8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: You see, what we thought was if Arizona lost, I

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: was gonna take the day off. If Oklahoma lost, Plank

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: was gonna take the day if we played the wrong opening.

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: There you go.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you know, they call you the

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: godfather of sports talk radio maybe like uh sports talk radio, Jesus,

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: because basically you've been around since the beginning of the

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: entire media.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And I bring it up.

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: Because I mean, this is the first time you got

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: some bragging rights over Chris Plank.

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Huh oh well, first of.

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: All, over anyone really when it comes to Arizona exactly.

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: Exactly, and Plank had asked for the night off way

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: before the game. I'm pretty sure he thought they were

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: gonna lose That's why I didn't do it. But I

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: guess him and his wife are going out for New Year,

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: So for Chris, get the night off. But yeah, can

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: you imagine how insufferable? I really couldn't be that much

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: insufferable because there's so much other stuff going on in

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: the in the sports world, you know what I mean.

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna ask you, we have to get

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: to a busy week seventeen in the NFL to saga

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: and I were on air for three hours after the

32
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: debacle last night in Dallas. But my question for you,

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: You've been telling me for years that all these playoff games,

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: that all these bowl games that aren't in the playoff

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: are meaningless. Was the twenty twenty three Alamo Bowl where

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: the Arizona Wildcats rallied for victory? Was that one meaningless?

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Aren't he just me?

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: It was the most important bowl game ever in the

39
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: history of bowl games.

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: As always, are honest about it.

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I wanted to know, most important bawl Ever,

42
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: what's wrong with you?

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: Okay?

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was to me too. I mean,

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: I literally everything else is pale in comparison. I literally

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: I rented the whole family a hotel. I said, stay away.

47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: It's Alamo night, Alamo Bowl night, Sweetie, I need my space.

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: Don't don't call me if Arizona loses. It was that

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 3: important in all of our households.

50
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, unbelievable. So yeah, i'll tell you Plank. Yeah,

51
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: And you know what, if he was here today, I

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: would give him a little bit of grief, but not

53
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: a lot because, like you said, we have week seventeen.

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: You were on the air last night, which was incredible.

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure for you guys must have been a little confusing.

56
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that a little bit. We have

57
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: to kind of clear up the playoff standings. I'm a

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: little confused on that. There's like one hundred ways the

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills can get in out tie this or that.

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: It's it's seriously, it's like half a page if you

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: printed it out, Torres, It's amazing. So we'll get to that.

62
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: Who saved this season?

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: Do?

64
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: What were you to say?

65
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: Now?

66
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: Obviously I'm gonna leave all the math up to you,

67
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: which I don't know if that's very good. Yeah, I

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: don't know if you got past like fifth grade, you know,

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: addition and subtraction. But I mean you look, especially in

70
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: the AFC, it just feels like with the Texans winning today,

71
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: the Steelers winning today, the Broncos winning today, it feels

72
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: like there's a lot going on. Again, I'm gonna leave

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: the math.

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: Up to you. We'll get to our final thoughts on

75
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: Dallas and Detroit to and now the officiating in that

76
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: game is so big on what happened yes today, that

77
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: is still looming, so we'll get to that a little bit. Also,

78
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: not to be I know, there's other topics like Jim

79
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Harbaugh signed with Don Yee, so that makes me feel

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: like he's going to the NFL. We got the semifinals tomorrow,

81
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: which you're gonna be on the air for, right, Am

82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: I correct? Done that or what that is?

83
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: Correct? Jason Martin and I will be on the Jason

84
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: Smith Show, So we will be on ten pm Eastern

85
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: to two am recapping everything. I'm actually gonna go to

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: the first I am going to the Rose Bowl. I'm

87
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: probably out of here. Well, I mean, I'm probably gonna

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: be able to stay for the first half. I live

89
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: not far from the Rose Bowl. We'll probably come home,

90
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: watch the second half at home and then come into studio.

91
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: But yes, Jason Martin and I will be on during

92
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: the Sugar Bowl and recapping everything else.

93
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: All right, we want to wish everybody a happy New Year. Look,

94
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: we know a lot of people. It seems like a

95
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: lot more people kind of curtailed it lately of the

96
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: last couple of years and stayed inside. So if you're

97
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: at home you're listening to the show, we'd like to

98
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: know where you're listening from, and you know, just stuff

99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: like that. So just go ahead and give us a tweet,

100
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: real something, Aaron underscore Torres, I'm instinking genius one. So

101
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: we certainly want to hear from you. You're big. You're

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: not a big New Year's guy, are you? You don't

103
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: go out party and all that stuff to you. No,

104
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: It's funny.

105
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: Somebody actually asked me, like, what's your craziest New Year's story?

106
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: And honestly, even when I was young, I mean I

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: did go to Times Square once. Yeah, I mean cool

108
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: to say you did once. But we could get into

109
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: that throughout the show, but little bit overrated. But even

110
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: when I was young, it wasn't a big crazy you

111
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: know all night. I mean, I mean I was definitely out,

112
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: you know, celebrating at midnight, But I don't remember any

113
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: crazy you know hang you know, the hangover, wake up

114
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: on a roof type thing, like, you know, like I

115
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: don't remember the hangover.

116
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I've done Vegas a couple

117
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: of times for New Years, sure, and it is a

118
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: tad bit overrated. Not that you yeah, not that you

119
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: don't have fun. Yes, it is crowded and the drinks

120
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: are flowing and pretty much it's free and all that

121
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: stuff out there. But once New Year's hit, it's like, okay,

122
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: now what, let's get back to gambling, you know what

123
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 2: I mean. Yeah, you pretty much drop everything and you

124
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: you go back to gambling. You go to the tables

125
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: and you're, you know, you're ready to put New Years

126
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: behind you, and you're like, this is gonna be my year.

127
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: Let me start gambling and see how much money I

128
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: could win for the year, you know what I mean.

129
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: That's funny, and I will say that is kind of

130
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 3: how Time Square is is like basically they herd you

131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: into like this this small area. You can't leave, can't

132
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: leave to go to the bathroom, get food, get drinks,

133
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: get whatever, because it's such a security threat. Oh geez,

134
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: and so they herd you into this area. The ball's

135
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: way in the distance, you can barely see it, and

136
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 3: at about eleven fifty nine and thirty seconds, you know,

137
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: you start the countdown, and then it's twelve o'clock, you know,

138
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: twelve oh one, and you're like, get me the heck

139
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: out of here. So very similar story there.

140
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: All right, we're obviously gonna get what happened to you

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: guys last night at the end of the game of

142
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: Detroit and Dallas. We'll get to that a little bit,

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: because it was a crazy week. Number seventeen. I want

144
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: to start with this, which was the most surprising game

145
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: of the day, at least in my opinion, where the

146
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals going to Philadelphia. They beat the Eagles thirty

147
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: five thirty one, and they were down what twenty to three?

148
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: Was it in this game? Were twenty one to six

149
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: or something like that at that time. Cardinals come on back.

150
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: What a debacle. A debacle? Remember Philadelphia lost three straight.

151
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: Then they beat the Giants, but they didn't do in

152
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: convincing form. Yes, and I believe when you filled in,

153
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 2: we did a show on Monday and we were talking

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: about that. We go is Philadelphia fixed. They were like, nah,

155
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: they're not fixed. Just because they beat the Giants by

156
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: eight points. They lose to the Cardinals. Now they're in

157
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: danger of not even winning the NFC East because if

158
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: the Cowboys win next week, the Cowboys will go ahead

159
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: and be the NFC East Divisional champs. How about that?

160
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: So a couple of things. One, yeah, and obviously that

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: loss makes last night's game that much more important. I

162
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: know we're gonna talk about it throughout the next three hours.

163
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: But just from the Philadelphia perspective, you know, you said

164
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: it was the most surprising result of the day, and

165
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: it was. I also don't feel like it was just

166
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: because Philly has been trending in the wrong direction for

167
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: a while now, I mean, oh yeah, yeah, And like

168
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: and by the way, they won a lot of close games.

169
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

170
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: They were beat up after that long stretch where they

171
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: played the Cowboys, the first time they played the Chiefs,

172
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: they played the Bills, whatever, they get destroyed by the

173
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, Okay, then they get embarrassed on Sunday

174
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: Night Football. They lose Monday Night Football. But as you said, Arnie,

175
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: even that Christmas Day game against the New York Giants,

176
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor comes in for Tommy DeVito. Like, I know,

177
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: they were up big in that game, and San excuse me,

178
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: New York kind of rallied, But I it wasn't the

179
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: convincing win that you wanted. So I just bring it

180
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: up to say, yes, it was surprising. I don't know

181
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: what the line was, but I'm sure Philly was an

182
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: overwhelming favorite. Arizona, of course, you know, not playing very

183
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: good football, But I don't know.

184
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: The thirteen Philadelphi was a thirteen point favorite in this game. Yeah,

185
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: how about that?

186
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I just with the way they've been playing,

187
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: I just don't know that. To me, it's that surprise.

188
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: It's that time of year. There's teams that are trending

189
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: in the right direction, like a Baltimore we're gonna get

190
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: to like whomever. And there are teams like Philly like

191
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: case that, in my opinion, you are trending in the

192
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: wrong direction, and Philly, even before tonight, felt like they were.

193
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: But with that said, there's no excuse for losing in

194
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 3: the matter they did today.

195
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: You know, even this may be faulty thinking, but as

196
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: soon as I saw that they had lost and I

197
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 2: was watching the end of that game. Also, I'm like,

198
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, this is just absolutely incredible. It wasn't

199
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: because I've kind of written Philadelphia off anyway. I'm like,

200
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: they have too many problems. They've lost three in a

201
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: row before the Giant game. That doesn't really make me

202
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: change my mind at all. So and now they're gonna

203
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: go ahead lose. Look at them struggling against Arizona. It

204
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: wasn't how bad it hurt Philadelphia. It was how much

205
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: it helped Dallas. Because now I'm thinking, hey man, Dallas

206
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: turns it around. They're playing it home, they can win

207
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: the NFC East. All of a sudden, they're a player

208
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: to go ahead and go to the Super Bowl. They

209
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: really benefit over the last what was it, twenty four

210
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: to forty eight hours after what happened to them again,

211
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: you know, in the Detroit game and between this game,

212
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they've got all new life.

213
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: How about that. Yeah, by the way, the say just

214
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: got in my ear. It is official. By the way,

215
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: your Dolphins will be playing these Sunday night game against

216
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: the Bills. So I just want to get that out. Oh,

217
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: I mean, are you gonna call out for that game?

218
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna have to fill in with plank. Is

219
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: that house is gonna work?

220
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: No, No, I feel good about that. I'm little word

221
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: only because the injuries, but I you know, I am.

222
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: We'll get to them. But I didn't I didn't mean

223
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: to take away from the Philadelphia stuff. But yeah, that's

224
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: an interesting game. A lot a lot of guys banged

225
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: up on your guys rosters.

226
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: It is. It's absolutely horrible, but it was also how good.

227
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: I meant to say how good it was for Dallas

228
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: because now Dallas when they play at home, no matter

229
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: who they play, they're so tough at home. When they

230
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: go on the road, it's a whole nother factor. They

231
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: can win this division and get a pretty good seed. Well,

232
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: you talk about a win for a team the Cowboys.

233
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Over the last twenty four to forty eight hours, they've

234
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: turned the whole season around.

235
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: And it's crazy. And to say you're can attest this,

236
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean we open the show, Arnie essentially on the

237
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: second down deep ball from dak when you know when

238
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: when Detroit only had once, I'm out left And the

239
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: first like fifteen to twenty minutes of the show was like,

240
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: what is Mike McCarthy doing he's the worst, They're gonna

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: lose it, blah blah blah blah blah. And then obviously

242
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: we know what happened from there, but it was so

243
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: crazy how it swung from Mike McCarthy is the biggest

244
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: dummy in the world to you know, Detroit then and

245
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: to segregate attest this too. Then we thought Dan Campbell

246
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: was a dummy because we thought that the penalty was legitimate.

247
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: And then he.

248
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: Decided to go for it on the seven. Yeah, he

249
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 3: decided to go for.

250
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous, right, I mean, that was insane. And then

251
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: after the.

252
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 5: Other penalty on the Dallas off side, he went for

253
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: the two again, even though it was only half the

254
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 5: distance to the goal, so from the three and a

255
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: half yard life he still went for two. Neither of

256
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 5: those does the analytics support you? By the way, They've

257
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 5: just announced also two NFL games this Saturday to end

258
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 5: the regular season, for the Colts hosting the Texans Saturday

259
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 5: night and for the Steelers at Baltimore Saturday afternoon. Steelers

260
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: have a chance for the final playoff spot in the

261
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: AFC this week.

262
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: Last weekend, and the game's meaning was for Baltimore right

263
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: there the SEGA.

264
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: They are clinched the one seed and also locked into

265
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: the three seed is KC and locked into the five

266
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: seed is Cleveland in the AFC.

267
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, hosting this Saturday show feels like

268
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: we've gotten a lot of Steelers and Colts the last

269
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: few weeks. It's like, you know, it's like on college football,

270
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: they put like UCF on a Friday night where it's

271
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: like they're sort of important, so like we'll put them

272
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: on TV, but they're not that important that no offense

273
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: that he's Steelers or Colts fans will see. But that's

274
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 3: what I feel like, I feel like we've gotten It

275
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: was two weeks Togo. I think we've gotten two Colts

276
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: games on Saturdays in the last three weeks. I couldn't

277
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: mistake it on that and the Steelers much the same.

278
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 5: So well after they won today, guys, you mentioned the

279
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: final Sunday night game next weekend is Buffalo at Miami.

280
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 5: Winner takes the AFC East. The way the Steelers get

281
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 5: the seven seed. The last playoff spot in the AFC

282
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 5: is next weekend. As Steelers win and a Buffalo loss.

283
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: You know what, the sega Buffalo if they lose. Did

284
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: you mention the Steelers winning Jacksonville wins, Buffalo's out of

285
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs, right, they get eliminated.

286
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 5: They would be ten and seven. Steelers would be ten

287
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: and seven. Jacksonville finally got a win, they would be

288
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: ten and seven.

289
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: Did within the division, and Buffalo would be on the

290
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: outside looking in.

291
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Cleveland's already locked into the five seeds, so

292
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: the battle is for the six and seven seeds below.

293
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: Them, and I don't think they would get it. Well,

294
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: they would be we would know.

295
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 5: In advance what Houston is doing because that's a Saturday

296
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 5: night game at Indy.

297
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: Well. I like that they have the Dolphin game Sunday night,

298
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: but are the injuries.

299
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 5: It's kind of like the Tampa Bay Division where there's

300
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: multiple teams going for the division crown, and whoever wins

301
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 5: a division gets one of the top four seeds regardless

302
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 5: of record, gets a home game as well for the playoffs.

303
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: You said you're excited about the Dolphins game in primetime,

304
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean, are you? I mean, if they if they show,

305
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: if they show up to the next Sunday like they

306
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 3: did this Sunday, yeah, I might be getting a call

307
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: from from Scottish.

308
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 5: Port against all the good teams this year, isn't the

309
00:13:59,440 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 5: right air.

310
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. It was twenty one to thirteen,

311
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: and to as a history, he does this all the time.

312
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: I've noticed it. He tries to get the playoff before

313
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: the two minute warning. It actually hit the two minute warning.

314
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: The play should have counted. It was twenty one to

315
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: thirteen at that point we go out even if we

316
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: get a field goal, to a whole another game in

317
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: the second half. Of course he gets the interception, they

318
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: score game over. So it wasn't just gonna go our way.

319
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 5: That wasn't case, you are correct, and that's been the

320
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: case a lot for Justin Herbert when he was healthy.

321
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 5: Let's hurry for when Brandon Staley was coaching for the

322
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: third down conversion, for the fourth down conversion, and they

323
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: hurry trying to catch the defense off. But they don't

324
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 5: have it together themselves.

325
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: No reason. There was no reason to do it. But

326
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: you wanted to run out clock, you wanted to go

327
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: down casehonon, you know, get a first down, and you

328
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: had to put the ball back or something to that effect.

329
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: And remember there was the drop touchdown pass by Tyreek CA.

330
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: It was still a close game in the first half

331
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 5: a Baltimore late first half was up fourteen thirteen.

332
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: That killed me. That killed me, absolutely destroyed me. So

333
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: monster games Sunday night, and I have to be on

334
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: the air for that. Is that? What's going I have

335
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: to be on the air for when the Dolphins quinch

336
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: the AFC East exactly how great is that?

337
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: I will skeep I will keep the phone lines open.

338
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: I expect a text from Scot Shapiro at seven thirty

339
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: if things go sour, if they go like they.

340
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Did today, not going sour, tell of the sega. The sega.

341
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: You should just say right now, Dolphins quinch the AFCs.

342
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: Because once again they've been so good against the good

343
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: teams this year.

344
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: They beat the Cowboys. Yeah, walk off field, go. I

345
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: mean they were literally down with ten seconds ago.

346
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 5: The Cowboys have been so good on the road this year.

347
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: They was a feather in your cap.

348
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

349
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: Well, the remember my pick was the Cowboys and the

350
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: Dolphins looking pretty good. If the Dolphins once theyquinched the

351
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: AFC's looking pretty good.

352
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 5: Didn't They beat the Patriots a couple times this year?

353
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 5: The Dolphins, Hey, there's two wins. What about that seventy

354
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: point game against Denver. That's another non playoff team, Carolina.

355
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 5: They got to play Carolina, the worst team in the league.

356
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 5: That's another win.

357
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: We've had some easy games. I'll be the first to

358
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: admit that.

359
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: Get to beat the Jets twice.

360
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,480

Speaker 2: about next week or the playoffs, to be honest with you,

390
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: because Arizona one dolmable yet No, no, because because I'm

391

Speaker 2: sure you saw this. If not, you could somebody just

392
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: tweeted it to me anyway, But I'm sure you saw

393
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: this to the Dolphins Ravens game, John Harbaugh dancing in

394
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: the locker room celebrating champagne or I don't know what

395
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: was champagne, but they were going crazy and stuff like that.

396
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: So they must have won the Super Bowl then, right,

397
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: is that is that why they're celebrating. I'm just curious.

398
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: Is that is that what this is? Is that their

399
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: celebration thence for I are they planning the parade now?

400
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: Because I and by the way, what a classy move

401
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: running it up on the Dolphins after the Dolphins had

402
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: a major injury with about two and a half minutes

403
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: left and he's throwing the ball, uh, to try to

404
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: get more points on the board. So congratulations.

405
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they you know, listen, they need the

406
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: style points. They might be left out of the playoffs.

407
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that college never mind, Yeah, exactly. You know,

408
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: I know you're being sarcastic. I'm trying to think of

409
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 3: a clever comeback. As far as John Harbaugh dancing, it'sulous.

410
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 2: Its actually ridiculous the way they were celebrating it really is.

411
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It's a joke. It's it's laughable

412
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: that I can't remember last time a NFL team celebrated

413
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: that hard, you know, for being a winning a division

414
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: or being a number one seed.

415
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: To be honest, let me ask you a question. So

416
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: you're an Arizona fan. I know we talket Arizona football,

417
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: Arizona basketball. They've won a pack twelve championship or two? Right, yes,

418
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: of course.

419
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen them cut down the nets when

420
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: they win a championship? A little bit different with college

421
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: kids professional college.

422
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you a question. You're what you're you're.

423
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: A Mets fan, I believe, yeah, yeah, I know.

424
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: It's been a while. But they went to the World

425
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: Series a few years ago, right, yeah, when they won

426
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: the NL, I don't think so.

427
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: No, there was not a lot of celebrating.

428
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: Even when they won the NL Series.

429
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: They maybe a little bit, you know, a little bit, dad,

430
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 2: I mean Aaron Jones, Jordan love chagn come on, did

431
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: not even winning a playoff game. This is because you're

432
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: gonna be a number one seed the season that's a playoff.

433
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 2: Let them enjoy themselves. Okay, go ahead, payback? So you

434
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: know what I want you to know that.

435
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: So you've never celebrated anything ever, is what you're saying.

436
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: Paybacks, So you know what, that's fine, Torres, if you

437
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: think it's up.

438
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: So you're saying so you're saying the Dolphins are gonna

439
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 3: lose next week and get them in the divisional round,

440
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: is what you're saying.

441
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: Let me tell you that there's like a fifty seven

442
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 2: percent chance of that happening. I saw that. I really

443
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't like that. I'd rather play Kansas City. But that's

444
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 2: fine if we played them at home. I'm okay with it.

445
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: We just got to worry about this weekend. That's all

446
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: morried about right now.

447
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question.

448
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: Over under a half a playoff win for Kansas City,

449
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: who would they have to see? Who they play? I

450
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: would probably one of eleven teams in the NFC or AFC.

451
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: I would probably go under right now. And I don't

452
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: have a lot of confidence in them. To you, no,

453
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 2: not at all.

454
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: That's why I ask. I mean you and I talked

Speaker 2: Torris I'm a stinking genius one. We're getting a lot

466
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: of them. Lewis said, Hey, stinking genius. I'm listening to

467
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: you guys from my home in Waterford, New York. I'm

468
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: a bummed out Viking fan. Happy New Year. Yeah, what

469
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: a crazy year for the Vikings. You lost your quarterback early,

470
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: then you went on a winning streak without Justin Jefferson.

471
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: I think you went like five and one. Jefferson comes

472
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: back and you go like one in five down the

473
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: stretchers or something to that effect. Who knows what's gonna

474
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: happen to him next year, But what a disupporting year

475
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: for the Vikings.

476
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: Weird year, and I think it's just gonna be interesting

477
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: in general as far as like what the next iteration

478
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: of that team looks like. Obviously, Kirk Cousins might not

479
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: be back, probably won't be back, you know, and you

480
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: look at him and the division is all of a

481
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: sudden so interesting. With the Bears playing better, what are

482
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: they gonna do Green Bay? Obviously, with the win tonight

483
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 3: is I don't want to say they're trending in the

484
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: right direction, because they hadn't been playing great football over

485
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: the last month or so. But you look at the

486
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: Vikings and all of a sudden, that division is so

487
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: different than it was a year ago when they won.

488
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: Detroit has arrived green Bay I think probably has their

489
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: young quarterball.

490
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: Green Bay has to do is win against a Chicago

491
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: in Green Bay and they go to the playoffs.

492
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. And Chicago's playing much better over

493
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: the last month or so too, So I just think

494
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: it's interesting how you can go from and I know

495
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: last year they won a million close games, whatever, but

496
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: what were they the.

497
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: Two seed in the playoffs? Last year they won the division?

498
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 3: I believe they were the two seed, and you know,

499
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 3: you go from that to now you're seven and nine,

500
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: And not only are you seven and nine, but you're

501
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: kind of entering a pseudo rebuild at a time when

502
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: the Bears appear to be ascending, where the Packers appear

503
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: to be at least as good as we could have

504
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: hoped for a year one of the Jordan Love era.

505
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: And obviously Detroit has arrived.

506
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: All right, Paul Bill's mafia obviously to us in Buffalo,

507
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: New York, was gonna go downtown for the ball drop

508
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 2: down there, but it's too old for stuff like that,

509
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 2: he said, I know what that means. I know how

510
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: that feels like Bill, A Happy New Year from Charlotte,

511
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: North Carolina, listening to the Godfather talking sports since nineteen

512
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: ninety eight. Oh man, I'm old, I'm old, Tour. That's

513
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: twenty six years for Cride out Loud.

514
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 3: You were you know, what was the original radio signal?

515
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 4: Like?

516
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 3: Can you explain how that happened? Did you have to

517
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: hold up a hangar for tatjoyl Yeah, nature boy, good thing.

518
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: Plank planning to be off tonight. I think he probably

519
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: missed the worst of verbal beat down imaginable from this

520
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: thinking genius. Based on what he said last Sunday, well,

521
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, he was like, there's there was no way

522
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: he thought that Arizona was going to do that. Tokahoma

523
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: and Oklahoma actually should have put that game away, and

524
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: the pick six turned it all around. Plank texted me

525
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: after the game. I could tell it was just eating

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: them away, you know what I mean. It was just

527
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: destroying him about that. You know, it was a wild game.

528
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: I was out to dinner, I know, I said that.

529
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: I sent the family away and I was in a

530
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: log cabin by myself watching because I needed the tranquility,

531
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: but the reality was I was out to dinner and

532
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: they were down. I want to say double digits, and

533
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: then I come back and they're up, and then obviously

534
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: they score that late rushing touchdown to seal the victory.

535
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: It was a wild game, all right. We got there's

539
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: screaming on the opening was the opening kickoff when New

540
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: England ran it back for a touchdown. I wasn't even

541
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,800

00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 5: ahead at halftime at home against the Cardinals twenty one

570
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,880

Speaker 5: thirty one. Kyler Murray three touchdown passes in the second half,

572
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760

00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: I hate when you do that.

621
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question, Arnie? Yes, the Sega

622
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: just reference. I know we have a million week seventeen

623
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: things to get to. Yes, but Seger did reference that

624
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears clinched the number one playoff or the

625
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 3: number one NFL draft pick via Carolina's loss today.

626
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: Correct.

627
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 3: Do you think they should go Caleb Williams or do

628
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: you think that they have their quarterback of the future

629
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: and they should go get something else or trade the pick.

630
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 2: I think they should go ahead, trade the pick, but

631
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: not you don't want to go too deep, too down,

632
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: too far, because you want to get Marvin Harrison Junior.

633
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: So you want to go down no further than forbe as.

634
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm assuming the first three picks will be the quarterback.

635
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: So who's the third quarterback?

636
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,239
Speaker 2: Daniels Fanshue. Yeah, I'm just that's just my guess. I

637
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: don't know one hundred percent on that. But I I

638
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: like him field, so I would keep him. I think

639
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: he's played real well. He's exciting, he's dynamic, he's only

640
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: getting better. I have my questions about Caleb Williams. I

641
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: just don't have him. I don't have him the next

642
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: all the be all like everybody else does out there.

643
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: And I know he doesn't play defense, so it's not

644
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: his fault. Well went on USC, but I just I

645
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: just got some questions. I think he's going to be

646
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: a good quarterback. I just don't know if he's gonna

647
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: be these you know, transitional type of quarterback everybody's making

648
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: him out to be. Why what do you think? Well?

649
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: I would take Caleb Williams for two reasons. One, I

650
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: do think he's really good. You know, obviously, I was

651
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: on air for so many of those games, and I

652
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: just think it was one of those deals where he

653
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: got a bad rap, like the game where he was

654
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: crying in the stands, like we were on air during

655
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: that game, right, and he literally left it all on

656
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: the face. He put up forty two points and like

657
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: six hundred yards of total offense and it wasn't enough.

658
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: And that was also the game that basically eliminated them

659
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: from the PAC twelve, from from pretty much everything anything meaningful.

660
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: And so I just sit there and say, is like,

661
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: I think he's that good. But then the other thing,

662
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: which is obvious too, is you get to restart the

663
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: quarterback clock. Now, I know, justin Fields, you could bring

664
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: him back on the short term thing and you know,

665
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: the fifth year option or whatever, so you have a

666
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: little bit of time with them, But I do I

667
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: just think you have the chance to restart that quarterback clock,

668
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: and you could also get something for Justin Fields too,

669
00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: which I think is important.

670
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 2: When you were on the air last night, did you

671
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: realize the officials had made a big mistake or when

672
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: did you realize they've made a big mistake in that

673
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: call in the in the Dallas Detroit game.

674
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean, disager can hop on in two I mean

675
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: my My personal takeaway was the first probably set it

676
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: the game went final, probably about eight twenty eight thirty

677
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: Pacific time or seven twenty eight thirty Pacific time, excuse me,

678
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: and probably the first half hour was talking about should

679
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell have just kicked the extra point after the penalty,

680
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: And then as time goes on, the video start to

681
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: come out, and then you see Dan Campbell go to

682
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: the podium, and Disaga and I were in the back

683
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: watching his press conference during one of our commercial breaks

684
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: to try to piece it all together. Thankfully Disaga was

685
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: on his p's and q's, because it took me a

686
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: minute to like fully process what was going on. And

687
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: then when you piece what he says, what Jared Goff says,

688
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: what Decker says, what the video tells you, and then oh,

689
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 3: by the way, you have the pool reporter eventually speak

690
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 3: with the referee himself. The last hour and a half

691
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: for the show was just taking calls reacting to what

692
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 3: was clearly controversy. But I would say it took us

693
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 3: about thirty thirty five minutes to fully understand what went on.

694
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: To Saga, I don't know if you would agree with that.

695
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was pretty brief press conference. He wanted

696
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: to walk out Dan Campbell. Yes, understandably, but they said,

697
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 5: what was the explanation. He said that the seventy reported

698
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 5: as eligible and sixty eight did not. The pass was

699
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 5: to sixty eight. The lineman who lined up at left

700
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: tackle faked blocking and then went open in the end

701
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 5: zone and it was a great play caught. The two

702
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 5: point conversion seemingly gave Detroit the lead. There was so

703
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 5: much to talk about, and still it was that blown

704
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 5: call by the referee Brad Allen at the end. That

705
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 5: was the bulk of the show last night. Yep, there

706
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 5: was so much to talk about because for starters, Jared

707
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 5: Goff threw an interception with two minutes to go. Right,

708
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: how about the field goal the Cowboys got, yes, twenty

709
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: to nineteen Dallas. And by the way, this was a

710
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 5: side note we did bring up. Do you remember how

711
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 5: awful the Cowboy kicker was in the playoffs last year? Yes,

712
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: Brett Maher missed what was it, four extra points in

713
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 5: the same playoff game. So they got a guy who

714
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 5: did not play college football as their kicker this year

715
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 5: in Dallas, and he's literally perfect. And Aubrey was a

716
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: soccer player at Notre Dame, not a football player at

717
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 5: Notre Dame. So he had to go ahead fuel goal

718
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: with under two minutes to go, and still you get

719
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: a golf to Saint Brown touchdown with under thirty seconds

720
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 5: to go. They had the perfect play. And as far

721
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: as the mechanics of what was happening, I think it

722
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 5: was NFL network that piece sticked together pretty quickly of

723
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 5: what happened, because seventies running from the sideline and it

724
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 5: looks like he's going to report sixty eight's coming in

725
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,479
Speaker 5: from the huddle to the ref and actually wants to

726
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 5: report that was the confusion.

727
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: And they weren't honest either about it. They were blaming

728
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: the players when it was really the officials.

729
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 5: And then during the show we got the Pool report,

730
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: where one Pro Football Writers Association reporter is allowed to

731
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 5: speak to the head referee and then give a transcription

732
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: of it out to the rest of the media. At

733
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 5: your right, he kind of as the previous show tonight

734
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 5: said Brad Allen doubled down on what went wrong.

735
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: That was my frustration, and you know, I get maybe, uh,

736
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: Brad Allen had not seen anything when he did the interview,

737
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 3: but I still stand by what I said last night,

738
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: which is that whether it's him, whether it's the NFL, like,

739
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 3: somebody has to come out and take accountability. Can't just

740
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: be no, this is what happened, because if you watch

741
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: the overhead video, Arnie, by the time seventy gets to

742
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 3: the little you know, pseudo huddle, they have Brad Allen's

743
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 3: already running to the defense, and so his.

744
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 5: To tell the defensive captain, hey, seventy reported incorrectly nice And.

745
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: So there's just no way that the facts that he

746
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 3: presented could have happened the way that he says they did.

747
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: And so I just bring it up because this isn't

748
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 3: one that I think and especially by the way, because

749
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: now the playoff implications have changed, and I know you

750
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: referenced this earlier, but with the Eagles losing today, the Lions,

751
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: if they had one, would have been in position to

752
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 3: get the number two seed next week.

753
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: Well, we'll get to that. We got a lot to

Speaker 5: be Matthew Stafford in Detroit for the playoffs.

Speaker 3: Caleb Williams analysis right now. One happy New Year about

775
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: buddy Nick Coffee. Two interesting, How I need to say

776
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: anything about you? This isn't what about you.

777
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, neither was he being sarcastic about you, though

778
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 2: maybe it was being.

779
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: Was brilliant analysis and is lying to you. Who's this

780
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: old man that you're working with?

781
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, that's that's probably more true. Colin says,

782
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 2: let's think of genius. Any chances your wife will Jordan

783
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: the show next Sunday night to help Plank deal with

784
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: your craziness if the Dolphins lose. My wife's a big

785
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: bills fans, I'm afraid to put her on the air,

786
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: but because sometimes she curses like a drunken sailor, so

787
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 2: I'm afraid of that, you know what I mean. She'd

788
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: use up our seven second delay in like two minutes.

789
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if if I was, you know, if

790
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: I spent my entire life with you, I'd probably be

791
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 3: a little angry at the world too. But that's neither

792
00:36:59,400 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 3: here nor there.

793
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: Mister Nobody says that the Steelers want to have his

794
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: shot at the playoffs, leave picking on the bench. It

795
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: figures Arnie would pick Dallas and Miami as the Super

796
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: Bowl teams. Both are soft, as Sharman, and also, I

797
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 2: don't believe in Kansas City, even with Kansas City winning today, Torres,

798
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm I don't buy them whatsoever. If the Dolphins had

799
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: to go to Kansas City, I still feel pretty confident

800
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: about that. He should.

801
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean it's tough, it's it's you know,

802
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 3: they haven't played well on the road Miami. They obviously

803
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 3: had be a cold weather game. Whatever. But I also

804
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: just don't buy the Chiefs. I mean, it's just it

805
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: is what it is. More drop passes today they end

806
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: up winning, but come on, I mean it's Jake Browning.

807
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: So I am not. I am a seller on Kansas

808
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 3: City much more than a buyer.

809
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: Steve says he's listening in Peoria, Arizona, celebrating Stafford's win

810
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: over my Arizona Wildcats. I knew I didn't like that

811
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: guy for for some reason, that that was a debacle,

812
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: that was a beatdown. I don't know what's wrong with

813
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: my Wildcats lately.

814
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 3: Well, the good news is you're the only person in

815
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: America that gets packed twelve networks. So if if you

816
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: just hadn't read that tweet, yeah yeah, yeah.

817
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: Julian said, Hey, Arnie work, I'm at work listening to

818
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: you guys tonight. Thanks for keeping me company happy New

819
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: Year a lot. You know, New Year is not the

820
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: holiday Christmases. Obviously people work on New Year's There's not

821
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: a lot of businesses closed, to be honest, tomorrow or

822
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: today tomorrow on the first. Uh yeah, I.

823
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: Don't know if i'd say that. I mean, I feel

824
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: like most people I know have the day. I mean,

825
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 3: tomorrow is a Monday. But now I feel like most

826
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 3: people have the day off now. Like I'll give you

827
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: an example, my wife had the Friday before Christmas off.

828
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: She did not have this past Friday off.

829
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, you don't get the day

830
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 3: before the day after, but I think you get the

831
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 3: day of right, Well.

832
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 2: You know, I guess it depends, but a lot.

833
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: It also depends on the business too. If you're a restaurant,

834
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 3: you're probably open. You're not open on Christmas Day, you

835
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: are open on New Year's Day. But like businesses and offices,

836
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 3: I feel like most people aren't working New Year's Day.

837
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

838
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: Nick says Lamar has a one in three playoff record.

839
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Last time the Ravens had home field advantage in twenty nineteen,

840
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 2: they lost twenty eighth to twelve in their first playoff game. Yeah,

841
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: so Pump pump the breaks on the whole Harba, let

842
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: me dance like we just won our third super Bowl

843
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: in a row because we got the number one seed.

844
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: So pump the breaks there, Tarez.

845
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 3: This might also be something for hour two and hour three,

846
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: But do we feel like the Ravens have to make

847
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: a run this year? I mean, you look at the

848
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 3: way things are setting up. Case's down, No, Joe Burrow,

849
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is hurt. No, justin Herbert like it kind

850
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 3: of feels like, you know, Lamar, He's got a lot

851
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: of criticism for the playoff stuff. Everything is like and

852
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: they're playing well right now too. It's not like they're

853
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 3: limping in the playoffs like they're Philly or somebody right

854
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: right right. Feels like this is the year they got

855
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: to make a little bit of a run.

856
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean you talk about getting the advantage. They're

857
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: the only team in the AFC that will get the

858
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: bye week, they got the number one seed. Kansas City

859
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: is certainly having a down year. Miami's got some injuries.

860
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's win win of them. If

861
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 2: they don't go to at least to Super Bowl, then

862
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: it was a disappointing year and they got the MVP.

863
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: All well, cook cook our one in the books. Dude.

864

00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 4: Now?

971
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: You're I don't even want to get to all right,

972
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: let's go, Yes, we got yeah, we got a lot

973
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: to get to. Obviously, it was a busy week in

974
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: the games. Today's so again, like if you want to

975
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 2: get an air underscore Torres. I'm itstinking genius. One kind

976
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: of just want to go through some of the games today,

977
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: like my Dolphins and the Ravens. First of all, just

978
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: a couple of things about the Dolphins. They've got so

979
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 2: many injuries it's not even funny. First of all, why

980
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: is Chubb in the game when you're down by like

981
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 2: thirty points? I thought about that, Yeah, what is wrong

982
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: with you?

983
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: Mike mcdans supposed to be smart Ivy League.

984
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: He looks like I always say, he looks like a

985
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: chemistry teacher or a tutor, and he's just and I

986
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: was thinking, please, I wanted him to take two out

987
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: of the game with about five minutes left in the

988
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 2: third so he didn't get hurt. And we're just banged

989
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: up like crazy. Mostert was hurt, Watta was hurt, Our

990
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: center got hurt, Xavier went down, he got hurt just

991
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: early in the game. And then that happens with Chubb

992
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 2: and was in ACL So what a colossal screw up

993
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: by having him in the game, and it was there's

994
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: a non contact injury on that horrible.

995
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, listen, I'm far from you know. I

996
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 3: don't claim to be, you know, an expert on any

997
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination on a lot of these things.

998
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: But it's just so common sense. You can't have those

999
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 3: guys out there late. Bradley Chubb goes down, as you said,

1000
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 3: Xavian Howard, all that Jalen Wattle we know is banged up,

1001
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 3: Like you have so much to play for, not only

1002
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: next week, arning but this is still a team. Maybe

1003
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: I'm the only one, but I feel like they are

1004
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 3: still capable of making a run when they get to

1005
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 3: the playoffs. And I know there's oh, you know how

1006
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 3: many places. You know, they don't win big games on

1007
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 3: the road, and they don't beat great teams, and da

1008
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 3: da dah. I still think you get that offense, especially

1009
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 3: if you win the division, you get one home game,

1010
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 3: maybe two, depending on how things break. It's like, I

1011
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: still think you have so much to play for, and

1012
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 3: to have those guys in late, especially Chubb, I just

1013
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 3: thought it was weird and it just it shouldn't happen,

1014
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: no excuses, All.

1015
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 2: Right, Let's get to Lamar Jackson. He was nothing short

1016
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 2: of tremendous. Okay, agree, Let's just not mince words with this.

1017
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: This is the reason why he's going to be the MVP.

1018
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: Eighteen to twenty one three and twenty one yards, five touchdowns,

1019
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 2: no interceptions, a QB rating of one P fifty eight

1020
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 2: point three, which is that's gotta be perfect. I don't know,

1021
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't know you. I don't know if you can

1022
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: have a better game than that. I mean, it was

1023
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: absolutely disgusting than the numbers need put up there and

1024
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 2: these one handed catches that were making all over the place.

1025
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, first of all, does that clinch the MVP

1026
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 2: for him? And what did you think about that performance today?

1027
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it does probably clinch the MVP,

1028
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 3: especially because by the way, I mean, San Francisco clinched

1029
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: the one seed, so they're probably not going to be

1030
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 3: playing anybody of significance next week. Any you know, it's

1031
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 3: not like, you know, it's not like, uh, you know,

1032
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 3: McCaffrey's going to go for two hundred and eighty yards

1033
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: rushing and twelve catches, right. So I just bring it

1034
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: up because to me, I think it did. I was

1035
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 3: somebody that I didn't necessarily think that he shouldn't be

1036
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 3: the MVP, but I thought the narrative went from you know,

1037
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 3: it felt like last week, it was McCaffrey, it was Purty,

1038
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: and then it was you know, Lamar was probably number three.

1039
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 3: And so I thought, just one game, I thought maybe

1040
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 3: maybe it was a little bit much, maybe you know,

1041
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 3: maybe we needed to wait and see over these final

1042
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: few weeks. But when you put up the performance that

1043
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: he did in San Francisco on Christmas Night with the

1044
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 3: performance today against the Miami Dolphins, who obviously were in

1045
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 3: second place, he's playing for a division title. It's not

1046
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 3: only that he has been phenomenal, it's that he's playing

1047
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 3: his best football when it matters the most. Credit to him.

1048
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 3: And yes, I think he did wrap up the MVP today.

1049
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 2: So now the narrative is, oh, remember last year in

1050
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: the contract, the problems and that he even can I

1051
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: say something really quick, ARNI, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1052
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 3: The dumbest Okay, So I think you know, listen, there's

1053
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 3: there's all sorts of things that I can agree or

1054
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 3: disagree with or whatever. What I don't like is people

1055
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: just making up their own facts. Okay, all right, And

1056
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: why I bring it up. The dumbest narrative that I

1057
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 3: saw over the last couple of days, especially following that

1058
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 3: great Monday night Christmas day performance was well, I mean

1059
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 3: a year ago, you could anyone in the league could

1060
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,240
Speaker 3: have had Lamar Jackson and blah blah blah blah blah.

1061
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: Can I say this, Arnie, not true, but go ahead,

1062
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: thank you.

1063
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 3: Just because you demand a trade doesn't mean Lamar Jackson

1064
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 3: was ever getting traded, Okay. And that was the reporting

1065
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: at the time, you know, like like I don't know,

1066
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 3: I don't even know what else to say, Like that

1067
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 3: was the reporting at the time.

1068
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 2: There was never any real thought that I remember that

1069
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: there was some animosity there. There was between him and

1070
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: between the team and also between fans because because of

1071
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 2: what his mom was doing the contract negotiations. So there

1072
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 2: was there was he was getting from all sides there.

1073
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that, no doubt. And so.

1074
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like so listen, I understood. And by

1075
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: the way, let's also remember the context of a year ago.

1076
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 3: It was a second straight season when he was banged

1077
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: up down the stretch. It's not saying he wasn't a

1078
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 3: great player whatever, but second straight season when he was

1079
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 3: banged up down the stretch. You know, he was asking

1080
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 3: for essentially the most guaranteed money in the history of

1081
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 3: the sport because Deshaun Watson got a bunch of money

1082
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah, this and that, and it's

1083
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: like again, context matters, and so he's banged up, you know,

1084
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 3: back to back years, and I just bring it up

1085
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 3: because like that was the context of the moment. It's

1086
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 3: easy to say now that he's healthy and playing like

1087
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: an MVP and a deserving MVP. For people are gonna say, oh,

1088
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: you just don't like Lamar Jackson. No, I love Lamar

1089
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 3: Jackson's the most unique player in football. But I just

1090
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 3: bring it up to say, like, like, like at that

1091
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: moment when they were when there was real hostility in that,

1092
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 3: you know, between him and Baltimore, you gotta remember what

1093
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 3: was going on. As you said, doesn't have an agent,

1094
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 3: mom is negotiating. He's asking for the most guaranteed money

1095
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: in a second straight season when he isn't healthy down

1096
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 3: the stretch. And so that was where the Ravens frustration

1097
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 3: came in. Obviously, Lamar felt, you know, however, he felt

1098
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 3: and thought that he deserved whatever he deserved. I'm not

1099
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 3: here to criticize him and say he didn't deserve Xyz.

1100
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: He deserved whatever they were willing to pay him, and

1101
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 3: what they were willing to pay him was a lot

1102
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 3: of guaranteed money. But this idea that you know that

1103
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 3: like like any team in the league could have just

1104
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 3: traded a third round pick and got Lamar Jackson is

1105
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 3: so dumb and it just drives me crazy that people

1106
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 3: can't contextualize things in real time.

1107
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 2: Well, Paul Bel's Mafia, there's people like this that says

1108
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson should not get the MVP sixteenth and passing,

1109
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 2: fifteenth in touchdowns giving to him because he has a

1110
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 2: great team around him is ridiculous. Does that's not matter

1111
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 2: on that? Yeah, you had good stats today, but does

1112
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 2: that bother you that he's sixteenth in passing and fifteenth

1113
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: in touchdowns?

1114
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 3: Two different things here. One I will say this was

1115
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 3: another thing I was surprised by when everyone came out

1116
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: of Monday immediately defaulting to well, I mean Lamar Jackson's VP,

1117
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 3: Like if you watch the forty nine Ers game, which

1118
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: obviously I know you did, Arnie, but I'm saying, you

1119
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 3: know the metaphorical you. It was the defense that, like

1120
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 3: I came out of Monday Night last week Christmas Night,

1121
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers, Raven saying, oh my goodness, Like I

1122
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 3: knew statistically that was the best defense in the NFL,

1123
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,479
Speaker 3: I didn't realize how good they were until I saw

1124
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 3: them in that San Francisco game. So I bring it

1125
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 3: up because even coming out of that game, I felt

1126
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 3: like the defense deserved more credit. But the counter to

1127
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: that is, if you're not gonna give it to Lamar,

1128
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 3: who are you going to give it to? And my

1129
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 3: other thing I was gonna say really quick, and I'm

1130
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 3: one of those people, I do believe if you are

1131
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 3: gonna put the word value in most valuable player, and

1132
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 3: you and I have argued about this for years, then

1133
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: you have to give it to the most valuable player.

1134
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 3: And I think them clinching the number one seed, them

1135
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 3: being the number one seed in the AFC. And by

1136
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: the way, he has less help than Brock Purdy, you

1137
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 3: know whatever, And we can do the Brock party Christian McCaffrey,

1138
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: angle on it if you want, but I do think

1139
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 3: he is the MVP, even despite the statistical whatever.

1140
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 2: You know, you're probably right on that because it doesn't

1141
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: seem like, you know, it seems a little different than

1142
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: from Mike a week or two ago when we had

1143
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: like a two or three or four person race. It

1144
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 2: really feels like because of this game today, he's distanced himself.

1145
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: And that's kind of crazy when you have to wait

1146
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 2: till what week seventeen to go ahead and figure out

1147
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: who the MVP. I mean, it's been good talk about

1148
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 2: who should go ahead and get it. But with that

1149
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: performance stable Lamar Jackson, Noah fans or buts about it.

1150
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: But you were right when you said this earlier talk

1151
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 2: about having pressure on you. He's got all the pressure

1152
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: in the world. Now he's got to take him to

1153
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. He's really got to win it, but

1154
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 2: he's at least got to get there Torres. Otherwise, the

1155
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 2: whole season's a failure.

1156
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 3: I don't know that I agree with that, but I.

1157
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: Why will of course it's a failure saying to say, oh, great,

1158
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 2: we won one playoff game, so we got a bye

1159
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 2: week and then we lose that. That's not gonna cut

1160
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 2: it again. That's not a successful year, I will say.

1161
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: I don't.

1162
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, what I will say is this, the

1163
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 3: Ravens will never have an easier path than this year.

1164
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: And we talked about it last hour. Joe Burrow's hurt

1165
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert is hurt and he didn't have a real

1166
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 3: coach this year. Whatever, Trevor Lawrence is banged up, he'll

1167
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 3: play if they get into the playoffs. But whatever the

1168
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs will, I don't believe will ever be

1169
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 3: this bad again. As long as Patrick Mahomes is healthy,

1170
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 3: they'll figure out the receiving corps, they'll be better. The

1171
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 3: defense is there. Maybe Travis Kelcey isn't part of the

1172
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: next iteration, but I think they're going to bounce back.

1173
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: So to your point, one thing, I will say, I

1174
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 3: do think that the path will never be easier, especially

1175
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 3: as you said, now that they have officially clinched that

1176
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: number one seed.

1177
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 2: It is, And you're right, Dee. The other teams, I mean,

1178
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 2: you look at the Dolphins, they may drop down and

1179
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 2: they're not even gonna win the division. You know how

1180
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: the Dolphins lost to the Cowboys. There's a chance that

1181
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 2: if they lost to the Bills they wouldn't make the

1182
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 2: playoffs either. How about that one more time, had they

1183
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: lost to the Cowboys, they would have been in a

1184
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 2: position to been eliminated from the playoffs. If they lost

1185
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: to the Bills in the final weekend, so they wouldn't

1186
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 2: even have made the damn playoffs, Miami. They didn't pull

1187
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 2: that game out, Miami.

1188
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 3: If they had lost to Dallas last week and then

1189
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 3: lost to the Bills next week, they would not have

1190
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: made the playoffs. No, wow, yeah, I got Bills.

1191
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: Will you know what? The Bills won't make the playoffs

1192
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: if they lose to the Dolphins, is that right? Well,

1193
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 2: if Pittsburgh wins, which I think they will, and if

1194
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 2: Jacksonville wins, which I think they will, of course you

1195
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: never know, okay, so both, Yeah, then the Bills will

1196
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 2: be eliminated if they lose to the Dolphins.

1197
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 3: So for people who are at home and can't follow,

1198
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 3: there are three teams in the AFC South with nine

1199
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 3: wins Jacksonville, Houston, and Indy. Pittsburgh is nine and seven,

1200
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 3: Buffalo is ten and six, so if Buffalo loses in

1201
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 3: a couple of those teams win, they could get bounced.

1202
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 3: And to your point, Miami, obviously, if they had lost

1203
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 3: last week, they'd be sitting at ten and six right now,

1204
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 3: but they didn't, so they'll be in the playoffs even

1205
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 3: if they lose to Buffalo, right, Yeah, there's no way they.

1206
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 2: Would if Miami loses, they'll probably have to go to

1207
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,399
Speaker 2: Kansas City for a first round matchup. How great would

1208
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: that Tyreek Hill going back to Kansas City to take

1209
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 2: on the Chiefs. How great of a mess this?

1210
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 3: We could get some really fun matchups between Tyreek Hill

1211
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 3: in Kansas City Matt Stafford in Detroit. You know, there's

1212
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 3: just a lot of it. By the way, I wouldn't

1213
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 3: hate to see Buffalo Kansas City again if that's how

1214
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 3: it breaks. I don't know if I don't know what

1215
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 3: would have to happen for that to happen, but that

1216
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 3: would be pretty cool as well.

1230
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: are happy to get out of twenty twenty three. This

1231
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 2: is gonna be a wild playoff. I could see that already, Torres.

1232
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be nutty because San Francisco to Baltimore.

1233
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 2: If that's not gonna be the matchup, somebody's pulling off

1234
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 2: some major upsets because right now they're probably the overwhelming favorite.

1235
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 3: I would say so, especially in the AFC. You know

1236
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 3: we've talked about it is the idea that it looks

1237
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 3: like so tough on paper and now basically everyone of

1238
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 3: consequence except for Lamar Jackson and really too ironically enough

1239
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 3: for hurt.

1240
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: So interesting times. I want to get to our guest

1241
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: joining Ustyle. You can check them out on bet the

1242
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 2: Board podcast. Joins us every Sunday. It's our buddy, Todd Furman.

1243
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 4: How you doing, Todd, I'm doing very well, gentlemen. Happy

1244
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 4: and healthy New Year to the two of you.

1245
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 2: Aaron.

1246
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 4: I know it's a few hours in coming, aren't. I'm

1247
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 4: glad you've decided to put the adult beverages on the

1248
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 4: side and partake in all of this fun in Shenanigan

1249
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 4: passing midnight out there on the East coast.

1250
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, Todd, you're out in about in Vegas.

1251
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 2: Does everything triple out New Year's Eve for food and

1252
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: drinks and everything?

1253
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 4: Or what it is? If you go to the tourist

1254
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 4: drafts in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard, if you

1255
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 4: know some of the local spots, you pay a little

1256
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 4: bit more like you do in every city, but it's

1257
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 4: not quite the same price gouging that you grow accustomed to.

1258
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 4: But hey, look, the bottom line is anyone who's never

1259
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 4: been to Las Vegas for New Years and done the

1260
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 4: strip when they shut everything down, it should be on

1261
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 4: the bucket list. Do it once, say you've done it,

1262
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 4: and never do it again.

1263
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was telling tourres did after twelve o'clock, people like, Okay,

1264
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 2: what do we do now? Let's gamble? So everybody runs

1265
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 2: back to the tables. But Todd, the casinos they must

1266
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: have made a fortune today, because I think the gamblers

1267
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 2: lost a lot of money, especially in that Philadelphia game.

1268
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's always interesting when you get a double

1269
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 4: digit underdog to win out right, it typically blow off

1270
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 4: a lot of the teasers and some of the money

1271
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 4: line parlay liability that's out there. And to see Arizona

1272
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 4: do that in somewhat in probable fashion, really shift that

1273
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 4: NFC East race completely around. With the Cowboys big win

1274
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 4: last night against the Lions, it changes the dynamic. Now

1275
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 4: that being said, Arnie, as you know, it's never a

1276
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 4: great thing for the books when you see a favorite

1277
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 4: or at least a public side along with the over

1278
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 4: coming on Sunday night football. So folks that were down

1279
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 4: and out earlier in the day found themselves chasing with

1280
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 4: Green Bay and over So that definitely set up well.

1281
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 4: And I have to imagine a lot of that liability

1282
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: for the books will go straight into the Alabama Crimson

1283
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 4: tide in the Rose Bowl tomorrow at five o'clock Eastern.

1284
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 3: So I want to ask you about college football, Todd.

1285
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 3: First of all, Tod, great to talk to you, man,

1286
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 3: it's been a while. But before I do, I did

1287
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 3: want to ask you about last night. I mean, I

1288
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 3: don't know what the spread was coming in, but what

1289
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 3: was just the general Vegas twist on obviously a debacle,

1290
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 3: a refereeing debacle from the NFL in this sports gambling era.

1291
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's always unfortunate when you see something like

1292
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 4: that unfold last night's game, though, given some of the

1293
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 4: decisions really didn't have an implication on the spread or total.

1294
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 4: That over underclosed at fifty three, So that dynamic didn't change.

1295
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 4: What it did is it allowed the Lions to march

1296
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 4: in the back door. They closed anywhere from four and

1297
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 4: a half to five point underdogs, But the missed call

1298
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 4: on two point conversion. You don't see a lot of

1299
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 4: money shift hands other than some of the money line stuff.

1300
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 4: The bigger implication that it does have is on the

1301
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 4: NFC East futures, where the Dallas Cowboys were as much

1302
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 4: as six and a half or seven to one earlier

1303
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 4: of the year, when it looked like the Eagles were

1304
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 4: going to run away and hide. But I think to

1305
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 4: your point, Aaron, I mean, when you look at the

1306
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 4: dynamic here, as soon as people begin to question the

1307
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 4: integrity of the officiating and they think something the ferrious

1308
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 4: is going on, even without gambling implications, there is no

1309
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 4: doubt a heightened sensitivity to all of those things unfolding

1310
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 4: on a stage that large.

1311
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 2: DoD What do you think of next week with the

1312
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: Dolphins and the Bills. It's the Sunday night game. Bills

1313
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: came out what is a as a two point favorite,

1314
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 2: which side will get most of the money?

1315
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 4: You know that number actually has been met up to three, Arny,

1316
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills closes

1317
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 4: more than a field goal favorite there. Unfortunately, for your Dolphins,

1318
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 4: they are an absolute mash unit right now. I mean

1319
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 4: Bradley Chubb, but with the injury to his knee, that

1320
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be shelled for the remainder

1321
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 4: of the regular season. However, that I should say the

1322
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 4: remainder of the season for the Dolphins. You look at

1323
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 4: Tua who left that game with a shoulder injury, his

1324
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 4: status very much up in the air. And this was

1325
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 4: a Dolphins team that, if they were healthy, had so

1326
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 4: much promise in what I think is a somewhat muddled

1327
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 4: AFC picture behind just the Baltimore Ravens. Now, it's a

1328
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 4: little bit of an uphill battle. But for all those

1329
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 4: folks that want to clamor about the Bills being the

1330
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 4: team that nobody wants to play. Just look at the

1331
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 4: last two data points that they've put forth. We're fortunate

1332
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 4: to get through the Chargers last week in a little

1333
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 4: bit of a flat spot, and even this week when

1334
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 4: you think they're going to put it all together with

1335
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 4: revenge on their mind against the Patriots, I mean, they

1336
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 4: were fortunate to get out of that game with a

1337
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty one win, meeting turnovers from Bailey

1338
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 4: Zappian Company. So I think this AFC, other than Baltimore,

1339
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 4: it's anyone's guess who the second best team is right now,

1340
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:57,959
Speaker 4: but clearly a lot to play for Sunday night, because

1341
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: if things break the wrong way for Buffalo, not only

1342
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 4: will they be fighting to win the division, but they

1343
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 4: could find themselves on the outside of the AFC playoff

1344
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 4: picture looking in if they were to get upset.

1345
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 3: So, Toddy, you mentioned the college football playoff tomorrow. So

1346
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 3: I find the narrative, especially around Alabama Michigan interesting in

1347
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: that I have yet to see really anybody, you know,

1348
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 3: except for me if you want to call myself, you

1349
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: know whatever. But like, I haven't really heard anybody make

1350
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 3: the argument that Michigan's gonna win. Like every single quote

1351
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 3: unquote expert is picking Alabama that I have seen. Now,

1352
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 3: maybe I'm missing some, but I bring it up because

1353
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 3: tell me if I'm wrong. It doesn't feel like the

1354
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 3: line has moved much, if at all. Just what is

1355
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 3: the vibe around this game, because I, like I said,

1356
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 3: it just feels like for it's a very public underdog,

1357
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 3: I guess is the best way to put it.

1358
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And you're talking to someone that is

1359
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 4: invested in Michigan, so you and I are shared. Let's go,

1360
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 4: Marl Torrez if you have a bet on the wolverineshihlate

1361
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 4: of price the right around of minus a dollar twenty

1362
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 4: and minus a dollar fifteen on Michigan. And I think

1363
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 4: a lot of the points that you make there make

1364
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 4: a ton of sense. I mean, everyone believes Alabama should

1365
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 4: be favored in this game, that Michigan is fortunate to

1366
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 4: be in this spot. Recency bias is such a thing

1367
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 4: in the college football playoffs. If people forget that it

1368
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 4: was a fourts and thirty one conversion at jord and

1369
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 4: Hair against an Auburn team that got absolutely obliterated by

1370
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 4: Maryland yesterday, that somehow Alabama is this juggernaut you don't

1371
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 4: have NFL caliber talent at wide receiver. Jalen Milroe has

1372
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 4: been a great story and his maturation at the position

1373
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 4: has been outstanding. But this isn't an Alabama team cut

1374
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 4: from the same cloth of teams in the past. And

1375
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 4: when you look at Michigan, I think their late season

1376
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 4: scores are a little bit misleading, knowing that JJ McCarthy

1377
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 4: dealt with an ankle injury, we didn't see any of

1378
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 4: that mobility in his legs. But the biggest question that

1379
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 4: Michigan's going to have to address can that offensive line

1380
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 4: hold up better than it didn't pass protection against Iowa

1381
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 4: in the Big Ten Championship And exactly what kind of

1382
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 4: game plan can they put together, because it's part of

1383
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 4: it as narrative. But at the same time, there's legitimate

1384
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 4: concern about coach Harball. That's owed six straight up and

1385
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 4: ats the last six bowl games. And we saw Michigan

1386
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 4: on this stage last year against PCU ill equipped to

1387
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 4: get off the field defensively while they were prolific on

1388
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 4: the offensive side, just couldn't get a stop when they

1389
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 4: needed it. But I think this Michigan team feels different.

1390
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 4: So I'm right there with you. I think Michigan finds

1391
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 4: a way to knockoff Bam and cover that short number

1392
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 4: in the process.

1393
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 3: Well, and Todd one quick thing, so I saw you

1394
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 3: take heat for something that I said as well. So

1395
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: I was on air Friday night with Jason Martin during

1396
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: the Ohio State debacle. But one thing I said was,

1397
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 3: you know, everyone keeps telling me, you know, well, I mean,

1398
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 3: how can is Michigan gonna be able to It's like

1399
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 3: they've played some really good defenses, and as bad as

1400
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 3: that Ohio State offense was on Friday night for about

1401
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 3: three and a half quarters till they just got worn

1402
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: down from not being able to get off the field,

1403
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 3: that defense was great. Obviously, Iowa's defense is great. Penn

1404
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,439
Speaker 3: State was statistically until yesterday. I think that's another part

1405
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 3: is like we make fun of the Big ten offenses,

1406
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 3: and probably justifiably so, but three of the last four

1407
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 3: games they faced really good defenses.

1408
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. And I think that's going to be

1409
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 4: the one question that everyone will watch. I mean, people

1410
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 4: talk about the Michigan offensive line that's going to have

1411
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 4: its own problems, Zags enter in the middle, but this

1412
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 4: Alabama defense, in my opinion, not nearly as good from

1413
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 4: one through eleven as what Michigan faced in Ohio State

1414
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 4: and Iowa and the last two data points that we

1415
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 4: have on the Wolverine schedule. Now, if Michigan can build

1416
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 4: a lead and JJ McCarthy can build some confidence, it'll

1417
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 4: benefit them much more than if they're playing from behind.

1418
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 4: But I think this was a down year from top

1419
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 4: to bottom. When you look at the SEC and to

1420
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 4: your point airon, you look at Missouri's fourteen three win.

1421
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 4: If Ohio State has their full complement of weapons, they

1422
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 4: don't get worn down in that spot, and I think

1423
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 4: Missouri finds it extremely difficult to even break through for

1424
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 4: those two touchdowns. The Penn State Old miss game, You

1425
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 4: know that for me is a little bit of an outlier.

1426
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 4: When you look at how things played out for Penn State,

1427
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 4: Drew lar can't really stretch the field. We knew that

1428
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 4: the vertical passing game had been absent for Penn State.

1429
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 4: You're playing without your top offensive lineman, lineman and Ola Fashanu.

1430
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 4: You're down Johnny Dixon in the second area, you're down

1431
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 4: Kaalen King, and Chop Robinson is out. So the list

1432
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 4: goes on and on. So if you're going to assess

1433
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 4: the big ten merits versus the SEC using Penn State

1434
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 4: and Ole miss is at a point? Why are we

1435
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: not looking at Maryland with a backup quarterback against an

1436
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 4: Auburn team who had a couple opt outs defensively and

1437
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 4: those two, in my opinion, should really cancel one another album.

1438
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 2: Todd always a pleasure, my friend, bother the way, what's

1439
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: up later on tonight? Five dollars blackjack? Or what Todd?

1440
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 4: No five dollars blackjack? I will try and do everything

1441
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 4: I can to stay awake till midnight. There may be

1442
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 4: a pillow on the dinner table for me, but no

1443
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 4: five dollars blackjack. It's getting a better reasonable hour and

1444
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,439
Speaker 4: being up just in time to have Iowan Tennessee put

1445
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 4: me back to sleep.

1446
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 5: And.

1447
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,800

Speaker 2: thank you. We got other games to get holds up.

1469
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 2: And I do want to talk a little bit about

1470
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 2: the officiating.

1471
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 4: Two.

1472
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 2: We'll get to that, but first let's see what's trending.

1473
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: We check in with our buddy Steve the Sega. What's

1474
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 2: going on to Sega?

1475
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 5: A lot of NFL to get to a dominant Packers

1476
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 5: win tonight, But a reminder. College football's national semifinals are

1477
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 5: tomorrow and then the national title game a week later

1478
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 5: in Houston, January eighth, but number one ranked Michigan will

1479
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 5: face Alabama in the Rose Bowl semifinal on New Year's

1480
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 5: and despite a cloudy day today in Pasadena. Great forecast

1481
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 5: for Monday about sixty degrees and Sonny at kickoff for

1482
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 5: the game, no win, no chance of rain. And then

1483
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 5: the second semifinal is indoors New Year Night the Sugar Bowl,

1484
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 5: hosting number two Washington against Texas As. For the NFL game,

1485
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 5: Tonight's Packers were at Minnesota. Each team was seven and eight.

1486
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,439
Speaker 5: They're going in different directions. Packers won thirty three to ten.

1487
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 5: Vikings have lost five of six. The only win in

1488
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 5: this stretch was that three to nothing victory at Las Vegas.

1489
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 5: The Packers at eight and eight's well, they're the best

1490
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 5: of the eight to eight teams in the NFC right now.

1491
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 5: So for the moment, the Packers have the final playoff

1492
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 5: spot in the NFC. Aaron Jones one hundred and twenty

1493
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 5: yards rushing tonight quarterback Jordan Love with four total touchdowns.

1494
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 5: You guys mentioned the controversial Dallas win late holding off

1495
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 5: Detroit last night. If Dallas can win this division, it'll

1496
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,639
Speaker 5: be hosting, of course, at least one playoff game. They

1497
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 5: have a chance just beat Washington on the road next

1498
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 5: weekend and claim a division crown. Even though the Eagles

1499
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 5: started ten to one this year.

1500
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 2: Oh jeez.

1501
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 5: This means if Dallas takes first place, it'll be the

1502
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 5: eighteenth season in which that vision has not had a

1503
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 5: repeat champion, longest set streak in the four major sports.

1504
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 5: That is especially crazy is that Philadelphia is coming off

1505
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl appearance and started ten to one and

1506
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 5: now they've lost four their last five games, lost at

1507
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 5: home to Arizona thirty five thirty one despite a halftime

1508
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 5: lead over the Cardinals of twenty one to six. San

1509
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 5: Francisco clinched the one seed in the NFC and the

1510
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:28,559
Speaker 5: first round by winning at Washington twenty seven to ten,

1511
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 5: and then they watched the Eagles lose and celebrated. Baltimore

1512
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 5: clinched the one seed in the AFC in the first

1513
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 5: round by Baltimore went Miami fifty six nineteen. So with

1514
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 5: those two Ravens and Niners clinching one seed in their

1515
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 5: respective conferences today, this is the first time since two

1516
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 5: thousand and nine that the one seeds are clinched. Was

1517
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 5: still a week to play in the season. There is

1518
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 5: still stuff to go as far as division titles and

1519
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 5: things to look after next weekend when the regular season ends.

1520
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 5: In fact, two of the divisions that are up for

1521
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 5: have three teams each in contention. First time in NFL

1522
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 5: history we have two divisions with three teams in division

1523
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 5: title contention going into the final week. Jacksonville's division the

1524
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 5: AFC South. The Jaguars who shut out Carolina twenty six

1525
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 5: nothing today. Finally out of this losing streak which should

1526
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 5: reach four games, Jacksonville can clinch this division crown Sunday

1527
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 5: at Tennessee. Notable though, after Tennessee lost twenty six to

1528
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 5: three today at Houston, the NFL has made Houston's finale

1529
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 5: a Saturday night game at Indy. That winner apparently will

1530
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 5: get wild card at least, so keep that in mind

1531
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 5: as we go into next weekend. But it's a division

1532
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 5: crown again for the Kansas City Chiefs. Came back to

1533
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 5: beat Cincinnati twenty five seventeen. The Chiefs have won the

1534
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 5: AFC West eight straight years. The record is Belichick's Patriots

1535
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 5: winning a division eleven straight years. You I know, Arnie,

1536
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 5: remember the nineteen seventies La Rams who won the NFC

1537
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 5: West seven straight years.

1538
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 2: That was a good run by them.

1539
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 5: Chuck Knox et cetera. Kansas City now eight straight division

1540
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 5: titles and They're in the playoffs in general for a

1541
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 5: ninth straight season. Again, New England eleven straight years in

1542
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 5: the postseason, the record Dallas with Roger Staubach et cetera

1543
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 5: nine straight years in the playoffs, Colts with Peyton Manning

1544
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 5: nine straight years in the playoffs, and now KC nine

1545
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 5: straight years in the playoffs. And now it's yet another

1546
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 5: ten win season for Kansas City. The record though, Patriots

1547
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,879
Speaker 5: seventeen straight years of having a ten win season.

1548
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 2: Geez.

1549
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 5: For Kansas City, that's a ninth straight year of at

1550
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 5: least ten wins. Pittsburgh won at Seattle thirty to twenty three.

1551
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 5: The Seahawks loss clinched a playoff spot for the Rams.

1552
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 5: Notable that the finale for the Steelers regular season is

1553
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 5: Saturday afternoon at the Ravens. As the Ravens beat up Miami,

1554
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:56,839
Speaker 5: especially in the second half. You know, we noticed noted

1555
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 5: earlier in the show tonight how the Dolphins, despite the

1556
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 5: good record, have not done well against good teams. The Ravens,

1557
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 5: on the other hand, they've won ten games against clubs

1558
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 5: with winning records this year. That is the most in

1559
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 5: the league, and Lamar Jackson has the most touchdown passes

1560
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 5: against teams with a winning record this year. In fact,

1561
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 5: you had a perfect passer rating today, third time in

1562
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 5: his career perfect passer rating in a game, which ties

1563
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 5: Tom Brady and others for the NFL crown. And I

1564
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 5: know you'll like this one that I found from the league.

1565
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 5: They say that Lamar Jackson, who is part of a

1566
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 5: seventy five yard touchdown today, he has four career tds

1567
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 5: of at least seventy five yards. All four have come

1568
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 5: against the Dolphins.

1569
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 2: Of course, of course, and it's cool that.

1570
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 3: It happened on the same day Arizona basketball lost to

1571
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 3: an unranked team. Sorry, sorry, so I don't know where.

1572
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 5: That came at Stanford in case you didn't hear. But

1573
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 5: what we've got for the final Sunday Night NFL game

1574
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:51,759
Speaker 5: next week in after Buffalo did eventually beat New England

1575
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 5: twenty seven to twenty one today, next Sunday Night Buffalo

1576
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 5: at Miami, winner takes the AFC East. And yes, Tampa

1577
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 5: Bay lost at home today, but the Bucks will win

1578
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 5: their division with a victory next week at Carolina.

1579
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, did you know that Discover

1584
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 2: dot com slash credit cards limitations apply you. I'm nervous

1585
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 2: for that that Miami Buffalo gave Buffaloes. You know, it's

1586
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: like the playoffs are starting for them in Miami has

1587
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 2: banged up though. I think Tua is okay though to

1588
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 2: or As, I think he said he'll be okay. It's

1589
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 2: just everybody else is so banged up. You know, Wattle's

1590
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: definitely out next week, right, No, not definite. I don't

1591
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 2: think that's definitive.

1592
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 3: No, I thought it was the till the end of

1593
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 3: the regular season. You would know better than me, But yeah, no,

1594
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I mean, and I think that's part

1595
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 3: of it, Arnie, is that the issue is is that

1596
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 3: the defense I think has been largely underrated throughout all

1597
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 3: this run, or you know, especially the last couple of

1598
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 3: weeks when they've started to have some real high level success.

1599
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: When they got Ramsey packed, that's when they really picked

1600
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,680
Speaker 2: it up. And then Xavier went down to tell you

1601
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: to start the early in the game exactly.

1602
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 3: And so that's where I think my concern would be,

1603
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 3: is that, like you just look at you know, you

1604
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 3: just look at the fact that, like, like I said,

1605
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 3: it just feels like, uh, it just feels like everyone

1606
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 3: is so focused on the offense that they don't realize

1607
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 3: how good the defense is. And you lose a couple

1608
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,719
Speaker 3: just really high level guys. That's just bad, bad, bad news.

1609
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm already up to three. Everybody's gonna be

1610
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 2: on the Buffalo. Bill's gonna be a tough game for

1611
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 2: my Miami Dolphins. We'll come back to Saga, will get

1612
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 2: us caught up at all this stuff, like when the

1613
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 2: kickoff times are, and maybe you'll cryup some of the

1614
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 2: playoff scenarios because they're getting a little crazy. All that's

1615
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 2: coming up next right here on Fox Sports Radio, right

1616
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 2: could you think everyone Aaron Torres in for Chris playing tonight,

1617
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm already span you're right here on Fox Sports Radio

1618
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 2: Live at the ti iraq dot com studios. Let's check

1619
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 2: in with her buddy Steve the Sager to see what's

1620
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,639
Speaker 2: going on, what's having out there to Sega.

1621
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 5: Let's talk about next week in as the NFL will

1622
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 5: close the regular season in seven days. There are a

1623
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 5: couple of Saturday games coming up. They were just announced tonight.

1624
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 5: But let me say that with the Ravens clinching the

1625
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 5: one seed today, obviously they're locked in at the top

1626
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 5: of the conference. They get the first round by nobody else,

1627
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:18,759
Speaker 5: but also Kansas City with the win, not only division champ,

1628
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 5: they are locked into the number three seed. And after

1629
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 5: these results today, the Cleveland Browns are locked into the

1630
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 5: five seed. Now Jacksonville finally ended its losing streak today,

1631
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 5: they can clinch a division crown and automatically be what

1632
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 5: four seed. Because of Division Champ automatically is in the

1633
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 5: top four. Jacksonville can clinch its division playing Sunday at Tennessee.

1634
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 5: But there is a Saturday night game of Texans at

1635
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 5: Colts coming up next weekend and that winner will be

1636
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 5: a wildcard. At least. That's a battle of nine, and.

1637
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,600
Speaker 2: That's a good game to put on Saturday night. That

1638
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 2: was a good It is it's like.

1639
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 3: Having like Central Florida or Louisville in college. It's like

1640
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 3: just put on the random.

1641
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 5: To night and then the Jaguars play the next day.

1642
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,759
Speaker 5: Sunday one Eastern time. But there is the Steelers regular

1643
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 5: season finale on Saturday. That'll be the first of the

1644
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 5: two Saturday games, Steelers at Ravens. What is the Ravens

1645
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 5: record when Lamar Jackson starts the game in his career?

1646
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 5: The answer is fifty eight and nineteen after today. That's

1647
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 5: a winning percentage of over seven fifty when Lamar Jackson

1648
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 5: is the starting quarterback. So that's the Steelers finale at

1649
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 5: Baltimore next Saturday afternoon. Pittsburgh won at Seattle today, by

1650
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 5: the way, but.

1651
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 2: It is Baltimore is going to be resting everybody, though.

1652
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 5: I shouldn't think they should be resting everybody because they

1653
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 5: have the buye on top of that, and we've seen

1654
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 5: I think it was a Peyton Manning Colts team where

1655
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 5: they rested the final week of the regular season, plus

1656
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 5: had a buye on top of that, and it took

1657
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 5: him a little while to get going.

1658
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 2: Well.

1659
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 3: I remember a few years ago and Baltimore had the

1660
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 3: number one overall seed and they, yes, they played tennis nineteen.

1661
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 3: I think it was a Tennessee they played, I forget

1662
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 3: who it was, but they lost in the opener.

1663
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 5: So that's the opponent for the Steelers to finish the

1664
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 5: regular season at Baltimore Saturday afternoon. I was gonna mention

1665
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 5: that Pittsburgh win was at Seattle today. The Seahawks loss

1666
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 5: clinched a playoff spot for the Rams. We still have

1667
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 5: a chance of a Rams at Detroit first round playoff

1668
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 5: matchup coming up. I was going to say next month,

1669
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 5: because it's still technically December here on the West Coast.

1670
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 5: But it could be Jared Goff against Sean McVay, it

1671
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 5: could be Matthew Stafford with a playoff game in Detroit.

1672
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:26,759
Speaker 5: Just the fact that Detroit would have a home playoff

1673
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 5: game as big enough. Boy, that would be huge. Just

1674
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 5: as an independent fan, I am rooting for that. As

1675
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 5: I said a couple of weeks ago. As far as

1676
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,879
Speaker 5: the Steelers, it's been bandied about with plenty of graphics

1677
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 5: about Mike Tomlin. This is seventeen straight years he's coaching

1678
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 5: a team finishing five hundred or better. Actually, they were

1679
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 5: doing this before they hired Mike Tomlin the Pittsburgh franchise.

1680
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 5: This is now twenty straight years finishing five hundred or

1681
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,839
Speaker 5: better and the record is twenty one straight years. Geez,

1682
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 5: Tom Landry's Cowboys from nineteen sixty five to eighty five,

1683
01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 5: impressively having the same coach all twenty one of those years,

1684
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 5: the Hall of Famer Landry. But the Steelers now nine

1685
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 5: and seven, can get the final playoff spot in the AFC.

1686
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have to win and.

1687
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 5: Then Buffalo loses Sunday night, or they have to win

1688
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 5: and then Jacksonville loses the next day.

1689
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so they have two different ways to get on.

1690
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 5: It, that is correct. I mean they're tie scenarios on

1691
01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,799
Speaker 5: top of that, but those are the two easiest. One

1692
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 5: And in case you didn't hear, next Sunday Night, the

1693
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 5: regular season finale for the league is Buffalo at Miami.

1694
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 5: Winner takes the AFC East at Buffalo today quarterback Josh

1695
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 5: Allen with two one yard touchdown runs and a key

1696
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 5: five minute drive to end the game, so the Patriots

1697
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,719
Speaker 5: never got the ball again. At the end Buffalo twenty

1698
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 5: seven to twenty one. The final, the Pats ran back

1699
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 5: the opening kickoff for a.

1700
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 2: Time No I needed the upset.

1701
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 5: Bailey's Appy was the quarterback and he threw three interceptions.

1702
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 5: As for the Miami game, they were as we mentioned

1703
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 5: earlier in the show only down at Baltimore fourteen to

1704
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 5: thirteen late in the first half fifty six nineteen Ravens

1705
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 5: the final Lamarr Jackson five touchdown passes and on only

1706
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 5: eighteen for twenty one passing. He had three hundred and

1707
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 5: twenty one yards devon a chen fourteen carries. He had

1708
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,919
Speaker 5: one hundred and seven yards rushing at a TD reception,

1709
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 5: but wide receiver Jalen Watta was out running back for him.

1710
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 5: Moster was outs. Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb left late with

1711
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 5: a knee injury, possible torn ACL.

1712
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:23,799
Speaker 2: He's done.

1713
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 5: You reference quarterback to a Tongua bay loa. He had

1714
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 5: two touchdowns two interceptions today, left with what he termed

1715
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 5: a sore shoulder. He didn't treat it as any big thing.

1716
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 2: Right, He's a no big deal. But we'll see.

1717
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 5: Exactly Cincinnati's out. Bears are eliminated mathematically. Broncos are out

1718
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 5: that Cincinnati game. Jake Browning got sacked six times. They

1719
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 5: lost at Kansas City twenty five seventeen six for six

1720
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 5: field goals for Harrisonthyers Oh Jets in the win, and

1721
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 5: Casey was down late in the first half seventeen to seven.

1722
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 5: Jake Browning with a TD run and pass.

1723
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 2: They knew nothing for me. Kansas City.

1724
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 5: Kansas City's offense has been a mystery all year, but

1725
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 5: they did get Isaiah Pacheco back after the concussion. Eighteen

1726
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 5: carries one hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown reception.

1727
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,160

1790
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 2: Michigan game.

1791
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 3: Yes, so I will be going to the Rose Bawl.

1792
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 3: I'll probably have to leave at halftime. Jason Martin and

1793
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 3: I will be on at ten pm Eastern time for

1794
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 3: Jason Smith and Mike Harmon. Very excited about the two games.

1795
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,600
Speaker 2: You think there's gonna be what a lot more Alabama

1796
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:39,839
Speaker 2: fans there than Michigan.

1797
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,719
Speaker 3: I mean, well, first of all, I walked around Pasadena today.

1798
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 3: It was a significantly more Michigan fans than Alabama fans,

1799
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 3: believe it or not. And I will tell you. I

1800
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 3: talk to our buddy Ryan Fowler this week. I think

1801
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 3: travel getting out here around the holidays was really hard.

1802
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 3: He actually left the day before the day after Christmas.

1803
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 3: Excuse me, now, right, certainly fans weren't doing that, but

1804
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 3: I think probably getting from Michigan to California. Yeah, but yeah,

1805
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,560
Speaker 3: as I say, getting from Michigan to California was a

1806
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 3: little bit easier by the way, we have the news

1807
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 3: on right now, all the people lined up for the

1808
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 3: parade that brought grills, all that stuff. But but what

1809
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 3: I was gonna say was talk about a first world problem,

1810
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 3: Ryan said, And I don't want to speak for all

1811
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 3: Alabama fans by any stretch of the imagination, but he

1812
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 3: did say, he said, well, you know, I mean the

1813
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 3: National Championships in Houston. So I think a lot of

1814
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 3: fans are just saving up to go to Houston. So

1815
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 3: you know, oh yeah, yeah, I think that's like a

1816
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 3: quick like hour you know, Southwest flight, and it's after

1817
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 3: the holidays. It's a lot more affordable. So listen, I'm

1818
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 3: not here to tell anybody how to spend money, but

1819
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 3: it certainly must be nice to be an Alabama fan,

1820
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 3: just assuming that you're going to get to the National

1821
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 3: Championship game, which again would be a much easier commute

1822
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 3: for them. But I will say walking around Pasadena today

1823
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 3: there was more Michigan fans by a significant margin than

1824
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 3: Alabama fans.

1825
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 2: Believe that's a group, that's a great group of mixed

1826
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 2: people of Alabama fans Michigan fans. That could be a

1827
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,920
Speaker 2: lot of fun down there in Pasadena. You know, what

1828
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it will guys get have a ball.

1829
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,639
Speaker 3: The other thing is to first of all I think

1830
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 3: it's interesting is I don't want to see something really quick.

1831
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,680
Speaker 3: But first of all, what's interesting about it is a

1832
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 3: few things. Is One is I do think there's a

1833
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,639
Speaker 3: lot of people that really do look at it as

1834
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 3: that really do look at it as essentially like the

1835
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 3: last of kind of bowl games as we kind of

1836
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 3: know them. So I think that's part of it. A

1837
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 3: lot of the you know, because if this is the

1838
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 3: second of you know, the Rose Bowl going forward is

1839
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 3: going to be part of the college football probably the quarterfinals, whatever.

1840
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 3: But you know, you're not going to have a week

1841
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 3: to be able to come into town and do all

1842
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 3: the events and do all this. It's gonna be kind

1843
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 3: of quick, et cetera, et cetera. The other thing, from

1844
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 3: the Michigan perspective, which I think is interesting, they haven't

1845
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 3: been to a Rose Bowl since two thousand and seven.

1846
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 2: Are I didn't know it was that long.

1847
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so obviously you know some years it's been a

1848
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 3: playoff whateverlah blahlah blah blah.

1849
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 2: It's interesting.

1850
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 3: Actually Alabama has been to the Rose Bowl more recently

1851
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 3: than Michigan has they went well, it wasn't technically the

1852
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 3: Rose Bowl. It was part of the National Championship rotation

1853
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine. But Alabama has actually been

1854
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 3: there more recently than Michigan has. And so I think

1855
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 3: that's probably part of why that you know that probably

1856
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 3: that's also part of why, you know, it feels like

1857
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 3: there's more Michigan fans.

1858
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 2: But you know, we'll find out tomorrow we get to

1859
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,600
Speaker 2: the stadiums and Texas and Washington out there at the

1860
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl. By the way, nobody paid attention to that,

1861
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 2: that could be the best best game of the bunch.

1862
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 2: Texas now a four point favorite over under of sixty

1863
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 2: three and a half. There's gonna be some fireworks there.

1864
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 2: I like Washington in this game. I don't know if

1865
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 2: Texas is going to be able to keep up with

1866
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 2: them offensively, you know, so I agree.

1867
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 3: And the one thing I'll say, Arnie two is, you

1868
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 3: know a lot of people focus on the close games

1869
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 3: at Washington won throughout the year, and it's justifiable. I get,

1870
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 3: and I'm not here to criticize that that particular taker opinion.

1871
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 3: The one thing I would note, though, I mean, if

1872
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 3: you go back and look, a lot of the games

1873
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 3: they played were in really bad weather in the Pacific Northwest,

1874
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 3: and I think it's worth noting, obviously tomorrow being in

1875
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 3: a dome, you know, you know, all the temperature controlled

1876
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 3: all that. And remember the last game Washington played, they

1877
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 3: were a double digit underdog to Oregon, and that was

1878
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 3: in a temperature controlled dome, and they largely dominated that game.

1879
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 3: And so I just bring it up to say, I

1880
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:30,560
Speaker 3: think that's a factor. Not a lot of people have

1881
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 3: talked about it. I keep hearing about all these close Washington wins,

1882
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 3: but a lot of them came in bad weather, rain, wind, whatever. Obviously,

1883
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,600
Speaker 3: it'll be a perfect scenario tomorrow night in the Superdome.

1884
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 2: Any of the other games Wisconsin LSU, Liberty, Oregon, which

1885
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 2: I think is going to be a game for about

1886
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 2: the first maybe minute or two, and then that game

1887
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 2: should be over. Oregon should go ahead and be up

1888
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing and then boat race them from there.

1889
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 2: And Iowa Tennessee, as Todd Furman said, just enough for

1890
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: them to put me right back to sleep again. With

1891
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 2: that Iowa offense really gets me going on those three games.

1892
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 3: You know, No, I hate to say it because you know,

1893
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 3: I'm a college football guy.

1894
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 2: I know you make a big deal of these. Those

1895
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: games are really irrelevant.

1896
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,799
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I don't. I'm not as anti

1897
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 3: non playoff bowl games as a lot of people. But

1898
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 3: that's that's a tough stretch right there.

1899
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 2: You know.

1900
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 3: The one thing I will say that's sort of interesting

1901
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee as a true freshman quarterback, five star kid. You know,

1902
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 3: there's reports about a lot of nil money that went

1903
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 3: to him. Not that that matters, those are the rules, whatever,

1904
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 3: but he's kind of forced into action because they don't

1905
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 3: have another quarterback, and so he's going up against the

1906
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 3: number one defense in college football.

1907
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:38,559
Speaker 2: That's gonna be very interesting.

1908
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 3: The over under that game already thirty five and a half,

1909
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 3: which is not that surprising for Iowa, but compare that

1910
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 3: with say, you know, Texas Washington at sixty three and

1911
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,600
Speaker 3: a half. It shows you how low scoring that could be.

1912
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 3: But no, I hate to say it. I wish I

1913
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 3: could lie and say that the slate is amazing tomorrow,

1914
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:57,560
Speaker 3: but it's obviously a little bit disappointing.

1915
01:28:57,840 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 2: Let me back up just a little bit. One more

1916
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: thing about the Alabama Michigan game. We know Harbaugh is

1917
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: signed with Don Ye, who used to be Tom Brady's agent,

1918
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 2: has a ties to the NFL a matter of fact,

1919
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 2: has ties to the Las Vegas Raiders. Does that mean

1920
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 2: Harba's gone? It's a certainly looks like it looks like

1921
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a done deal. He's gonna be gone.

1922
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 2: Not sure where there's gonna be some openings the Chargers,

1923
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 2: probably probably the Raiders, but they may go with Pierce

1924
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 2: and he certainly deserves that job. You tell me, what,

1925
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 2: what did you make him signing with them? Does that

1926
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 2: mean he's gone? No matter what they do in this game.

1927
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 3: Well, I've seen mixed reports that there a Michigan outlet

1928
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 3: said that he actually he actually signed with Ye a

1929
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 3: few weeks ago. And so I'm not surprised because there's

1930
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 3: been a lot of leaks about contracts, and you know

1931
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 3: that I think it was Ian Rappaport had some details

1932
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 3: on a contract last week. What I would say is

1933
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:54,880
Speaker 3: this Arnie is a couple of things.

1934
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Is one.

1935
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 3: I think that it's interesting that the Bears is not

1936
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 3: gonna to open up now that's official, and as you said,

1937
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 3: the Raiders, it does not appear or I don't want

1938
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 3: to say that, it appears as though it's at least

1939
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 3: a possibility that Antonio Pierce keeps that jib. So those

1940
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 3: are two obvious ones with the Chargers. I keep going

1941
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 3: back to this, Arnie, and I know that, you know,

1942
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 3: talking to guys that are super plugged in, like Bernie

1943
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 3: Fratto whatever, I get that the Chargers are probably going

1944
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,160
Speaker 3: to spend money that they've never spent before. But it's

1945
01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 3: one of those I have to see it to believe it. Remember,

1946
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley was making four million dollars a year as

1947
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 3: the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Jim Harbaugh

1948
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 3: currently has a contract on his desk. What is it

1949
01:30:36,360 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 3: ten years, twelve million dollars a year. I think it

1950
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 3: was ten years, one hundred and twenty five million dollars

1951
01:30:40,960 --> 01:30:44,960
Speaker 3: or something like that. And so basically, the Chargers would

1952
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 3: have to triple the previous salary that they were paying

1953
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 3: their coach just to match what he already has on

1954
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 3: the table at Michigan. And so I'm not saying they won't,

1955
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:59,120
Speaker 3: because increasing reports speculate that they will. I just need

1956
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 3: to see it to believe it. Because Harball, like everybody else,

1957
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 3: has an ego and I mean, if you're looking at

1958
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley making four million a year, even if they

1959
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 3: double that salary, that's still thirty three percent less than

1960
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:10,840
Speaker 3: what Harbaugh has on the table at Michigan right now.

1961
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 3: So I think if the Chargers are willing to pay,

1962
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 3: it's hard not to like that opportunity with Justin Herbert,

1963
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 3: with a lot of other pieces there, Sean Slater, the

1964
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 3: offensive tackle. But I got to see them being willing

1965
01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 3: to spend that money before I actually believe it.

1966
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 2: Let me give you another scenario. What about now that

1967
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 2: we know that probably Belichick's gonna be gone the New

1968
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 2: England Patriots. Now we know that the Craft family pays

1969
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 2: good money because they paid Belichick good money for a

1970
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 2: long long time. Now the Patriots are going to have

1971
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,639
Speaker 2: what the top five pick probably in the NFL draft,

1972
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 2: right So, guy.

1973
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,799
Speaker 3: Do you think is gonna happen? Because I am curious

1974
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like he is a candidate there. And

1975
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that he isn't or shouldn't be. I

1976
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:58,720
Speaker 3: just haven't seen him listed as a candidate there, So

1977
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm curious for who you're talking to, Harball, have you

1978
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 3: seen him as well? No, I have not, But I said,

1979
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 3: why would that not be a possibility. I did see though, that.

1980
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 2: If Harbaugh is not going to be the head coach,

1981
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 2: that they did put out some rumors on who the

1982
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: you know, who the possible replacements are, and you know

1983
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 2: it's the same old Josh McDaniels or Brian Fores, which

1984
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 2: I don't think either one's gonna make uh Patriot fans

1985
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 2: happy about that.

1986
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 3: That's what I was going to ask, is is where

1987
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:28,439
Speaker 3: do they go from here?

1988
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 2: That?

1989
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what you like?

1990
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 2: What do you think?

1991
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 4: Like?

1992
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 2: What do you think makes the most sense for them? Well?

1993
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 2: What makes the most sense? I mean, you could look

1994
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 2: at McDaniels, you can go for quick.

1995
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm sorry to cut you off.

1996
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Is there like is it? Do you think?

1997
01:32:44,479 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 1: What? What?

1998
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 3: There's zero percent chance that Bill Belichick will be the

1999
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 3: head coach next year?

2000
01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 2: Right or? I agree with that?

2001
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm asking yeah, yeah.

2002
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's coming back to the Patriots.

2003
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 2: I believe Kraft wants to move on and they already

2004
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 2: know that the writing's on the wall for Belichick. He

2005
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 2: he should already know that. All so, it's been a

2006
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:03,840
Speaker 2: horrible year, and you know, if they're gonna have a

2007
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,799
Speaker 2: high draft pick, which is gonna make it very appealing

2008
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,400
Speaker 2: to another coach to come on it, plus the history

2009
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 2: of the team. But if I'm the Patriots, I may

2010
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: have to look outside the box. Though I don't think

2011
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 2: the McDaniels or Flores or or somebody like that is

2012
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 2: the way I want to go. I may want to

2013
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,720
Speaker 2: go and give somebody else a chance, kind of like

2014
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:26,600
Speaker 2: the Raiders are giving Antonio Peers to that situation, That's

2015
01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 2: the way I would look at it right now.

2016
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 3: So I agree, And I don't think you can bring

2017
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 3: Belichick back because he already had one bite at the

2018
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:37,479
Speaker 3: apple of finding the guy to replace replace Tom Brady

2019
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 3: mac Jones and obviously didn't work. So I think he's

2020
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 3: got to move on. Here's my other counter question to that. Okay,

2021
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 3: so Bill Belichick, obviously right now a lot of people

2022
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 3: are a little bit down on them after what's happened. Whatever,

2023
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 3: if you get the Belichick Josh McDaniel's package, I know

2024
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 3: that Bill O'Brien's you know, been with him and whatever.

2025
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 3: I would imagine if Belichick gets a fresh start mcdidaniels

2026
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 3: is out of coaching, that McDaniels probably comes with him.

2027
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 3: If you get the Belichick McDaniels package, that's a lot

2028
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:11,839
Speaker 3: more appealing. If you're seriously pursuing Belichick, No, would.

2029
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 2: You say no? Because I think it was all Tom Brady,

2030
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,360
Speaker 2: not all maybe the playoffs. Remember Mac Jones' rookie year.

2031
01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 2: They made the playoffs. I mean, look, congratulations to them.

2032
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. I don't care if you

2033
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 2: do bring McDaniels along, and look how miserable he's failed

2034
01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 2: as a head coach, you know what I mean. But

2035
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 2: not anybody's built to be a head coach, you know.

2036
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 4: You know what.

2037
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he'd be part of the

2038
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:38,640
Speaker 2: combination going forward too, So that could be a possibility.

2039
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't know where Belichick's getting up to. It could

2040
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:44,679
Speaker 2: be the Chargers. That might be the odds on favored

2041
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 2: right now, Torres, Yeah, I mean I think it's he again.

2042
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 2: Are they going to be willing to pay? I mean,

2043
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: that's to me kind of the big thing.

2044
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 3: You know, I'm so fascinated by the Bill Belichick. What

2045
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 3: is you know, what is his future? I just get

2046
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 3: the sense that, like I would assume that if he

2047
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 3: wants to coach somebody would be interested in him. But

2048
01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 3: I remember talking to you about this even like a

2049
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 3: year ago before this season officially officially kind of got underway.

2050
01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:18,920
Speaker 3: And I think my question for you is, it's got

2051
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 3: to be a place, in my opinion, with an established quarterback,

2052
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,719
Speaker 3: Like I don't think you can go in like say whatever,

2053
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 3: like a place that's going to draft a quarterback like

2054
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,120
Speaker 3: you have to you have to have the guy, because

2055
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 3: he's not a guy that's going to bring along a

2056
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 3: young quarterback. We saw it was a debacle, you know,

2057
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 3: with mac Jones, So I would think that you have

2058
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 3: to have a pretty established quarterback right all right.

2059
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:47,439
Speaker 2: By the way, if you're using debit over credit, shouldn't

2060

2073
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,679
Speaker 2: Torres in for Chris Plank tonight. He's got the night off.

2074
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,519
Speaker 2: And no, Chris Plank didn't take the night off because

2075
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 2: Oklahoma lost. He had the night off. No, no, no,

2076
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 2: you know, let's leave the rumors out there the internet.

2077
01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 2: That's what the Internet is saying. Sports. I got the

2078
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 2: latest VP odds Lamar Jackson minus ten thousand sounds about right,

2079
01:36:56,040 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott twenty to one, brock Perty thirty to one. Boy,

2080
01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 2: how things changed in two games? Huh?

2081
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 3: Well, you and I were on air on Christmas Day

2082
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 3: where brock Purty went from like one to three during

2083
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 3: the game.

2084
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 2: Remember that, I mean, I listen.

2085
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 3: I know the sports uh gambling space is evolving every

2086
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 3: single year, is more states legalized and it becomes more commonplace.

2087
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't ever remember odds changing during the game, like

2088
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 3: I remember I've seen stuff get taken down during the game.

2089
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 3: For that reason, but I've never seen the like brock

2090
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,280
Speaker 3: Party went from one to three in the middle of

2091
01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 3: the game. It was unbelievable, especially just one game too.

2092
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 3: I mean, you got you're basically on a whole year.

2093
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 3: But I guess it's not what you've done for me,

2094
01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 3: but what you've done for me lately. You want to

2095
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:46,880
Speaker 3: get in Twitter's the best way to get a hold

2096
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:48,719
Speaker 3: of us, Aaron underscore tours.

2097
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 2: I'm in stinking genius one. Like Michael wrote, you just

2098
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 2: did an entire AFC playoff segment covering every team except

2099
01:37:56,280 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns, best defense in the NFL, with wins

2100
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:05,439
Speaker 2: over the Ravens and forty nine ers w taf Yes,

2101
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 2: bad job by TORRESF.

2102
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 3: What the I know what the last that, I know

2103
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:13,920
Speaker 3: what the F is. I don't know what the A

2104
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 3: is though, I'll just go with it. Yeah, that's why,

2105
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 3: because you get your acronyms wrong.

2106
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, bad job by Torres, Bad job by Torres, the job,

2107
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,719
Speaker 2: I don't you know what? Yes, it's it's a good story,

2108
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 2: but I don't believe it. I don't believe that he

2109
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 2: can take a team to the super Bowl like he

2110
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,400
Speaker 2: did with the with the Ravens, he's a lot older.

2111
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 2: He's we'll get the three underd York games. He's getting.

2112
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 2: No that Deshaun Watson's not getting. What a waste of

2113
01:38:40,320 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 2: money the Browns wasted on to Shaun Watson. But I

2114
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't think they have a great defense. I just don't.

2115
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 2: I just don't see f leading him to a super Bowl.

2116
01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:51,639
Speaker 3: Who said super Bowl?

2117
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 2: Well that's the way everybody's talking. Oh look at the

2118
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 2: flaggo's doing. My goodness, I can't believe that, you know,

2119
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 2: not every the Jets should have called him up. And

2120
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:04,680
Speaker 2: it's just getting crazy out there.

2121
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:07,360
Speaker 3: I have not heard anyone make the argument that they're

2122
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 3: going to the super Bowl. I've heard, you know, they've

2123
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,479
Speaker 3: exceeded expectations. I've even heard you know, I think Colin

2124
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:14,960
Speaker 3: said it the other day, is like, I don't know

2125
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,719
Speaker 3: how all these contracts work, because you know, this Russell

2126
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 3: Wilson thing has thrown me for a loop. But I mean,

2127
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 3: I guess you you have to go back to Deshaun

2128
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 3: Watson next year, right, Like you can't not start him

2129
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:29,880
Speaker 3: with the money that you're paying him.

2130
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 5: Right.

2131
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 2: Oh, and Flacco's getting old stop and he's already old.

2132
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 2: What getting on the tract. Well, his contract is guaranteed.

2133
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 2: I believe Deshaun Watson's it is fully guaranteed. That's what

2134
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 2: made it so crazy when it happened. Yeah, you have

2135
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 2: no choice but to go back to him, and he's

2136
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 2: really not worth it though, you know what I mean,

2137
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 2: you got him in this position that that's a waste

2138
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:50,560
Speaker 2: of money, complete waste of body. I do like the

2139
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 2: Browns defense, though, Oh they're great. I just just you know,

2140
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 2: and AFC is wide open Ravens with the number one,

2141
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 2: but after that, it's all wide open. I can see

2142
01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 2: the Browns pull him up set in the first game

2143
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 2: really quick.

2144
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,919
Speaker 3: I know this on the scale of like most important stories,

2145
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 3: is not super high, but you did just mention it.

2146
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,799
Speaker 3: What the heck were the Jets doing this whole season?

2147
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 3: Like like you know, and j Martin and I talked

2148
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 3: about the other night, but it's like you look at

2149
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 3: it's not like Aaron Rodgers got hurt in week nine,

2150
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 3: right right, Like we all the Jets tried to tell

2151
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 3: us that they were a contender for the division for

2152
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl before the season. So if you believed

2153
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:35,600
Speaker 3: that you had yourself a super Bowl contending team with

2154
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers.

2155
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 2: You owed it to the other guys in that locker

2156
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 2: room to go get somebody.

2157
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:42,680
Speaker 3: And it makes it look especially bad because you had

2158
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco in the building last year all that.

2159
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but who knew that Flacco was gonna be what

2160
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 2: he is right now?

2161
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:49,719
Speaker 3: Apparently not the Jets.

2162
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 2: Well, did anybody really think that he was going to

2163
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 2: lead the Browns to what they've been doing right now

2164
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 2: putting up those type of numbers? No, he was sitting nuts.

2165
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 2: Why he was sitting at home on the couch to

2166
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 2: do it nothing. That's why he was reaching out to teams.

2167
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 2: I love when people do that. All the judge could

2168
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:07,719
Speaker 2: have gotten him, This team could have gotten.

2169
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,280
Speaker 3: Shouldn't they have had a better plan, or shouldn't they

2170
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 3: have tried to do more than just ride with Zach

2171
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 3: Wilson when you literally got Aaron Rodgers because you were

2172
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 3: basically acknowledging Zach Wilson isn't good enough?

2173
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:20,719
Speaker 2: Hindsight's twenty twenty. The answers, Yes, I think I would

2174
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 2: have given Zach Wilson maybe a game or two, and

2175
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:25,880
Speaker 2: if it wasn't working out, I would have maybe done

2176
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 2: something a little bit more dramatic than they did, which

2177
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,519
Speaker 2: was nothing, and just rotate a bunch of quarterbacks that

2178
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 2: were gonna go ahead and get it done.

2179
01:41:33,880 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, if it wasn't you know, listen, I'm not

2180
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 3: saying it had to be Joe Flacco. I'm just saying,

2181
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 3: and listen, I love Tim Boyle, former Yukon Husky. I

2182
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 3: got a root for him. But you know, between Tim

2183
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 3: Boyle and Zach Wilson, it's like you literally got Aaron

2184
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 3: Rodgers because Zak Wilson wasn't good enough. Tim Boyle couldn't

2185
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 3: even win in college at Yukon, so now we're gonna,

2186
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,840
Speaker 3: you know, he's not an NFL quarterback. I just, you know, again,

2187
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 3: in the grand scheme of all the things going on

2188
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 3: in the NFL right now, it's not that important. But

2189
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 3: I just continue to be blown away that not only

2190
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 3: did they not have a real backup plan for thirty

2191
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:07,960
Speaker 3: nine going on forty year old Aaron Rodgers, but that

2192
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:11,599
Speaker 3: they basically punted on the season in Week one when

2193
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 3: they had a Super Bowl roster in their minds everywhere else.

2194
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 2: Right, And though their defense doesn't look so hot now

2195
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 2: does it the last couple of weeks, So maybe we

2196
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 2: overestimated this team when it was all said done, you know,

2197
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:27,600
Speaker 2: sure looks like him and I'm not even trusted on

2198
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 2: Rodgers when he comes back. I'm not even sure you

2199
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 2: know that he's going to even take him to the playoffs.

2200
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,040
Speaker 3: You know, well, I mean people didn't think it was

2201
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,559
Speaker 3: gonna happen this year. I mean, there's obviously big holes

2202
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 3: on that team. They got to clean up the offensive line.

2203
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 3: By the way, A means actual.

2204
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 2: Actually I just saw although Paul Bells Mafia did spell

2205
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,400
Speaker 2: actual wrong, but that's okay, neither close enough. Who's you

2206
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 2: don't get extra points for spelling on this show? That

2207
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 2: that's for da I'm sure twenty four spelling optional. I

2208
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:59,280
Speaker 2: want to ask you. By the way, the Kansas City

2209
01:42:59,360 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs much needed victory here, but that doesn't mean everything's fixed, right,

2210
01:43:04,120 --> 01:43:08,760
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that, Okay, we beat Cincinnati twenty five seventeen,

2211
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 2: so we're ready to go and show everybody worth the

2212
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 2: best team in the AFC. They still have their major problems.

2213
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 2: That offense, still not jelling on all cylinders.

2214
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 3: Still not yelling. I know they had Pacheck go back today,

2215
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 3: but you know, more drops. It was just it was ugly.

2216
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 3: I mean, they just they just don't have the dudes

2217
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 3: man like you know. And and I'll say this, this

2218
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:31,760
Speaker 3: is the one thing that nobody has been able to

2219
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 3: explain to me because last year, my bold prediction going

2220
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,800
Speaker 3: into last season, not twenty twenty three, but twenty twenty two,

2221
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 3: was that the Chiefs were going to take a major

2222
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 3: step back without Tyreek Hill because I thought he was

2223
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 3: that important to what they did. And I still don't

2224
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 3: get how they figured it all out last year without

2225
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:50,960
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill. But all of a sudden this year is

2226
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 3: when it all falls apart. I don't understand it. But

2227
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 3: they have to get some talent around Patrick Mahomes as

2228
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:59,799
Speaker 3: good as he is, you know, Pachecko's fine.

2229
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:01,599
Speaker 2: Are you saying it's too late for this year?

2230
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:01,800
Speaker 4: Though?

2231
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 3: Let me ask you, I mean, are you one of

2232
01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 3: those if they just get to the playoffs they can

2233
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 3: do I mean, they're gonna get to the playoffs, but

2234
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 3: you know that they can do damage once they get in.

2235
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 2: Or is it like like I'm more thinking of they

2236
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:17,880
Speaker 2: could lose a first round game then go ahead and

2237
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 2: find themselves.

2238
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 3: In a super Bowl. I agree one hundred percent. It's

2239
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 3: just not their year. Sometimes it's just not your year. Like,

2240
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,880
Speaker 3: it's okay. I know that they've been great, and I

2241
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 3: know they've won, you know, two in this run and

2242
01:44:28,080 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 3: they went to the third Super Bowl and all these

2243
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 3: home playoff games, but it's just not their year.

2244
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 2: It's just it really isn't. How are they going to

2245
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 2: be when they have to go on the road. They'll

2246
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 2: get one home playoff game, you know, the home playoff game,

2247
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 2: maybe against the Miami Dolphins. Love that, you'd love that.

2248
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 3: You prefer to get the two though, and play like

2249
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 3: four somebody, right.

2250
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 2: No, I've had you. If we get the two, it

2251
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 2: may have to be the Buffalo Bills again, wolf back

2252
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 2: to back games, having to beat them twice. There would

2253
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 2: be one game a piece at that point. But I

2254
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 2: hate that. I hate when that works out like that

2255
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 2: in the NFL, you know, Oh horrible, I mean, geez,

2256
01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 2: But that'd be a good game too, And I would

2257
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 2: love to see the Lions and the Rams like everybody else.

2258
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Matt Matthew Stafford going back to Detroit. I still listen.

2259
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 3: I know it's your show with Plank. I still don't

2260
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 3: think we've talked enough about how crippling that dumb thing

2261
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:28,719
Speaker 3: that the referees did last night was it changed everything, Arnie.

2262
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 3: With Philadelphia losing today, Detroit would ad the number two seed,

2263
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 3: which means they get the second home playoff game. Now, ironically,

2264
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 3: they might have to go back to Dallas if they

2265
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 3: win that opener.

2266
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 2: So we I'll tell you what. We'll take a look

2267
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:40,439
Speaker 2: at what's coming up next week, the final week of

2268
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:42,800
Speaker 2: the NFL, and what each game means, how important it is.

Speaker 2: let's see what's trending one final time with our buddy

2278
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:13,599
Speaker 2: Steve the saga. What's going on to Sega guys?

2279
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 5: This segment you mentioned the Jets, the Chiefs, and Tyreek Hill.

2280
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 5: The Jets currently have the longest active playoff drought by far.

2281
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 5: It's been thirteen seasons now without waking the playoffs, Denver

2282
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 5: got eliminated today. That's eight straight seasons for the Broncos

2283
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,240
Speaker 5: since their Super Bowl I mentioned last hour the Chiefs

2284
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 5: by clinching their division crown tonight, they're locked into the

2285
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:40,440
Speaker 5: three seed the Chiefs. That's nine straight years in the playoffs.

2286
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 5: The Bills can make it five straight years into the

2287
01:46:43,560 --> 01:46:47,840
Speaker 5: postseason if well, we had that Sunday night game looing

2288
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 5: do we not at Miami winner of that takes the

2289

2291
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 5: and great career in the league. He's over seventeen hundred

2292
01:47:01,240 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 5: yards receiving, first player to do that in multiple seasons.

2293

2294
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:09,160

Speaker 5: Philadelphia has lost four of five after a ten and

2343
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 5: one start to the season. They gagged today's home game

2344
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 5: against Arizona. Philly was up at the half twenty one

2345

2349
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 5: Philadelphia used to have a great defense. How quickly this

2350
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 5: has changed. Arizona, on only eight drives, had thirty two

2351
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:14,519

Speaker 5: New Orleans won at Tampa Bay twenty three to thirteen,

2353
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 5: but Saints running back Alvin Kamara left with a springed ankle,

2354
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:22,640
Speaker 5: and the Bucks can still win that division with a

2355
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 5: victory next week at Carolina. The Panthers are two and

2356
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 5: fourteen after getting shut out today twenty six to nothing

2357
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 5: at Jacksonville. That Panthers lost clinches the number one overall

2358
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:35,719
Speaker 5: draft pick for Chicago. Bryce Young was sacked six times

2359

2368
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,439
Speaker 5: Rams won twenty six to twenty five at the Giants.

2369
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 5: I know the Rams have won six of seven. It's

2370
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 5: an impressive second half run, but my goodness, they missed

2371
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 5: two extra point kicks. They had so many ways of losing.

2372
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:21,600
Speaker 5: This gave up a late punt return touchdown, which is

2373
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 5: how they lost a few weeks back at Baltimore, the

2374
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:26,880

2406
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 2: surprise retirement party, he decided not to come out of retirement.

2407
01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:13,800

Speaker 2: What happened? Tom Brady said that in twenty twenty three,

2411
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:28,800

2422
01:53:58,240 --> 01:54:02,040

Speaker 2: No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that, but

2441
01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:55,720
Speaker 2: it seemed like he was giving a good thought. That's

2442
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:56,640
Speaker 2: all I will tell you.

2443
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 3: You know, listen, I'll say this is you know, there

2444
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:03,120
Speaker 3: was that like, what two hour window when Aaron Rodgers

2445
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:04,800
Speaker 3: got hurt where it's like they should call Brady.

2446
01:55:04,800 --> 01:55:06,720
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, that's true. That would have

2447
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 2: been great. That's true. That would have been all.

2448
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 3: That would be great if they brought him both back

2449
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 3: the next year and let them compete for the spot. Hey, Roger,

2450
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 3: I know you said you're gonna be here two years.

2451
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 3: You got to earn this bad boy.

2452
01:55:17,040 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 5: You know, I love it.

2453
01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:19,640
Speaker 2: I love that would have been good, though, if they

2454
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,520
Speaker 2: would have brought Tom Brady. And you're right about that.

2455
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you what. We'll come back, We'll

2456
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 2: get to some picks and so looking at the week

2457

Speaker 2: eighteen plus, we got the semifinals tomorrow, all that coming

2458

Speaker 1: for it's lopso and wide open pat Riccard.

2461
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:43,360
Speaker 2: One hand cat for the fullback and one hand. Sunday continues,

2462
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 2: what a Ravens touchdown? That one hurt? I know that.

Speaker 2: Radio Network. All right, change the music up a little

2469
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 2: bit for me. Let's let's get them some picks, a

2470
01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:16,280
Speaker 2: bunch of monster games. Let's start with the semi finals Torres,

2471
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 2: Michigan and Alabama. Right now, Michigan are two point favorite

2472
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 2: over under forty four and a half.

2473
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:26,600
Speaker 3: Which way you're going on that? Officially my official pick

2474
01:56:26,640 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 3: I made it earlier in the week. I like Michigan

2475
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 3: to win. I like Michigan to cover. My pick is

2476
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 3: uh Michigan twenty four Alabama fourteen. I'll be quick, but

2477
01:56:36,480 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 3: I do think a lot of people are trying to

2478
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:39,920
Speaker 3: talk about how is Michigan going to move the ball

2479
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 3: on Alabama? They've played three elite defenses in the last

2480
01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:46,040
Speaker 3: four weeks. In Iowa, Penn State and Ohio State. Alabama,

2481
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:48,120
Speaker 3: by the way, has struggled the times to move the ball.

2482
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:50,600
Speaker 3: This will be statistically the best defense they've seen. I

2483
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:52,480
Speaker 3: like Alabama to win.

2484
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:56,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm taking out a baba, but yeah, Michigan, Michigan

2485
01:56:57,120 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 2: taking Michigan. I'm taking that a baba, but you had

2486
01:56:59,320 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 2: to be doubting it because everybody else is on the

2487
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:07,720
Speaker 2: Alabama bandwagon, which I'm certainly worried about. Look, I think

2488
01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 2: Michigan's schedule has some concerns for me. The Alabama has

2489
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 2: played a lot tougher schedule. And yeah, Alabama's offense can

2490
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 2: stutter a sputter at times, but I don't think it's

2491
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 2: going to go ahead and have that much trouble against

2492
01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 2: Michigan like people think, because I know Michigan has a

2493
01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:28,920
Speaker 2: good defense, but Alabama should be able to move the ball.

2494
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:32,200
Speaker 2: I got Alabama winning. I'm gonna take the two points

2495
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 2: in that. What do you think about Texas and Washington?

2496
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 3: I actually like Washington to win outright. I think they're

2497
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,480
Speaker 3: what a four point favorite right now?

2498
01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:40,800
Speaker 2: Point underdog.

2499
01:57:40,880 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm getting my word. It's been the last segment

2500
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 3: for me in twenty twenty three, so I'm screwing up

2501
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 3: left right here, four point underdog. I like them to

2502
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:50,839
Speaker 3: win two quick reasons. One, everyone talks about how great Michigan,

2503
01:57:51,360 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 3: Michigan Texas is on the lines. Guess who else is

2504
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 3: great on lines? Oregon? Washington beat them twice. I also

2505
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,160
Speaker 3: mentioned this earlier in the show. I do think think

2506
01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 3: the fact that this game is indoors for a Washington team,

2507
01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:07,080
Speaker 3: that most of their close games came in bad weather, wind, rain, sleet,

2508
01:58:07,200 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it in the Pacific Northwest.

2509
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:11,280
Speaker 3: I like Washington to win.

2510
01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 2: Love Washington going with the upset. Don't even want the

2511
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 2: four points, love the over sixty three and a half.

2512
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:22,560
Speaker 2: I think Washington really puts it to Texas. Texas will score,

2513
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:24,760
Speaker 2: they just won't be able to keep up with them.

2514
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:28,400
Speaker 2: All right, Bills of my Dolphins Buffalo now a three

2515
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:32,160
Speaker 2: point favorite over under forty nine and a half. Can

2516
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 2: my Dolphins win this game? I think so?

2517
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:40,560
Speaker 3: But I am taking the bill. Sorry, I just you know,

2518
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:44,640
Speaker 3: listen the Dolphins. It's not I'm not anti Dolphins, but.

2519
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:47,360
Speaker 2: The injuries worry me. Bradley Chubb, we's talked about to

2520
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:49,320
Speaker 2: leave the show. Why was he in that game? Arty

2521
01:58:49,320 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 2: Span here. I don't know that, just that that's just

2522
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 2: a killer. You gotta you gotta pull him out. And

2523
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,000
Speaker 2: I knew that was gonna happen. I want to do

2524
01:58:57,120 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 2: it to come out in the third quarter for crying

2525
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 2: out loud and just.

2526
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 3: I like Mike McDaniel, but I thought he was supposed

2527
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 3: to be an Ivy League genius.

2528
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 2: What happened. Yeah, the chemistry tutor didn't do so well.

2529
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 2: So I'm taking the Dolphins. You got the Bills. What

2530
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:14,480
Speaker 2: about the Cowboys? Commanders, Cowboys chance to win the division?

2531
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:17,680
Speaker 2: You know, Washington's gonna bring everything. I go love Dallas

2532
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:18,320
Speaker 2: in this game.

2533
01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,960
Speaker 3: I will say, for Karma's sake, I hope Dallas loses

2534
01:59:22,040 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 3: because that would that's the only scenario in which Detroit

2535
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:28,160
Speaker 3: would end up with the number two seed. If Detroit

2536
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:31,320
Speaker 3: wins next week. But I don't see them losing. Washington,

2537
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 3: give me, give me Dallas a lot too.

2538
01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:36,120
Speaker 2: A little. They're bad. Yeah, let me give you a

2539
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:39,280
Speaker 2: give me one more Texas and the Colts. Who goes

2540
01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:41,920
Speaker 2: ahead and gets that division if Jacksonville doesn't.

2541
01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to bet against the Texans.

2542
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, CJ.

2543
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 3: Stroud was back today. They play well today, Will Anderson

2544
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:49,640
Speaker 3: is back. He's playing well.

2545
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:52,440
Speaker 2: I like the Texans. Thank you for sitting it for
