And 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: what is your reaction to the Giants coach Brian Dayball 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: and his depth chart deception refusing the Giants coach refusing 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: to name his backup quarterback between Jackson Dart and Jameis Winston. 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: What are you doing?

So I've got Lizard, Elton, 51 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: John and Raspberry and we will combine all of these 52 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: ingredients together and we're gonna make you a Babushka's favorite 53 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: PB and J, because every Babushka knows a good PBNJ. 54 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Aren't they delicious?

This means and I 56 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: want to be very clear for those who in the 57 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: back of the room, this means absolutely not thing. Put 58 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: this in the basket with bupkus on. It is what 59 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: this is. It's kind of like winning the talent show 60 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: when you were in high school. That's wonderful. Maybe you 61 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: get a little trophy. A little plastic trophy does not 62 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: mean you're ready to go to Broadway, just does not. Now, 63 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: this is a perception not reality situation. It's a popularity contest. 64 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: And look listen. Sakwan Barkley was majestic last year. He 65 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: absolutely cooked the team that I like more than other teams, 66 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: the LA Rams. It was embarrassing as they tried to 67 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: stop him. He had several huge runs, including in the 68 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: playoff game in Philadelphia. The man painted a masterpiece, an 69 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: absolute masterpiece worthy of being hung at the louver, only 70 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: with shoulder pads and some grass stains. It was a 71 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: symphony on turf, is what it was. For the Eagles 72 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: running back, he was a ballet dancer with pads. I 73 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: can go on and on here. That won amazing play 74 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville when he spun around and leapt up in 75 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: the air like he was a Marvel comic character. It 76 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: was great. However, that is not what this is about. See, 77 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: that is not what this is about. This is about 78 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: guys in the locker room scribbling down names on a 79 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: ballot in between Fortnite matches. That's what this is about. 80 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean, so you got a factor in who's actually voting. 81 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: A lot of the meathead fanboys, oh, the players voted. 82 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: This has more meeting and not so much. I don't 83 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: know that I would go there. For most of the 84 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: people that play pro football, it's gonna blow you away. 85 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: This is an original take. Most of the people that 86 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: play pro football, it is their job. It's not their hobby, 87 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: it's not their life's passion. It's their job. They're good 88 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: at it. They'll do it for a few years and 89 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: then they'll go do something else. It's just something they're 90 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: doing for work. It pays them a good amount of money. 91 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: Not fans. You're a fan, they're not fans, uh. And 92 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: the people that they're voting on are co workers. Those 93 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: are other people that work in their job. That's what 94 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: that is. And so they know the highlights, right, They 95 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: know the high they know the headlines. They know a 96 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: little bit about that. They know who embarrassed them on 97 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: the field on a given Sunday, and those are likely 98 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the people that they vote for. Whoever's on the headlines there, 99 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: they're filling out the thing of a jig in the 100 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: locker room like they're like you would fill out a 101 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: March Madness bracket after you've had a couple of bruskies, right, 102 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: a couple of beers. You start filling that thing out, 103 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: all right, said, Darts on the board, darts on the board. 104 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 105 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: And the list and this is a list, right, this 106 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: list has all the staying power of cotton candy at 107 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 1: a counovol, it does. It tastes good. Cotton candy tastes 108 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: good for about three seconds out three seconds and then 109 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: you're just left sticky and annoyed and it gets all 110 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: over your hands. You gotta wash your hands and then 111 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: it's like this. You can't get it off with it. 112 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: You need a lot of soap to get the stuff off. 113 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. Anyway, So today we 114 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: do the show today, and so today Sequon Barkley is 115 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: the king of the mountain, NFL mountain. Congratulations, you're at 116 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: top of the NFL mountain tomorrow. Who knows, because the 117 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: NFL world life comes at you pretty pretty fast, pretty 118 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: just football world in general, but the NFL specifically. Know 119 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: what's my evidence? Ask the cheetah, ask the chee Let's 120 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: go on the hot, tough time machine. We were having 121 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: this conversation last year, around this time. Last year, around 122 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: this time, do you know who was number one last year? 123 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Do you know who has voted the top player in 124 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: the NFL last year, according to the prop the news 125 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: service of the NFL, ding Ding Ding, ding Ding, that 126 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: would be the Cheetah tyreek Kill, Tyreek Hill was voted 127 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: the top player in the NFL. The bell of the ball, 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: the bell of the pigskin ball, tyreek Hill. Twelve months later, 129 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: he's hanging out down at number forty seven, from number one, 130 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: all the way down to number forty seven. Forty seven, yes, 131 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: forty seven. We don't have a jingle for that to 132 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: left down there like the dust from failed lottery tickets, 133 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: just down there at the bottom. And this is another 134 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: reason why I can't stand list now. I did a 135 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: rant about this on my podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast, 136 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. Maybe it's been a couple months. 137 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just one thing after another. But 138 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: the gist of it, and this is my position on 139 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: this kind of thing, is the late great La Times columnist, 140 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: a guy I considered a friend, TJ. Simers, once taught 141 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: me lists are the ultimate, the ultimate brain fall go 142 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: their brain fag. They tap into the lizard part of 143 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: the human brain, and we're logic, logic. It goes on 144 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: a nice vacation, right that part of the brain. Lists 145 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: are nothing but opinions. They're nothing but opinions. They're dressed 146 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: up though, in a nice tuxedo. So you've got a 147 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: nice tuxedo pretending to be the gospel truth. And it 148 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: is like a bunch of people saying, well, here's what 149 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: I think, right, here's what I think, and pretending it's 150 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: science because you put some numbers near it and all that. 151 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: It's the illusion of authority. And my favorite thing is 152 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: when people take these lists and they take them seriously. 153 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: And it's a proven fact. I have talked to enough 154 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: people every days to work in the media. It's like, 155 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: this is a this is a little cheat code that 156 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: you're dumb and you will fall for this every time. 157 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: You will react to it. And that's why they do it, 158 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: and it's gold. It's the easiest thing to do. You 159 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: have to throw a couple of curveballs in the air, right, 160 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: a couple of curveballs unusual. You'll move somebody down who 161 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: should be higher, move someone higher who should be down. 162 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of moving parts to it. There's 163 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: so many people that take this stuff seriously because the 164 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: lizard part of the brain. It's like, you know, stone 165 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: tablet from the mountaintop, and you know, it's like four 166 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: hundred or something football players that vote on this thing, 167 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, that guy's kind of good. 168 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: I guess we'll vote for him. I see him on 169 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: the highlights a lot. I see him on the click 170 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, things I click on on Instagram or whatever, 171 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: So why not? And what what it does tell you 172 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: is perception. It tells you perception. Like right now, players 173 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: because of the highlights and the attention, perceive Sakuon Barkley 174 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: as the top player in the NFL. And that lasts 175 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, how long does that last? We'll ask again. 176 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: We brought up the Cheetah Tyreek Hill lasts about as 177 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: long as one of those snapchat messages, you know, just 178 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: kind of self destruction all that, but one injury, one 179 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: bad stretch for Barkley and he's falling down, down, down, down, 180 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: down down down the mountaintop all the way down to 181 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: the bottom, like an old school Tom and Jerry cartoon. 182 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: Back in the day and you're yesterday's news. What have 183 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: you done for me lately? You peaked? You're done now 184 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And that's that's the way this works. 185 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: That's the way this particular thing works. At one year, 186 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: you're the Ribbi steak. Everyone wants the Ribbi steak, butterfly 187 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: cut well done. That's the proper way to eat steak, 188 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: butterfly cut well done. And then the next year your spam. 189 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: You can spam, that's what you are. And so you 190 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: know that's fine. Good luck. State sponsored media can announce 191 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: this thing and that thing and all they want and congratulations. 192 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: So moving on from that, the the other part of 193 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: this as we move on, how about to Los Angeles 194 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: where Chargers running back Nase Harris, somebody we've talked about 195 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: a decent amount, considering he's not that good. Nase Harris 196 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: has been a toss up toss up to start the 197 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: NFL season. The backfield Charges open up in a few 198 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: days here. Suffered an eye injury playing with fireworks on 199 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: the fourth of July, little accident. Harris gave an update 200 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: Naji Harris saying that his vision was not affected by 201 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: the firework incident. He again called it a superficial injury. Now, 202 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Harris also said that he's working towards being on the 203 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: field for the charge of the season opener against the Chiefs 204 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: in Brazil that'll be on Friday. On Friday, So what 205 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: is your read here's the question, what is your read 206 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: on running back Naji Harris doubling down, doubling down that 207 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: his eye injury was just superficial. Okay, So my position 208 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: on this, my read on this is a lot of sugar, 209 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of sugar coating. You know, you bake cookies 210 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: and you put them wrap them in the sugar there 211 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: and they taste really good. But it's a lot of sugarcoating. 212 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: This thing is not only got sugar, it's it's got 213 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: marshmallow fluff in it. It really does. So we're supposed 214 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: to believe Najee Harris missed pretty much all of Chargers 215 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: training camp other than walking laps around the field, right, 216 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: other than that, and we're supposed to believe that was 217 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: a superficial eye injury, that what he got great is 218 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: by a sparkler, and that's that's what happened. Was it 219 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: a rogue confetti cannon? That's some gender reveal gone wrong. No, 220 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: it was a fourth of July. The math ain't mathing 221 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: on this. It's just not It doesn't add up. You 222 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: don't miss almost all of training camp because of a 223 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: superficial eye injury. You don't have to have a medical 224 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: degree to know that's not the way it works. That's 225 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: not a not a hangnail, you know, it's not a 226 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: paper cut. It's it's not a grain of sand in 227 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the eyeball. It's not that. That is a Roman candle 228 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: in the wind, Elfton John style, a Roman candle in 229 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: the wind and it blew up close enough to your 230 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: eye to cause you to miss almost all of training. 231 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: So don't be confused that this was some sweet Norman 232 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Rockwell fourth of July apple pie mom lawn shares fireworks 233 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: type of event. This was Florida man meets fireworks caught 234 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: boom is what it was. And so you don't sideline 235 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: yourself for months months. This happened back in July. Here 236 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: we are now in September. Unless something went really wrong 237 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: right near your cornea, right near your cornea. There, so 238 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Harris trying to shake off the firework injury like he 239 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: had a bad burrito from a food truck. And now 240 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: I do love the optimism. You know, Benny Brightside, this 241 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: is an optimistic person. He's very optimistic that's going to 242 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: work out there. And we'll just not pretend that he 243 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: hasn't been lifting weights and all that stuff, working out 244 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: with his teammates. He's I guess he should have been 245 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: better at dodging bottle rockets on the fourth of July, 246 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: But it was all superficial. If it was superficial, he 247 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: would not have been back in pads for a few days. 248 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: He would have been back in pads by day three. 249 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: But I digress. So we hope, we do hope that 250 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Najie Harris gets out there and plays. We really do. 251 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. I'm not just saying, oh, 252 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: are you just saying that at the end. No, I 253 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: would like to see him play, right, just do not 254 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: insult our intelligence that it was a superficial thing. Now, 255 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: a buddy of mine's, well, he's got to say that 256 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: because the Chargers if he doesn't actually play, and this 257 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: is no guarantees is going to play this week, and 258 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: if somebody else usurps him as the top back for 259 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: the Chargers, and then the Chargers end up getting rid 260 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: of him. They're going to say it's with cause because 261 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: of the injury, and then he'll say, well, no, it's superficial. 262 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: So he's got to kind of say that. But it 263 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: definitely was not a speck of dust. We've all gotten 264 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: that in the eye, right, You're like, oh, man, I 265 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: gotta water wash my eye out and all this stuff. 266 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: It was a fourth of July. It's like a psa 267 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: waiting to happen, is what it is. All right. Now, 268 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: final point to Jersey. We go not the Jersey Show. 269 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: We go to northern New Jersey, just across the way 270 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: from Manhattan, and that is where coach Brian Dayball, the 271 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: formerly wrote Ton coach, refusing refusing to reveal whether or 272 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: not rookie Jackson Dart or veteran famous Jameis Winston will 273 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: serve as the giants backup quarterback the season opener on 274 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: Sunday against the team formerly known as the Redskins. So question, 275 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: what is your reaction? What is your reaction to Giants 276 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: coach Brian Daboles depth chart deception. We'll call it the 277 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: depth chart deception refusing the name his backup quarterback between 278 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: Jackson Dart and Jameis Winston. So in this one, it 279 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: is a raspberry, it is a Raspberry beret. It's the 280 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: Prince of paranoia. Brian day Ball the prince of paranoia 281 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: here going with the psychological warfare, Like, dude, your team 282 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: blows like what are you doing? Seriously? Like, can someone 283 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: let Brian Dable know that it's not amusing, it's rather 284 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: stupid what you're doing. It is. It's like, well, I mean, 285 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: we got to use deception here. I me know, Spider 286 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: out of art. You're not guarding the nuclear codes. I 287 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: don't believe it's a backup quarterback on a dog food 288 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: NFL team. Just say the name, say my name, right, 289 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: and and by the way, if the commanders know the 290 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: playbook of the Giants, it wouldn't change the outcome. Like 291 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: the Giants could telegraph all the plays. It doesn't matter 292 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: whether the commanders know the players that don't know the plays, 293 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't really change the outcome of the game. So 294 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: stop that, right, Like do the Giants think do they 295 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: have this neurosis where they're like, well, if we tell 296 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: the I we tell Washington or backup quarterback, then they're 297 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: gonna know and they're gonna change their entire defensive scheme. 298 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: Give me a break, Okay, just stop now. Russell Wilson 299 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: is thirty six. He is brittle, right, He's like kind 300 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: of like a bread stick. He's like a breadstick from 301 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: olive garden. You can kind of rip him in half 302 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: there and all that, and little Marinera on the side, 303 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: and and you know, the Giants likely know that Russ is. 304 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: If you were to bet on quarterbacks likely to get 305 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: hurt in Week one of the NFL, which is something 306 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: I'm not against doing injury bingo. We have done injury 307 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: bingo in the past, you'd put Aaron Rodgers in the 308 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: one spot. Russell Wilson would be pretty close behind Matthew 309 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: Stafford I would have at number two, but you'd have 310 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson somewhere in the mix there on the on 311 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: the again, not a list, but a big board of 312 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: who's likely to get hurt at the quarterback position early 313 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: in the season, and so you're gonna need a backup. 314 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: And Brian Dayball is acting like it's a state secret here, 315 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: and you just roll your eyes at this, like what's 316 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: going on? So this is either Brian Dayball, the coach 317 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: of the Giants, coddling the Jackson Dart fanboys. He played 318 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: so well against guys who are now going to be 319 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: joining our friend Tree working for ups. He played so well, right, 320 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: they don't want to hurt his feelings or their feelings, 321 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: the Jackson Dart fanboys. Or he's covering for Jamis who 322 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: might have thrown maybe three picks in some kind of 323 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: closed door team building exercise and now he's persona non 324 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: grata and all that stuff. But it's Brian day Ball 325 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: being Brian Dayball's he learned under Belichick, So it's hoodie cosplay. 326 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't have the championships and all that, 327 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: and just just say who the backup is.

I'm not there's seventy new 497 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: players or whatever it is on North Carolina's impossible to know. 498 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: But if North Carolina should win their next two games, 499 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: they play at Charlotte, that football powerhouse Charlotte, and then 500 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: they play Richmond, so they should be sitting at two 501 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: and one after three games, and then then they play 502 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: some tougher competition and so we'll see how it goes. 503 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: But you know, it's like, yeah, it's bad right now. 504 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: It's as you know, Andre, it's never as bad at 505 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: the lowest. So people think this is the worst. It's 506 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: never that bad. You're always better than you know. They're 507 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: not forty eight to fourteen bad. They'll play better. 508 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 5: As I say, it's in Buttsworth, candy and nuts. We 509 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 5: don't have a merry Christmas. And looking at the North 510 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 5: Carolina schedule, you're right, there's a lot of cup takes in. 511 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: There, all right. 512 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 5: But if if the Emperor has no clothes, that's what 513 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 5: I'm getting at here. Okay, we're you know, chapel Bill. 514 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 5: We're looking at him because his name is Bill Belichick 515 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 5: as if he was the former man. At all I'm 516 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 5: saying is step after step after step after step have 517 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 5: said this guy, you know has lost touch. 518 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: No listen, I hear you. But he does want to 519 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: go back to the NFL. He does. He went to 520 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: North carol I figured if he puts a good team 521 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: on the field at North Carolina, he can go and 522 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: you spend a year or two there, and then you know, 523 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: mid seventy five if he goes back to the NFL 524 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: to try to win, good luck on that. At this point, 525 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: it's not looking so good on I think you have 526 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: a better chance Andre of coaching the Patriots than Belichick 527 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: does of coaching in the NFL in general. 528 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 5: Look, thank you so much.

This is one Big Ben gets cracked. 659 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 6: Good bo DJ Hawkinson was able to play ten games 660 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 6: last season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL the 661 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 6: year before, but he didn't make much of an impact 662 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 6: had zero touchdowns. Hawkinson said he's one of the best 663 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 6: route running tight ends in the league and this year 664 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 6: he'll make a clear impact. 665 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 2: Ben. 666 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 6: Are you up or down on high? 667 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: Well? I think we should point he places for the 668 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings to play with the Lions for a long time. 669 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: He's been in Minnesota a little bit. It's important for 670 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings. And here's why. When things get tough in 671 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: Minnesota and who knows what JJ McCarthy's gonna do. They 672 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: think he'll be good. But normally the safety blanket is 673 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: the tie. So in order for this to work in Minnesota. 674 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: They need him to be good. So I am optimistic. 675 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm Benny Brightside. Hockinson will be okay next. 676 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 6: Tom Brady said in an interview on Sunday that the 677 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 6: league has shifted towards emphasizing physical attributes in a quarterback 678 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 6: rather than mental ones. 679 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: Is he right? Absolutely? It is all about they call him. 680 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: I hate this term measurables at the combine. It's all 681 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: about the raw and greed. It's it's like it's same 682 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: thing in baseball. Like baseball, if you can pitch, they 683 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: don't want you. If you can throw ninety eight miles 684 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: an hour and can't pitch, they want you. In football, 685 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 1: they want the biggest, strongest, fastest. But if you're actually 686 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: mentally sharp and know how to play the game, you 687 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: don't throw it that well, eh, or you're not as 688 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: strong e. 689 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 6: Next poll of NFL coaches and executives put Joe Burrow 690 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 6: as the leading candidate to win MVP this season. Meanwhile, 691 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson still has the best odds in Vegas. Who 692 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 6: do you think has the better shot? 693 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? So I like Burrow. The Bengals sucked last year. 694 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: They weren't a playoff team, the Ravens, have been consistently good. 695 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: There's also voter fatigue for Lamar Jackson. Even though he 696 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: didn't win last year, he has won multiple MVP Awards, 697 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 1: so he would have to go above and beyond to 698 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: win another one. I like Burrow. I don't like the 699 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: fact that everyone else kind of likes Burrow too. That 700 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: bothers me. That means that's probably not gonna happen. But 701 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: I would pick Burrow over Lamar. How did we do? 702 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: It's mallet of the third degree. He passes. That is 703 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: a win. I won. 704 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 2: I won the right up. 705 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: That's a win. Put that on my storecard, right down.
