speaker 4: on the field. As we get deep into side the

3468
02:38:11,840 --> 02:38:15,480
Speaker 4: first quarter, quick house keeping note, no Cooper Cup for

3469
02:38:15,560 --> 02:38:18,680
Speaker 4: the Rams. They were hoping he'd be back. Amari Cooper

3470
02:38:18,760 --> 02:38:22,720
Speaker 4: will have a debut with the Bills later. How much

3471
02:38:22,760 --> 02:38:24,879
Speaker 4: he'll be used don't know, but he's good enough I

3472
02:38:24,879 --> 02:38:27,120
Speaker 4: think for a back end number two or flex play

3473
02:38:27,320 --> 02:38:29,360
Speaker 4: for the fantasy purposes. If you want to stick around,

3474
02:38:29,360 --> 02:38:32,279
Speaker 4: I'll be happy to answer questions on Twitter at Swollen

3475
02:38:32,320 --> 02:38:35,480
Speaker 4: Dome as we go. But Baltimore Tampa, because we're talking

3476
02:38:35,480 --> 02:38:39,400
Speaker 4: about this draft class a lot. Jason Is twenty eighteen

3477
02:38:39,440 --> 02:38:41,760
Speaker 4: looks a lot better in hindsight. We talked Josh Allen.

3478
02:38:41,959 --> 02:38:44,720
Speaker 4: You've got the battle of Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson.

3479
02:38:44,720 --> 02:38:48,040
Speaker 4: The only guy not playing meaningful football, Josh Rosen. Sorry,

3480
02:38:48,040 --> 02:38:50,640
Speaker 4: you were the odd man out. You got screwed in Arizona.

3481
02:38:51,920 --> 02:38:55,400
Speaker 4: That's the breaks, as they say, but multiple bites of

3482
02:38:55,440 --> 02:38:58,560
Speaker 4: the apple. He's out. But that game on Monday is

3483
02:38:58,640 --> 02:39:03,039
Speaker 4: one to to watch. You've got Carolina going up against

3484
02:39:03,120 --> 02:39:06,680
Speaker 4: Washington and Daniels. They're an eight point favorite, fifty one

3485
02:39:06,760 --> 02:39:09,880
Speaker 4: and a half or fifty two to the total. Detroit Minnesota,

3486
02:39:10,160 --> 02:39:13,320
Speaker 4: I mean, limited resources. Where are your eyes drifting as

3487
02:39:13,360 --> 02:39:15,000
Speaker 4: the packages go up?

3488
02:39:15,760 --> 02:39:19,960
Speaker 3: I think Detroit Minnesota teaches us the most. Minnesota is

3489
02:39:19,959 --> 02:39:21,840
Speaker 3: just going to wreck every quarterback they go up against.

3490
02:39:21,879 --> 02:39:24,119
Speaker 3: The season, or is Jared Goff going to be the

3491
02:39:24,200 --> 02:39:26,960
Speaker 3: one that rex Minnesota and makes himself an MVP candidate.

3492
02:39:27,000 --> 02:39:28,720
Speaker 3: I think that game has the most we can learn

3493
02:39:28,760 --> 02:39:29,680
Speaker 3: from of any game this week.

3494
02:39:29,760 --> 02:39:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, curious on the Detroit defense side after the loss

3495
02:39:32,600 --> 02:39:35,360
Speaker 4: of Hutchinson a week ago, the guys will have all

3496
02:39:35,360 --> 02:39:38,760
Speaker 4: the insights from the gambling perspective coming up as you

3497
02:39:38,800 --> 02:39:41,120
Speaker 4: look for an edge at the bar or in the

3498
02:39:41,160 --> 02:39:43,960
Speaker 4: local leagues. He's Jason Fitz, I'm Mike Krmen. Thanks for listening.

3499
02:39:44,000 --> 02:39:46,000
Speaker 4: It's Fox Football Sunday at Fox Sports Radio.
