Speaker 1: of our old bosses back in the day like to say,

32
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: our lead story from Indianapolis, the final game of the

33
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: NFL Weekend. There are two weeks to go on the

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: NFL schedule. The final game. They're Week sixteen. Christian McCaffery

35
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: leading the forty nine Ers Traveling Road Show, paying a

36
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: visit to Old Man Rivers, Old Man Rivers and the Colts.

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: There you had the Fox refugees, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: They had the call on AB right there. I don't

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: if you watched it not maybe not, Maybe you had

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: something else going on. I don't know what you have

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: going on. I watched it. I sat there, my fat

42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: ass watched this game the whole thing. So there was

43
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: brock Purty making Terry and England smile. Brock perty forty

44
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: nine a quarterback career high. Five touchdown passes, five of

45
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: them brock per he was back at Iowa State. The

46
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: sight closed, baby, five touchdown passes forty eight to twenty

47
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: seven was your final score as the Niners get the win,

48
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: the three touchdown win. The Colts had the ball down

49
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: by two scores. There was enough time to come back

50
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: and Philip rivers through the interception there So Niners win

51
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: going away and San Francisco eleven and four. They have

52
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: won five straight. I didn't play in the NFL, but

53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. And so they are still alive,

54
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: stand alive, staying alive in the NFC West race with

55
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the Rams, of course, and Rams top

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: team in football, and the Niners and Seahawks have better records,

57
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: but the Rams obviously the better team. We know that,

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: and the conference's top seed also on the line, and

59
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: so there you go. It also snapped. I saw this note.

60
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: It snapped a five game losing streak in the series

61
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: head to head, the last time, the last time that

62
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: the Niners were able to take down the Colts in

63
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: a similar situation was way back in November of twenty

64
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: oh one when Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association member the

65
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Great Jim Mora went on that playoffs, playoffs, when the

66
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: all time great rants. If you're old, you know what

67
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about there. That coach More worked here for

68
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: a number of years after that when he coached the Colts,

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: And of course I've told him this, I had him

70
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: on my podcast a while back. But Jim Mora, the

71
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: greatest rant was not the playoff rant. It was we

72
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: couldn't do Diddley Pooh when he coached the Saints. That's

73
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: the better rant by Jim More. But still Indianapolis that

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: lost there, that loss also clinching a playoff spot for

75
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: here we go Buffalo. Jacksonville is in the playoffs. Jacksonville

76
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: is in the playoffs. Buy your lottery tickets. The Chargers

77
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: are in. The Chargers are in in the AFC as well.

78
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: The better story those could to the Niners and the Colts,

79
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: the better story in the losing locker room. So that

80
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: is where we will begin here. As down goes Indy,

81
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: Down goes Indy. The Colts have now lost five straight,

82
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: and they did something that mathematically is almost impossible. The

83
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Colts got off to a seven and one start this season,

84
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and while they're not eliminated yet, they're about to miss

85
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Here's Philip Rivers breaking down the math on

86
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: the Colts. It's not looking good in Indy and.

87
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: I know this locker room is hurting again. I've been

88
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: a part of it for a short time, for two losses,

89
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: and I know that it's been a it's been a

90
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: long slide now for over a month, and I know

91
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: that's tough. I've been a part of those slides and

92
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: now I'm obviously a part of this right now. And

93
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: we just got to find a way to dig deep

94
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: and find a way to win a football game. And

95
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: we can't worry about all the scenarios and all the

96
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: things out there.

97
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: I know they're all out there. I know what they are.

98
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: But we got to find a way to win a

99
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: football game or none of the scenarios coming to play.

100
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not happening. Colts have lost six of seven

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: at this point, and with the playoffs all but over,

102
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: there is a belief that Rivers might not even play

103
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: again for the Colts that they took him out the

104
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: game was over last series, they put the Golden domer

105
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: in there. At the end, the question becomes will Rivers

106
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: even play again? And the Colts it ain't looking good.

107
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: It is not looking good. And let's hear one more

108
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: from Philip Rivers before we advance in the monologue. Here

109
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: is Philip Rivers on what it's been like for him

110
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: being back in the NFL.

111
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm torn of how to express it because it's been

112
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: a blast.

113
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: It's been a blast to prepare and to go steak

114
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: and get ready and go out there and warm up

115
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: and do.

116
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: All that with these guys again. But again, the name

117
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: of the game is not, you know, go have a

118
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 4: good time. It's helped find.

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Way to team no fun.

120
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: And we've come up short here these first two.

121
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: But I've been a part of less percentage chances of

122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: getting in and got in before. So you'll certainly won't

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: hear me losing hope here as we prepare next week.

124
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: You know that was he just took a shot at

125
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow if I was running a tabloid. Philip Rivers

126
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: takes a shot at Joe Burrow by saying it's not

127
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: about having a good time. Now, Joe Burrow, I'm not

128
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: having fun. Boo hoo hoo. If it's not fun, why

129
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: are we here? I'm Joe Burrow. Well, Philip Rivers just said, listen,

130
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: it's not about having a good time. It's not all right.

131
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: So the question if this is the end of this experiment,

132
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and who knows, let's find out. The Colts will decide

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: whether they're gonna throw Rivers out there or not. The

134
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: math ain't real good. So if this is the end

135
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: of Philip rivers come backstory in Indie, how do you

136
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: grade his performance? We're two games into this and this

137
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: might be all So we have to worry about the

138
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: talk show we do today, and so let's discuss I've

139
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: got porky pig, hydro power, and paper cuts, and we

140
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we're gonna

141
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: make some kettle corn, is what we're gonna make. So

142
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: a listen, the Colts dragged Philip Rivers out of the backwoods.

143
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: What a great movie this would be like all those

144
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: old movies. Is dragon and see what we can we

145
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: can find him? Well, I don't know where he's in

146
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: a small town in Alabama. How do you get to Alabama? Well,

147
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: it's in the south, and so okay, we'll go to

148
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: the south, and is it. No, it's not Georgia, it's

149
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: it's the next You've got to move over a little bit.

150
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: And then you've got Mississippi on one side there, all right,

151
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: So we'll go to Alabama and then we go to

152
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: the backwoods out in the boondocks. And they went there

153
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and they found rivers like they were finding an emergency

154
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: plumber at two in the morning because you're plumbing the

155
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: pipe broke and you've got a major flood. And it

156
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: was the ultimate Hail Mary by the Colts to go

157
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: down this road. So they went down this road, and

158
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: they didn't dial an agent. They called the athletic department

159
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: at the high school in rural out Alabama and said, hey, Phil,

160
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: you still got shoulder pads? You want to play? And

161
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: Phil's say, well, I'm kind of fat right now, I

162
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: don't care. You want to play for the Colts. How

163
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: would you like to start for the Colts? Okay? Why not?

164
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: And guess what, he wasn't a disaster, which I don't

165
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: know if that's a compliment or not. Is that like

166
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: a backhanded company He wasn't a disaster. He looked like

167
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: a cross between and played like a cross between porky

168
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Pig and the Michelin Man. It appeared watching him play

169
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that he was often wheezing, he was wobbling, but he

170
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: was oddly effective considering the very low expectations for Philip Rivers.

171
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: In both games, Rivers gave the Indianapolis offense a puncher's

172
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: chance and that's all they wanted. That's all they expected

173
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: from Rivers. So he met the standard by doing that,

174
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: he met the standard. You look at it, and he said, well, okay,

175
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: let's look at that. They should have, could have, would

176
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: have beaten Seattle. It came down to a Myers field goal.

177
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: That's another sign the Seahawks on all that good. They

178
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: the last two wins for the Seahawks. They needed a

179
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: late field goal to beat a forty four year old

180
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, and then they need the officials to give

181
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: them two points in that ram Seahawks game. So the

182
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks are frauds. We'll get that out of the way.

183
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: But then on Monday night, it wasn't a game lost

184
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: by Rivers. The Colts defense look like a mix of

185
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: traffic Cones and Mattadors o o O l ole as

186
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: they were doing nothing there and Rivers was actually moving

187
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the ball. The Colts scored twenty seven points in this

188
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: game on Monday night. That is more than enough to win.

189
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: That is a de merit actually for the forty nine

190
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: ers defense, and a puffy sticker for Grandpaul Philip Philip

191
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: Rivers Grandpaul Rivers. The mal report card on the two

192
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: games Philip Rivers is played, and again we don't know

193
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: if they'll start another game. So the two games Rivers

194
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: gets a B on the Malle report card. A B.

195
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: That's not a playoff invite, not officially eliminated. However, he

196
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: didn't drown, he didn't He was respectable. How about that

197
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: respectable play by Philip Rivers. It's kind of like, you know,

198
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: then't get the invite. But he went to a wedding.

199
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: He wore jeans, maybe a Bolo tide. It's not the

200
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: greatest look, but you showed up, and you were supposed

201
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: to show up, and you showed up. And so so

202
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: there was that. And now Philip one of the nicknames,

203
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: sure Indianapolis's naptown, and so now he can take a

204
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: nap and relax and the Cinderella of the rust Belt,

205
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: as it's been called there. The mission certainly did not

206
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: get completed by Philip Rivers. Nevertheless, though nevertheless, if you

207
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: look at the wide angle lens here, Rivers played well

208
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: enough where this opens up the old geezer rollodecks, meaning

209
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: this is not going to discourage in twenty twenty six,

210
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven, in the next couple of years. Here,

211
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: when you're starting quarterback, your franchise quarterback, or even your

212
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: reclamation project who plays over his head, over his head

213
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: gets hurt mid season, then when that happens, all right,

214
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: you don't mind. You don't mind going out and getting

215
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: some guy off the scrap heap. The NFL's recycling program

216
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: is OPE. So if you got a pulse and you

217
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: used to be good, they'll give you a call. Now,

218
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: staying with Indy, there has been a dog pile, dog

219
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: pile on top of the Colts here as everyone's being

220
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: a Monday morning quarterback, as the Colts traded multiple first

221
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: round draft picks to the Jets for Sauce Gardener. Now,

222
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Gardner did not play in this game. He's been hurt

223
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: lately for the Colts. He missed the Monday night football game.

224
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: So the question, and this is a people, how could

225
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: the Colts do this? This is Malfeasan's trading two first

226
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: round draft picks for sauce Gardener. That's what dumb teams do,

227
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: all the experts, So question, do the Colts deserve to

228
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: be barbecued for trading all those draft picks to get

229
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: a couple of games out of sauce Gardener. So I

230
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: am shaking my head. No, I am shaking my head

231
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: no on this. This is what's known as revisionist history,

232
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: which is my favorite kind of history because you're never wrong.

233
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: But I like to trade at the time, the whole

234
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: fake outrage thing. It is like revisionist history served cold

235
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: with a side dish of a fake outverage. At the

236
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: time you made the trade, the Colts were seven and two,

237
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: seven and two. They were riding high. They were going

238
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: around like a peacock. They had their feathers in the

239
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: air everywhere, you know, they think they had found something.

240
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: They were playing very very good football at the time,

241
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: and that's when the front office feeling, you know, smell themsells,

242
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: feel themselves a little bit, and they went for it.

243
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: They swung for the offences they did. And you don't

244
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: clutch draffick these so many people have been brainwashed, they've

245
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: been indoctrinated into the draft picks. Oh my god, you

246
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: need the traffic. Shut up, you loser. You're a loser

247
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: with these draft picks. You treat them like they're the

248
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: family jewel. Stop. Draft picks are a renewable resource. You

249
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: know what draft picks are. Their hydro power is what

250
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: they are, right. Draft picks are abundant. Every year you

251
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: get slotted a certain number of draft picks. They are abundant.

252
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: Draft picks are abuddy. As I said, they're hydro power.

253
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: And you look at the energy. It's like think of

254
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the water. You think of the energy you can get

255
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: from rivers and dams and tides and waves and all that.

256
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: That's draft picks. That's it. And you can use them

257
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: anyway you want. And you can't coach scared. You can't

258
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: run a front office scared. You can't do that. FM picks.

259
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: That's how you fade into the oat meal, all right,

260
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to fade into the oatmeal. And I

261
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: love the fact the Colts were feeling their mojo. They

262
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: were looking pretty good and all that stuff. And we

263
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: never thought Daniel Jones was legit, but they did, and

264
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: they bought into Daniel Jones at the time, the whole

265
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones thing, cracking the whip, dodging snakes, like the

266
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: real Indiana Jones and the movie and all that stuff.

267
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: So the iron was hot. The iron was hot, and

268
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: so they took a hammer to it and they're like,

269
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: let's go. And that's called conviction. It's not malpractice. It's

270
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: not Now it didn't work out, clearly, sauce Gardner didn't

271
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: do what they thought he was gonna do with the

272
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: offense fell apart, and it's a hot mess. It's a

273
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: hot mess. So but there's no give backs and you

274
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: just move on and you make your work and you

275
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: figure it out. You know, rain no rain checks or

276
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: anything like that like that in the NFL. So the

277
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: Colts are like, they're kind of like the Hinds Company

278
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: at this point. They're in the sauce business for better

279
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: or worse, and there's no need for an apology tour

280
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: or anything like that. And when he plays Gardener's been

281
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: pretty good. We'll see if that continues when he comes

282
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: back from injury. But with this season melting into a

283
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: nice horseshoe puddle for the culture, it doesn't change that.

284
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: And next year they're gonna have to go back to

285
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,239
Speaker 1: market and become salvage dogs. And whether it's Mac Jones

286
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: or Zach Wilson or some other reject quarterback that they

287
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: will bring in off the scrap heap and they will

288
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: be the salvage dogs and they will be prowling the

289
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: quarterback junkyard to try to find another quarterback that they

290
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: can prop up and coach up to play well as

291
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: well as Daniel Jones was playing at the time. And

292
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: so that's it. But again we don't rewrite history. We

293
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: like the sauce gardener trade at the time. We still

294
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: support the sauce gardner trade. We liked it then, we

295
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: like it now. That's the malormath on that all right,

296
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: last word to the winners side. So I checked my inbox,

297
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: which you should never do as a talk shows riding

298
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: back to people. But occasionally I'll go in there, you know,

299
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: usually once a day, and I'll check my inbox and

300
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: see what's going on with that. And so I went

301
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: in there and it was a lot chuld you. So malor.

302
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: You're not gonna give the Niners props. You're a ram

303
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: suck up, you know all that crap. Is there anyone

304
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: more neutral than me? Seriously? My middle name is neutral? Anyway? Question,

305
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: does this win count as a signature win for brock

306
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: Party and the Niners? Does this count primetime game Indianapolis

307
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night football? Does this count as a signature win

308
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers? So I give this side,

309
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: and God I help, I hope not. If this is

310
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: a signature win for the Niners, they're really not that good.

311
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: Let's just call like it. If you think this is

312
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: some kind of big, big notch in the belt, then

313
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with you. How about that? All right,

314
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: that's not exactly here. Let's not go there. Let's not

315
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: turn what was a Delta Airlines snack box into a

316
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: five course meal. It was not. Yeah, did brock Purty

317
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: look like a doctor from Grey's Anatomy back in the

318
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: day with surgical precision, like what was that guy's name,

319
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: doctor Shepherd? Yeah, just just slicing up the Indianapolis Colts. Yes,

320
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: and the Niners had four hundred and forty yards. They

321
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: had forty eight points. Seven of those coming from a

322
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: turnover by Philip Rivers, but forty one points by land,

323
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: by air, by sea for the forty nine ers. And

324
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: yet context does matter, and that's that's the problem. The

325
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: Niners were touchdown favorites on the road against a flea

326
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: bitten Indianapolis defense. They were supposed to win this game

327
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: by a lot. They won this game by a lot. Therefore,

328
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: you don't get credit for doing what you're supposed to do.

329
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: That's the cold reality of the situation. And let's not

330
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: forget also that brock Purty, well he did have five touchdowns.

331
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: He also had a fumble and an interception. And you

332
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: look at those things, and those are paper cuts in

333
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: a regular season game, they're paper cuts against bad teams

334
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: and the culture bad team right now. Against good teams

335
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: in playoff games, those are amputations. So fright right now,

336
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: it's paper cut, big deal, who cares, put a band

337
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: aid on it, put some new skin on it. You're

338
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: good to go. But then in the playoffs it becomes problematic.

339
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: That's playoffs, playoffs, trying to win a game. Of course,

340
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: the bigger concern for the Niners is defense. Do we

341
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: know they don't have their top two players and all that.

342
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: That defense though built like a sand castle at high tide,

343
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: it's not going very well for that forty nine or defense.

344
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: Robert Salo Does he not get more TV time than

345
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel? Holy crap, they love showing him. Is it

346
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: possible at Robert Salad and Joe Buck are related and

347
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: we don't know it? Or possibly eightman? Do they get

348
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: paid each minute they show Robert Salah on the television? Anyway,

349
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: You're at the Niner defense and Grandpa Philip Rivers went

350
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: out there and looked like, yeah, he looks like a

351
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: sumo wrestler, but he was matriculating the ball down the

352
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: field for Indianapolis in this game. And you let the

353
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: high school coaching forty four year old grandpa average pretty

354
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: much eight yards of pop. That's the Niners defense. They

355
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: get seven point nine yards per pass for Philip Rivers.

356
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Is that a championship defense? Methinks not so much. You

357
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: such a critic, Balor, But yeah, I got Niner fans

358
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: in my inbox. Well it's a signature win. But you okay,

359
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: seven point favorites on the road. I guess the forty

360
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: four year old grandpa and that's your signature. Win you

361
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: guys blow. They're in it. I said it.

00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: This hour, we move away from the Monday Night football

382
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: and we go to the shove or punch or attempted shove,

383
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: attempted punch Herd round the foot Ball World follow up

384
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: follow up to a previous edition of the show. In

385
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: the previous episode, we talked about it. So we go

386
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: to Park Avenue now in Midtown Manhattan. The Justice League

387
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: of Football has ruled. If you have not heard yet,

388
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: the NFL has brought the hammer of Goodell down, down, down, down,

389
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: down on Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. DK not okay.

390
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: He has been suspended for not one, not one, but

391
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: two two games for his in game altercation with a

392
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: blue wig wearing, blue wig wearing Lions fan during the

393
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: win in Detroit. Yeah, the league rule that Metcalf's actions

394
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: violated the league policy of not attempting to punch customers

395
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: who bought a ticket. What a us see that is?

396
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: Why don't they do that on Broadway? Right? You go

397
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: see a Broadway show and they kick in the face

398
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: in the front row, and we'll do a lot. We'll

399
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: do We'll kick our legs up in there and see

400
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: the rock Cats at Radio City. We're gonna have the

401
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: rock Cats kick the people in the front row. Why not?

402
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 2: Uh?

403
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Anyway, that's a good jumping off point. So let us

404
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: discuss the question for the esteem panel is as follows.

405
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf suspended for the two games

406
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: without pay for some kind of conduct detrimental to the NFL. Now,

407
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: when you first saw this or heard about it, what

408
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: did you think? That's the question. Keep it simple. It's

409
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: not that deep. It's overnight talk radio. So when you

410
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: first saw the dk Metcalf suspension for two games, what

411
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: did you think?

412
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: So?

413
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: I've got pep Boys, Butterfingers, and venture capital, and we

414
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are

415
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're

416
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: going to do. So Number I said number one. The

417
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: lawyers have now entered the chat. The lawyers have now

418
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: entered the chat. So this is the NFL being extra

419
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: extra cautious is what this is. Bubble wrapped knee brace

420
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: cautious is what we're talking about here from the NFL. Now,

421
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: once both sides have lawyered up, that's where we are.

422
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Both sides have lawyered up. You've got the attorney for

423
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: the guy wearing the blue wig, the Blue Man group.

424
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: That guy. His attorney said the matter will now likely

425
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: be subject to formal legal proceedings. Well, the League of

426
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: course saw that, and they heard about that, and then

427
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: DK's got his representation and so okay, the league, they're like, oh,

428
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: we got to do something about it. What are we

429
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna do? I don't know. Roger Gell's like, I gotta

430
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: act like an insurance adjuster at that point. I gotta

431
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: limit liability. And so it's not NFL anymore. It's like

432
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: going down to Pep Boys and you pull into the

433
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: bay there and you say, all right, can we install

434
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: the blame air bags. We'd like to blame air bags.

435
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: We want to rotate the tires there. Okay, we'll rotate

436
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: the tires. We want the full legal inspection on how

437
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: we can limit our liability. Okay, we got you on that.

438
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: No problem. Two games, no pay, Boom goes the dynamite.

439
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: Boom goes to the dynamite. That is preventative maintenance by

440
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. Preventive maintenance by the NFL. Now ambulance chasing lawyers,

441
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know how it is in your time.

442
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: We do the show from Los Angeles and there are

443
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: more ambulance chasing billboards for these lawyers chasing chasing the

444
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: insurance companies. It is next level all right, Literally, I

445
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: count them on board. It's like some people count cheap.

446
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: I got a long drive home to the north Woods

447
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: and I count. I count the billboards and it's it's wild.

448
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: They must make so much money. Think about how much

449
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: that's a small percentage they're spending on advertising. I love

450
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: the spending on advertising, but it's a small percentage. Imagine

451
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: how much money they're making. It's wild. It's absolutely wild.

452
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: So you got these ambulance chasing lawyers who love this

453
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. You got the slip and fall with

454
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions Steeler game, which was the big game

455
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 1: on CBS. You had Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. So

456
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: DK's got counseled both. Everyone's drawn a line in the

457
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: sand here. And once that happens, the NFL hits the button.

458
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: They press the button and they go to full shield defense,

459
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: protect the shield, and they're trying to not get posterized.

460
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: They don't want some kind of discovery, trying to avoid discovery, emails, texts,

461
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: security logs at the stadium. Suddenly it becomes a Netflix

462
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: true crime documentary. And have we you've seen the guy

463
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: with the blue wig. Is he wearing a neck brace.

464
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: Now is he going my neck, my back, my neck

465
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: in my back? Is he doing that? No, one of

466
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: the great lines in cinema of all time. He isn't

467
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: doing that? All right? Well, anyway, So the NFL chose

468
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: to be proactive here and suspend wide receiver DK Metcalf.

469
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: They will, they wave wolf, they wave the accountability flag quietly,

470
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: assuming that the appeal will knock down the suspension from

471
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: two games to one game. Metcalf's already appealed, so they're like,

472
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get that down to one game. He'll

473
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: miss one game and then he'll be back. He's got

474
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: no priors, he's got a clean resume. And so this

475
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: isn't so much discipline, if you will, it's DC, not

476
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: DC comics. It's damage control, is what. The NFL isn't angry,

477
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: they're just nervous. They don't want to have to pay

478
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: out any money in some kind of settlement. The guy

479
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: will see because you don't just sue the stadium. You

480
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: don't just sue the Lions. If you're a good ambulance

481
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: chasing attorney, you sue the NFL. You go where the

482
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: money is and you say, this is a big problem.

483
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: The NFL did not have proper security at the stadium

484
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: and the fan was allowed to run amok and the

485
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: video of DK Metcalf coming down. Now, I did see

486
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: DK throw a useful idiot in the media. I believe

487
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: that was Ocho. Sinko did use the race bomb. He

488
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: used the race card from the bottom of the deck.

489
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: I'm a little skeptical if that's true, based on the

490
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: fact that he didn't use it right away, and that

491
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: is the ultimate get out at jail free card. You

492
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: would think if that happened that DK Metcalf would have

493
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: said that right away, or would have had Mike Tomlin

494
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: say that, or some pr hack for the Steelers would

495
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: have said, yeah, but yeah, DK might have taken a

496
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: shot at him, try to throw a little jab at him. Yeah,

497
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: but the guy said his mama was a big lard

498
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: ass or you know, he said this and then he

499
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: used the N word or something like. He didn't say

500
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: that he snuck out the back door like Travis Kelcey

501
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs lose, he snuck out the back door,

502
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: and so that leads me to leave. That's kind of like,

503
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of bogus because you say that right away

504
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, everyone runs to your defense and say, okay,

505
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: well yeah, you attack the guy whatever. But we know

506
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: he deserved it, and so there you go. All right now,

507
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Page two money, money, money, It's all about the money.

508
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: It's all about the money. And so with this punishment,

509
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf the two game suspension for violating the tenants

510
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: of the NFL rule book. It's gonna cost him five

511
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five thousand dollars if the appeal is

512
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: not overturned. So imagine every two weeks you get five

513
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five thousand dollars. You'd probably show up

514
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: to work a lot, so five hundred and fifty thousand

515
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: dollars in salary. However, but wait, there's more. But wait

516
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: there's more. We are also told that because of this violation,

517
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf has now voided with a capital V, he

518
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: has voided forty million dollar in future guaranteed money. So

519
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: that's forty point five million if my malor math is correct.

520
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: That is an ouy gooey mess, is what that is? Wow?

521
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: All right, So question DK Metcalf Steeler wide receiver losing

522
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: forty million dollars in garanteed money is blank. Fill in

523
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: the blank. So my word is gad zukery with a

524
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: capital G. Gadzukery is my word here, DK Metcalf. The

525
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: forty point five million dollars in guaranteed money. That's it.

526
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: This is a This is not a parking ticket. This

527
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: is a I spent too long parking in the loading zone. No,

528
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: this is not that. No, no, no, this is much more.

529
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: This is a generational fumble territory for DK Metcalf if

530
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: this works out. Now, you didn't just drop the football,

531
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: all right, You punted your wallet into the harbor somewhere,

532
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: is what you did. I would like, what are we

533
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: doing here? And two games, five hundred and fifty five thousand,

534
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: as we said, and then wham the guaranteed money. The

535
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: language in the contract evaporates like beer foam at last

536
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: call for alcohol. This is butter fingers economics. Butter fingers economics.

537
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: The NFL contract is a bit of a mouse trap.

538
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: It's the standard verbiage in every NFL contract. You touch

539
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: the cheese and snappity snap, it goes. There goes the

540
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: golden goose. Now, the conduct violation by DK Metcalf, that

541
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: is the catch all guillotine. It's the garbage disposal of

542
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: the NFL High Crimes and misdemeanors. Territory is what it is,

543
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: and the hurt feelings all wrapped up there and all

544
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: that stuff, and so you go. You had all that

545
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: mixed together. Imagine losing forty million dollars. Possibly this is

546
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. It's kind of like when somebody

547
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: comes up kind of say, well, you're facing up to

548
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: up to fifteen years and jet well, no one really

549
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: gets the maximum sentence, so you're not really facing that,

550
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: but you're facing some time. You're facing some time. So

551
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: it's it's obviously financial malpractice if it comes down to that.

552
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: You don't read the fine prince one of these things.

553
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: You sign the DOCU, sign your initial here, and you

554
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: sign there, and then that's it and you face planted

555
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: into it is what it is here, And so in theory,

556
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: you could choke the golden goose. Now, the good thing

557
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: for DK metcalf is he's really talented, and typically if

558
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: you're really talented, they kind of look the other way

559
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, we're not gonna we're not gonna

560
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: do Even though he could have choked the golden goose.

561
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: He did not do that, and so because of that

562
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: the damage will be limited. We'll see what happens on

563
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: the appeal. All right, now, final point to Jacksonville. We

564
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: go don't look now, but the Juguars are the talk

565
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL. They're the it team. Despite leaning in

566
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: to the fank that nobody thought we could win and

567
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: we suck and we're small market Jacksonville and all that.

568
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: Despite that, the Jaguars are playing pretty well and that

569
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: led to defensive end Travon Walker, big first round pick,

570
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: Travon Walker, who had a message for the band wag Nurs.

571
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: The band wag nurs who are flushing. They're running down

572
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: to the train station. They're trying to catch on the

573
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: on the bandwagon. They'll jump on there. True, true, that's

574
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: the Jags bandwagon. So his message is two words, stay away,

575
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: stay away, stay away. He said, quote everyone gonna try

576
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: to hop on this bandwagon. Travon Walker said, everyon's gonna

577
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: try to jump on the bandwagon. Now, we don't want nobody.

578
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 1: Stay where you're at. And then he went and then

579
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: he worked blue. He said, f everyone but us. But

580
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: then he apologies. He said, listen excuse my language. Well,

581
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: when you'd say the F word, you say, exchoose my language. Okay,

582
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: all things are forgiven. So he said, excuse my language, mom,

583
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 1: and dad and grandma. But then he said if everybody

584
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: but us, all right? Close quote. So he he said

585
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: excuse my language to his mama, daddy, and grandma and

586
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 1: then used bad, bad language again. All right. Question, how

587
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: does Travon Walker's rant about keeping the Bandwagon fans far

588
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: away from the Jaguars? How does that hit you?

589
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: So?

590
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: Walker, I thought this is amusing. I was. I brought

591
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: it up on the show, so I thought it was interesting.

592
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: A Walker out there acting like he's the bouncer at

593
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: the NFL Fan nightclub and it's like kind of like

594
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: a dive bar, the NFL Fan Nightclub, and there's like

595
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: sticky floors. You don't know what that is. You hope

596
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: it's just spilled alcohol, not something else that could be sticky.

597
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: And then you've got the broken jukebox, got that going

598
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: on over there, and we don't want nobody. You just

599
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: stuck behind the velvet ropes. You're not coming in here.

600
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: And of course the response to that is hey, buddy,

601
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: bye bye to bat Hey buddy, this is not some

602
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: kind of underground punk show. It's the NFL, the world's

603
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: biggest strip mall, is what it is here. And so

604
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: winning means foot traffic, right, you want the foot traffic.

605
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: This means foot traffic. My word though, for this, for

606
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: the star defensive players Rovron Walker saying we don't want

607
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: any bandwagon fans, my word is it's an o word. Obtuse.

608
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: That is my word here. Obtuse is the word because

609
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: it is obtuse. It's silo thinking, is what it is.

610
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: It's for the those uneducated on how the economics of

611
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: all this work in the entertainment business. Now, last I checked,

612
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jags are not let me say not Apple.

613
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: They are not Apple, they are not Microsoft. It's a

614
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: startup trying to pitch venture capital. Now they want some

615
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: venture capital with a PowerPoint that just says trust us Bro.

616
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: That's the Jaguars manstra trust us Bro is the mantra.

617
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: So winning games has always been universally accepted as a

618
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: marketing plan. It just is you don't dead bolt the door.

619
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: You don't dead bolt the door and not allow customers

620
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: in when they finally show up. And that's it. Every

621
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: fan base, you know, every single fan base was built

622
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: on the back of the bandwagon. The fumes of the

623
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: bandwagon created every fambush. When I was a kid, the

624
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: teams that were really good most years, the Cowboys, the Raiders,

625
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins and those little kids. And it's still

626
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: this case, you know, nine to twelve years old, those

627
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: that still love sports as kids, you jump on to

628
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,720
Speaker 1: a bandwagon between the ages of nine and twelve whatever

629
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: team's winning, because every kid wants to be a winner,

630
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: and you want to be a front runner and all

631
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: that stuff. So there you go, and then you find yourself.

632
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: You do that when you're like nine or ten, and

633
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: then you find yourself in your late forties and all

634
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're still emotionally damaged because you made

635
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: a decision when you were nine or ten years old,

636
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: and you're buying throwback jerseys and all that stuff. And

637
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: so I had The Niners have a lot of fans,

638
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: and many of those fans are cause forty years ago

639
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: in the in the nineteen eighties, they had a guy

640
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: named Joe Montana and it's spuilding in the nineties with

641
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: Steve Young and they won a lot and so those

642
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: people grew up and now they've got kids and it's

643
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: like a family thing and all that stuff. That's the deal.

644
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: So Travon Walker wants some kind of purity test to

645
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: be a Jacksonville fan, which is really cute, isn't that cute?

646
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: That's cute, man. But this is not a monastery. It's not.

647
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: It's a business, and so if you want growth in

648
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: that business, it would be like us, we only want now.

649
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like the only seven people call the show

650
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: because for some reason everyone's intimidated unless we do a

651
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: newbie night to call the show. But we always want

652
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: new people to come to our store. Our stores open

653
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: all night. We want people you forgot something, come down

654
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: to the overnight audio shack and we're the radio shack

655
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: over here. We'll take care of it. But you want growth,

656
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: that's what you want in any business in the NFL.

657
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: You want the casuals. You need the casuals, you need

658
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: the low information fan, you want the tourists, you want

659
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: the front runners, you need all of them, all right.

660
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: You want people breaking ankles, jumping on the band wagon.

661
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: Is that's the goal. That's what you want. And this

662
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: rant hit me. It's like a guy standing in front

663
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: of the Walmarts and if you don't live within three

664
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: blocks of the Walmart, do not come in. Well, no,

665
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: it's a big box store. They need people from all over.

666
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: So congratulations, Jacksonville's won a few games. Here, they're feeling

667
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: good about themselves and you're sabotaging the storefront. I would

668
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: love to have been a fly on the wall in

669
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: the marketing department for the Jaguars. So one of your

670
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: top defensive players is telling people who don't really like

671
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: the team not to support the team. Okay, really, but

672
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: that's asset winning is a secret society. It's like the

673
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: Cross and the skulling Bones, and it's a secret society.

674
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: It's a billboard. It is a billboard, is what it is.

675
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

676
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

677
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: Weet Mallard to a third degree. Here we go hit that,

678
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: but right now, mall oh my god, mallod gets Mallard.

679
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: How about that to the third degree. I know this

680
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: is one big event, gets grill kuvlu.

681
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 6: So the Broncos lost for the first time since September twenty.

682
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: First they got your ass kick, Coop. They lost, They

683
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: got their ass kick.

684
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 6: They lost, And after the game, bo Nix said that

685
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 6: the l could be a good reset for the team, saying,

686
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 6: you'd rather have it you now than in the first

687
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 6: round of the playoffs.

688
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben, does he have a point. Well, first of all,

689
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: it's a great point. The Raiders have had a lot

690
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: of recess, The New York Giants have a lot of recess.

691
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: The Jets have had a lot of recess. It really

692
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: works out well for those teams. Yes, no, it's not

693
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: good and there's no guarantee just because you've lost the

694
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: game with two weeks ago in the season, that you're

695
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: gonna win a bunch of games. That's you know, that's

696
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: fool logic, is what that is. It was the Broncos

697
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: looked bad. Their defense got sliced up by Trevor Lawrence,

698
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: and they couldn't do enough on offense to keep up

699
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. It was not a good day. It doesn't

700
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: mean that Broncos are not gonna win the Super Bowl.

701
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: But don't tell me because you had lost in Week

702
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: sixteen that's somehow something to brag about. It's not next.

703
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 6: During Saturday's game between the Eagles and Commanders. Philly was

704
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 6: up seventeen points with about four minutes to go in

705
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 6: the game and went for a two point conversion that

706
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 6: led to a scuffle between the players.

707
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: And after the game.

708
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 6: Commanders coach Dan Quinn did not seem too thrilled by

709
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 6: the move, Ben, do you think it was disrespectful?

710
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: Well? I think what was disrepectful is the way the

711
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: Commanders have played since Week six. They have one since

712
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: Week six, one win that was against the Giants. That's it.

713
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: That's all. They've lost every other game since week six,

714
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: So that's this. No, this stuff's kind of non play.

715
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: Better do better. Don't give me that crap. Come on,

716
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: it's not Pop Warner football. Stop your professionals.

717
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 6: Next, the Saint Louis Cardinals are currently in a full

718
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: full tear Dome mode, and on Saturday, they traded all

719
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 6: star ketcher Wilson Contreras to the Red Sox.

720
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: Ben, how big of a get is this for Boston?

721
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: He's he's a good player. I don't know he's a

722
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: great player, But you're adding another good player if you're

723
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: depending on him to lead you. If you're the Red Sox,

724
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be disappointed. I think he's proven he's not

725
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: that guy. You're not that guy, pal, But Contreras in

726
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: a secondary role is pretty lethal actually, And he's a

727
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: guy that you don't expect him to lead the way.

728
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: But if he's just adding, it's like adding extra candy

729
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: that you don't really need the extra candy, but just

730
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: nice to have it. And it's it's not a bad

731
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: thing there. It is cool. Mallarly, third degree, how did

732
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: we do?

733
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 6: You almost auto failed that, but but you did say

734
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 6: that it doesn't mean that they're not going to win

735
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: the super Bowl, So so you've passed this in there.

736
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: It is I want again closing out the year in

737
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:14,279
