I was thinking, and I want to 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: get to last night's Blue Jays comeback win. We'll get 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: on last night's NFL games, the second of which congrats 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: to Dan Byer's Seattle Seahawks. But I think we can 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: all agree ugly football game, right, like like Dan's probably like, dude, 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: we'll take it. Don't care. But that was not an 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: aesthetically pleasing game at all. No, you don't care, you 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: do care? 21 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: That was ugly It was absolutely awful, Doug. 22 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: It was. 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: It was atrocious all the time. You saw the football 24 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: over four times in a game, and you have an 25 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: opportunity to wrap it up, and they failed to do so. 26 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: One of the least satisfying wins in my memory for 27 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: the Seahawks, despite them being five and two. 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 1: I would so much rather win ugly than lose pretty. 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt. You know, just didn't have to be 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: like that. 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: No, it was a It was an ugly football like 32 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: so much so that, like I knew Jason didn't text 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: us last night, but I know he was chuckling. And 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: chortling's a word, right, Like we all know what chortling 35 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: is when you like kind of snort and chuckle at 36 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: the same time. Right, Jason was chortling last night because 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: he's been on this zero patur the everybody watched the 38 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: end even though the NFL's product isn't really any good, 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: and last night was one of his atta boy moments 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: because he was right. I was watching him, like, oh 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: my god, Jason's so right. This is such a bad 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: football game. You know. There's and again I want to 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: get to baseball. Give me one minute, but something you 44 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: said in the update was like the only reason to 45 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: maybe pay attention to tonight's Rockets Oklahoma City Thunder game. 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: You said the thunder are gonna get their rings tonight 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: and they're gonna take on Kevin Durant, Right, so there 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: are people that'll be in the crowd, not any of 49 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: the players. They'd be like, c KD, we want to 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: want a ring without you. He'd be like, I have two, 51 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: would have had three if I didn't get hurt. But 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: it's it's really interesting. It's like he's their former great player, 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: and tonight is a little bit of in your face, 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: we can win a championship here, you just weren't good 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: enough or want to stay long enough to win one. 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: I guess just the thing anyway, NBA season lacking a 57 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: lot of buzz for your boy. Even though love basketball, 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: coach basketball, love the NBA. It feels like there's probably 59 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: ten players that are over the hill that we're not 60 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: okay with saying they're over the hill, even though they 61 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: are right. And then there's the idea of the best 62 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: team is in Oklahoma City and people are just struggling 63 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: to come around to the fact because it's like, you 64 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: gotta win a championship to be a star, but you 65 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: got to be a star in some level or have 66 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: stars to win a championship. And we're stuck because Oklahoma 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: City won a championship before they had multiple bona fide stars, 68 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: which means we could have that there's a world there 69 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: where it becomes a dynasty and we're simply early on 70 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: in the dynasty, or there's a world where it was 71 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: an outlier. We'll get back to the NBA in a second. 72 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: Let's get to Major League Baseball. I was watching last 73 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: night George Springer hits this home run and the Blue 74 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: Jays come back, and what looked like it It didn't 75 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: look good. Granted, seventh inning, that's when it usually goes bad. 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: I thought last night, the seventh inning turnaround where they 77 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: put up three runs on the Springer home run, when 78 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: I and you guys didn't respond, which I was a 79 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: little hurt by. But that's okay, because people don't respond 80 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: to Dan's and then Dan gets hurt by it as well. 81 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: All of our feelings are crushed because we all have 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: other everybody else has lives, and when you send out 83 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a group text text, you think that immediately everybody's gonna 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: respond My text was baseball, because I was like, that's 85 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: the most that's the most cliche cliche baseball thing ever, 86 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: wasn't it. Like it's the Blue Jay's bottom half of 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: the seventh. The Mariners change pictures, they put wu in 88 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: Burger walks, then they get a single right, then the 89 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: sack bunt. Then they change pitchers, specifically bring in a 90 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: pitcher Edward Bizardo, and Bizardo comes in and gives up 91 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: a home run to George Springer. But the way the 92 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:31,559 Speaker 1: succession of events is as comeback cliche as possible. It's 93 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: wasn't the Dave Roberts when he kep He's he pinched ran. 94 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: But that inning, I believe was started with a walk. 95 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: Every late inning rally in baseball seems to start with 96 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: a walk. Like that's the cliche, that's how it always happens. 97 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: It's it's like the announcer Jinx in basketball. Right the 98 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: second you say something about somebody's free throw percentage, automatically 99 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: they're going to miss, you know. The second that you 100 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: don't pay attention to an extra point in football is 101 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: when a when you or when you act like this 102 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: is a guaranteed point, they're gonna make it. Something goes 103 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: wrong and it doesn't become a guaranteed point. And in baseball, 104 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: the most cliche thing about a comeback is the lead 105 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: off walk, Oh boy, the leadoff oh boy, and the 106 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: pressure builds up. Now buyer, have you and Jason? Have 107 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: you heard Jason go and do his rant about how 108 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: like he's really bothered that Springer George Springer hit the 109 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: home run last night because George Springer was the MVP 110 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: of the Sully Championship, because he was the MVP that 111 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: year when the Astros won the World Series. 112 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 2: We have not had a conversation. 113 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: He's he he just is really struggling with it. You know, 114 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: he's smoking hot girl friend. He can't talk to her. 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: He's struggling to come on air to put together a show. 116 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: And I get it, but it's it's like he was 117 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: personally hurt by this, or maybe it's that he's bothered. 118 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: And I get that. I actually understand it, because I mean, 119 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: think of think of the it's when we do the 120 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Judges the American League home run Champion, Why do 121 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: we do that? Well, Barry Bonds has the record. Yeah, well, 122 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: he was taking stories steroids. He says he didn't knowingly 123 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: take storoids, but he absolutely took steroids. He was he 124 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: this behemoth figure late in his thirties hitting out bombs, 125 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: and so whenever I see that, it doesn't sit well 126 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: with me. So were you, Jay stud just asking the question? 127 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Were you rooting against him the whole game or was 128 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: it after the fact that you hit the home run? 129 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: Like? 130 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: What is the experience like? As such an ardent Dodger 131 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: fan to watch George Springer be the. 132 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 4: Hero today, George Springer's on a short list of cheaters 133 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 4: from the twenty seventeen World Series that cost my Dodgers 134 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: a World championship. I think Yankee fans are even more 135 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: pissed off than I am because it cost them a 136 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: chance the World Series. And then Springer is on that shortlist, 137 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: right Alex Bregman. Uh Altuve tops the list, and then 138 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: Bregman I saw last night and it was listed in 139 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: the Chiron as an accolade. You know, they're like they'll 140 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 4: always give, like, you know, seven time MVP, he said, 141 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 4: twenty two postseason home runs, third all time, the MVP 142 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: of the twenty seventeen World Series. And I'm thinking I 143 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: think they included that in the graphic as an accolade, 144 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: when I think it's an albatross. And for those that 145 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: aren't familiar with the rhyme and the ancient mariner, the 146 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: albatross is something that you should be burdened by for 147 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 4: the rest of your life. You were the best cheater 148 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 4: on a team that admitted to cheating to win the 149 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 4: World Series. I will never root for him. I'm glad 150 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 4: we're playing him because I want to see us get 151 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 4: him out. But yeah, he's on that short list. 152 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting experience, and I actually do like 153 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: the more you describe it to me, the more I 154 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: understand like they should carry a Scarlett letter. The issue 155 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: with it for me is, I mean, unless I'm mistaken less, 156 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: there's something all last night's achievement was based upon his 157 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: own personal skill he didn't have. He didn't know what 158 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: pitch was coming. We don't know. And of course, when 159 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: you've done it once and the players were never punished, 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: what's to stop you from doing it again? But I 161 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: so listing his past accomplishment, I get it. But rooting 162 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: again against some current day I think you're rooting against 163 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: how people have let these guys slide more than rooting 164 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: against him. 165 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: He said, twenty three home runs in the postseason. I 166 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 4: think that's third all the time. You guys can fact 167 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 4: check me. Twenty three home runs in the postseason. The 168 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 4: problem with the cheating scandal is that all of those 169 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: home runs can be looked at through a different filter, Right, 170 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: he's a chest. 171 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: Yes, that's fair, Go ahead, Dan. 172 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna say, I think maybe the 173 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: tide has turned because we all saw that viral video 174 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: from this past summer on how jose L two vaight 175 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: was just verbally assaulted by a fan at Dodger Stadium. 176 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: Don't you think that that was maybe the turning point 177 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 2: in all of this, just verbally berated. 178 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so silver people. So for people who are are 179 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: newt to the show or you haven't listened, Uh, do 180 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: we have this the sound there? This was there was 181 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: one such fan who I mean, I mean he made 182 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: how you know he did, Dan? He made helse L 183 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: two a feel small they did. 184 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: I think this is where the tide turned. I don't 185 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: know if Jason agrees, but when I heard this clip 186 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: of the fan, I mean I think that that kind 187 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: of turned the tide. 188 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's would that fan say, Jason, there's twenty seven 189 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: ways in which you cheated. 190 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 4: There are He's number twenty seven, Altuve, and that the 191 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 4: fan made of I think one of the most original 192 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 4: Booze and jeer. I don't think Altuoda has ever heard 193 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 4: this year that twenty seven on the back of or 194 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 4: back stands for the number of pitches you knew were 195 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: coming in the twenty seventeen postseason. 196 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: That's funny. That's funny, You're funny. 197 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: I will say this to Jason's point that even if 198 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: the Astros were significantly punished or the players were significantly 199 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: punished for their roles in it, it's still a scarlet 200 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: letter that and dug to your point about it, but 201 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: even if they were to do their time, if you will, 202 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: that it would be still a part of their career. 203 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: Like a Rod had his suspensions and it's still a 204 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: part of his career with the steroid. But but it's not. 205 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: But it's not. This is this is where this is where. 206 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: I don't think that we look at a Rod's Let 207 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: me let me just make my point before you say it. 208 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: It's it's It makes it doubly worse that not only 209 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: is their life after death, that the players didn't even 210 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: feel a death. Is that fair? 211 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: Jason correct, No, that thing that maybe that was the 212 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 4: biggest indictment on the whole thing. They gave the players 213 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 4: immunity and they never suffered a consequence. 214 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: I will say it's kind of classic baseball. Like Alex 215 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: Rodriguez is broadcasting all these games, like there's the dude 216 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: who got caught twice with steroids? Like what what do 217 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: we what? And he's speaking on baseball. Why he was 218 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: a great talent, but everything he accomplished in his career 219 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: should be called in the question. They couldn't wait to 220 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: get him out of that Yankee clubhouse. And then when 221 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the Yankees get eliminated, like who gets the comment on 222 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: national team about the Yankees current and future history? Alex 223 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Rodriguez Like what, that's a weird one, but that's kind 224 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: of classic baseball. Barry Bonds, though he wasn't a good one, 225 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: became a hitting coach still around baseball when you know, 226 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: violated the core tenants of baseball. Pete Rose was the 227 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: one guy that was kicked out the game because he 228 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: was gambling on baseball. And now a part of it 229 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: is he's passed, but part of it is that's kind 230 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: of baseball and that they like they don't really want 231 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: to punish anybody, but it is a weird thing. I 232 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: do think it's a better series than the Mariners series 233 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: in that now you have a whole country that actually, 234 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: on some level cares, and you have the Dodgers. Otherwise 235 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: of your numbers would have been bad. And Seattle's just 236 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: such a niche market. Great market, but so niche. I'd 237 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: love a study to be done. I'd love Elias Sports 238 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: Bureau to find out how many comebacks a inning or 239 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: greater have started, Like what's percentage of postseason comebacks that 240 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: start with a leadoff walk. I'm watching and I was 241 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: doing the multi view. I'm not gonna lie to you guys, 242 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: but I did have the sound on on the baseball 243 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden seventh inning, Woo Woo walks 244 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: first batter, and I was like, oh, here we go, 245 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. And now we have 246 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: Blue Jays and Dodgers and the blue Jays. Let's also 247 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: be honest, like, they're not a poor team. They put 248 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money in this team. Maybe not Dodger money, 249 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: but plenty of money. This is not rich versus poor, 250 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: This is rich versus richer. Here's John Schnyder talking about 251 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: Jay Stu's boys, Springer and his team. 252 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: Before the game. I said, there there's always someone that's 253 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 5: gonna have a moment. Right in a game seven, winner 254 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 5: take all game. They had a couple, you know, from 255 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 5: one of their big name guys between Julio cal and 256 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 5: Josh So you never really know. So in the moment, 257 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 5: I've seen Georgie hit some homers, you know, and I 258 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 5: was just hoping that he got enough of it. And 259 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: when he did, you know, you kind of look around 260 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 5: and you see players and coaches reacting the way they did. 261 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 5: Kind of surreal in the moment when you're witnessing a 262 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 5: historic swing for the organization, you know what I mean. 263 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: And then you try to get back.

Okay, Well what about quarterback? 307 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: I've told you I didn't. I didn't understand the the 308 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: the Justin Field signing at all. Two years. It's not 309 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: huge money, but it's not backup money. Take a list 310 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: of would Johnson thinks about their quarterback play. 311 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 8: It looks like he's turning around parts of it. You know, 312 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 8: it's hard when you have a quarterback with you know, 313 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 8: with a rating that we've got. You knows, I mean, 314 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 8: he has the ability, but something just is not jiving. 315 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 8: But if you look at any any head coach of 316 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 8: the quarterback like that, you're going to see similar. 317 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: Results if you across the league. 318 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 8: You have to play consistently at that position, and that's 319 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 8: what we're going to try to do well. But we 320 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 8: can just complete a pass, it would look good. You know, 321 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 8: you got to complete some pathth You got to convince 322 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 8: him that you can do something. 323 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: If we could just complete a pass, it would look good. 324 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: That's what he That's what your owner just said about 325 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: the quarterback that he employs.

That sounded like there, 329 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: as I said before the year, they're going to be 330 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: in the market for a quarterback this offseason and then 331 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn is safe through this year. 332 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 3: In the next year, Yeah, I mean, I totally agree. 333 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: I mean I what I don't understand though, is what 334 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 3: he gave his GM as head coach, right, the money 335 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: and the latitude to make this decision, and they chose 336 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 3: this player. So it's like, you know, he's kind of 337 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 3: crapping on Justin Fields there, but Justin Fields has kind 338 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: of been the exact same guy since he's been in 339 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 3: the NFL. Yeah, but to me, the reflection is, do 340 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: I trust they just because one thing. Listen, if he 341 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 3: had been playing like this and they'd given him one 342 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 3: year six million dollars, like welcome to the NFL, that 343 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 3: happens all the time. But they end two years thirty 344 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed like that, that's not nothing, and all 345 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 3: of a sudden, we're gonna go, We're gonna left this 346 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: guy make our next quarterback decisions because let's face the 347 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 3: Jets are not exactly hot when it comes to quarterbacks. 348 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson disaster Fields now disaster. You know, the Rogers 349 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: thing clearly did not work out. So I don't know 350 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: what would give him the confidence that his GM and 351 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 3: head coach combination could figure this out. 352 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: Do you No? No, I didn't get it. Like Pittsburgh 353 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: had him last year and they were we'd prefer Russell 354 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: Wilson to him, and Russell Wilson can't play, and you know, 355 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: the year before, obviously he was in Chicago and they 356 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: couldn't wait to get rid of him there. 357 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: You know what, Doug. I mean, I know you do too. 358 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I watched a lot of college football. It 359 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: doesn't really feel like there's a lot of like Jaden 360 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 3: Daniels and you know, high end quarterback prospects in this class. 361 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 3: You know, Ty Simpson's a good player, but his team 362 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: stacks and you know he's a smaller player. Uh, Fernando 363 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 3: Mendoza's kind of I don't want to call him a 364 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: one hit wonder because he he was solid at Cow, 365 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 3: but I mean it's just and hes still got some 366 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: big games to play. It does not feel like just 367 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 3: because you have the number one pick, there's Matt Stafford 368 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 3: or Andrew lux sitting there. And let's face it, last year, 369 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: you know, I listen, it's that Giants game all timer. 370 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: But if you are a Giants fan, I think the 371 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: way you keep your head high as you go, we 372 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 3: wouldn't trade our quarterback for the guy that went number 373 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 3: one for anything, And I think that kind of shows 374 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: you as Jackson Dart went the mid twenties and cam 375 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 3: Ward went number one, and I don't think there are 376 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: many gms in the league right now. If you said, hey, 377 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: what quarterback would you want for the next five years. 378 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 3: I think Jackson don't would be pretty universal. It kind 379 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 3: of shows you. I mean, this is a it's an 380 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 3: inexact science, and especially with quarterback classes that aren't like 381 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 3: quote unquote can't miss it. 382 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm well out know you're right, but 383 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: I'm I'm very very close to certain you are in 384 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: fact correct. This is the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox 385 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. How do you Those types of losses take 386 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: like years off your life? And I thought that's what 387 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: brought down the Chargers in their previous regime. I mean, 388 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: I understand they weren't crazy well coached, and there's lots 389 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: of things that went wrong, but you know, they were 390 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: better than Jacksonville. They're up big, Jacksonville comes back and 391 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: beats him, and even the following year, it felt like 392 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers never recovered from that. Do you think a 393 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: younger Giants team can recover from that sort of collapse. 394 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 3: I think it's a little easier because you got Scataboo 395 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 3: Dart and Abdua Carter if that, you know, don't have 396 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: the scars of the last decade plus of just embarrassment 397 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: with the Giants. You know, I think sometimes it helps 398 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 3: being kind of green and NAIs. You know, if you're 399 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: for some of the older players on the Giants, it's 400 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: got to be like, what is going on? I do 401 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 3: think they're in a tough spot. You know, you got 402 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 3: to give day Ball credit because that video went viral 403 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 3: around the draft, Like Jackson dart was his guy. He 404 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 3: was the pounding the table for him. And clearly the 405 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 3: Giants once they keep the GM and head coach, they 406 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: gave we just talked about this with the Jets. They 407 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 3: gave them the Jews to make a pretty big decision, 408 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: and Jackson dart Is looks pretty good under his watch, right, 409 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 3: And I would say there's a lot of you know, 410 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 3: if you are going to suck, at least that power 411 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 3: of having hope with your quarterback. I mean, that's the 412 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 3: Dolphins and the Browns what it's like to suck and 413 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 3: have nothing with quarterbacks. Right. I kind of lean like 414 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 3: I would give them another year. I would let Dave 415 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: Ball work with this quarterback because how often I mean, 416 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 3: the Titans were not even to Halloween and they have 417 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 3: a coaching search going on. So even if cam Ward, who, 418 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: let's face it, I mean, does not look good, but like, 419 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 3: who would excel in that situation. I remember when I 420 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: was younger, I saw with Alice Smith with the forty 421 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 3: nine ers, Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary's most guys can't overcome 422 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 3: the dysfunction, and the Giants would be no different. If 423 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: it's like, oh, we just won five six games, fire everybody, 424 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: and then you know how it goes to coaches come 425 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 3: in so yeah, I like dark, but you really lie 426 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: like I love them. And then a year in, if 427 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: it's not going well, you start pivoting and you know, 428 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: looking for another guy, so it can just get weird. 429 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 3: I would tend and Giants fans might not want to 430 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 3: hear this, but to give Dave Ball like two years 431 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: with this quarterback, the running back, Abdul Carter, and just 432 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: see if there's any momentum by next year. 433 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: It is crazy as as much as he gets credited 434 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, whisper as good a job as he's 435 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: done with Dart on the Daniel Jones thing and how 436 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: it didn't work once they didn't have Saquon Barkley and 437 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: yet now you look at Daniel Jones and he's back 438 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: with a quality running back and they're one of the 439 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: best teams in the league. How do you account for that? 440 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: Well, you know, in fairness, like Daniel Jones was playing 441 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: so bad and their weapons were not great, especially once 442 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: Sake One left, Like when they caught him last. 443 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 4: Year, he was atrocious. 444 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: But I hear you listen, I think Shane psych and 445 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: if we were like the way we ranked players, I 446 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 3: think if we were ranking guys to call our offense 447 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 3: and we just pulled all the gms in the league, 448 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: change Psychins above Brian Baball, I mean, change Psyching. I 449 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 3: don't know. I don't want to say elite because I 450 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: know it's strugged, but I think he's pretty damn good. 451 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 3: And watching him against the Charger game, I mean, was 452 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: the last time you saw Jim Harbaugh defense just get 453 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: worked like that? I mean every single play, guys wide open, 454 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 3: little play action plays, guys just walking for ten to 455 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 3: fifteen yards. It was crazy. And one thing that they 456 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: have that the Giants just didn't. They're taking pretty stacked 457 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 3: on offense. I mean multiple wide receivers. The young tight 458 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: end looks like a starmer. I mean that's I mean, 459 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 3: that's a big picture thing with the Bears, like to 460 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 3: they so they have just if they could redo it 461 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: where they have taken Warren over Loveland And obviously the 462 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: running back is probably I think we're three straight years, right, 463 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 3: McCaffrey two years ago, Sakuon last year, and Jonathan Taylor 464 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 3: this year. Just like I'm the best non quarterback offensive 465 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 3: player in the league and no one can stop me 466 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 3: because that's how good Jonathan Taylor looks. I think it's 467 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 3: more of a reflection of Stiching and the team that 468 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 3: we've always said, the culture, just a solid quarterback away 469 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 3: and watching you know, first, I was like, you know, 470 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: Alex Smith's I think you could argue Daniel Jones is 471 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 3: more physically gifted than alis similar athletes, but definitely a 472 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: better arm. And he's made some throws this season that 473 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 3: I don't know, he just never really made in his 474 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 3: career with the Giants. 475 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: No, maybe it's being inside, not really sure that helps. 476 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 5: That helps? 477 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: Hey were it feels far away because it's Sunday night 478 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: and we're only here on a Tuesday. But Aaron Rodgers 479 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: and the Steelers the stunning thing to meet up for 480 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers was and didn't put any pressure on the Bengals 481 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: last week like nothing, and the Bengals ran the ball 482 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: at him and threw the ball at him. What's going 483 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh's defense. 484 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 3: Well, they had looked really good the previous weeks. I 485 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 3: do think when you get as the season goes on 486 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: road teams Thursday night, you're at such a big disadvantage. 487 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 3: And the reality is with the Steelers is like TV 488 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: watt relative to NFL terms kind of old. Ham Hayward's 489 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 3: really old. And they looked at in that game where 490 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 3: they had not looked at in the in just the 491 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 3: normal will Sunday, seven day work week cycles. So I'm 492 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 3: going to give them a little bit of the benefit 493 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 3: of doubt that it was just kind of heavy legs. 494 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Joe Flacco was eating a peanut 495 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 3: butter sandwich back there. And you know, this is what 496 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin was talking about, like in your division to 497 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 3: trade a capable quarterback because at the end of the day, 498 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 3: we can quibble with how the Bengals are built. Those 499 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 3: two hide receivers, especially Jamar Chase. I mean they are 500 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 3: if t Higgins your number two, you are pretty stacked 501 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: there and they just if you're not going to touch Blaco, 502 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 3: he can throw that kind of go route, fade route, 503 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: back shoulder route. I mean, he's gonna be able to 504 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 3: probably do that till he's eighty years old. So I 505 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 3: think it's more of a reflection of quick turnaround a seat. 506 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 3: I mean, who is Minnesota coming to LA this week? 507 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 3: Like that's that's a long travel As the season goes 508 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 3: on for Thursday night game. 509 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: No question, what's happened to Saquon Barkley. 510 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: I had a buddy in the league that thought, like, 511 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 3: you know, he everything last year, He's got a huge contract. 512 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: When Super Bowl has a star season kind of validates 513 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 3: like I'm a great player, and just the off season, 514 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 3: maybe you don't grind as hard, and all of a 515 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 3: sudden you get to the season and your offensive line's 516 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 3: not as good. You got injuries, you got some guys 517 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 3: that take off of free agency, you have a new coordinator. 518 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 3: So and even he talked about it. I think after 519 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 3: week three or four that I forget. It was like 520 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 3: Marshall fall or someone told him like, hey man, he's 521 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 3: got to let loose and kind of like you did 522 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: last year. But you're just you're not in the same mindset. 523 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 3: Once you know you climb the mountaintop. What do they 524 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: say that the greatest deterrence that successful times can just 525 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 3: be human nature. I don't necessarily blame him, but he 526 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 3: had a chip on his shoulder last year and then 527 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: started that off season with the Giants hard knocks, and 528 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 3: it just doesn't quite feel there. And in fairness to him, 529 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: there's a lot of other weird stuff going on, but 530 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: I think there's just a wear and tear, Like what 531 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: do you need to get your tires changed? Depending on 532 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 3: where you live? Every you know, so many, so many miles. 533 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 3: It's kind of like a running back when you run 534 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: for two thousand yards and you have all those carries 535 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: and touches, you're just probably not going to be the 536 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: same the next season. So especially when you're older, it's 537 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 3: one thing. If you're like a second year player. I mean, 538 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: he's been a league a while and he's battled injury, 539 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 3: so I think it's just a step slower. And most importantly, 540 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 3: their offensive line, especially guard center guard, is clearly not 541 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 3: as good. 542 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: That's the voice of John Middlecoff three and outs the 543 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: podcast on the Volume Podcast Network, telling you the best man, 544 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. 545 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 7: Be sure to catch the live edition of the Doug 546 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 7: Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific. 547 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio.

Packers, 568 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the uh, builds it to in Colts 569 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: at one? 570 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: Hmmm, builds it to in cult set one for the record. 571 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: Yep. 572 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: A week ago to this very second, Doug had chosen 573 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: the Steelers as the best team in the NFL and 574 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: they did not make the top three. 575 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: Well, they just lost on Thursday night to the Cincinnati 576 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: Bengals and had no pressure in context of the time. 577 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, they look great and they had one lot. 578 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: They were like four and one. They looked good. They 579 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: were going into place Cincinnati on Thursday night. Cincinnata looked 580 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: like crap with Joe Flacco just coming in a new 581 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: offensive line context of it, I don't feel the same now. 582 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: Colts the top team in the AFC. If the playoffs 583 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 2: started right now, the Packers would be the number one 584 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: seed in the NFC. 585 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: Hard to tell the Packers. Have you seen this where 586 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: they've scored twenty seven points in every win they've had 587 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: this year? And Brett Farv and Aaron Rodgers when they 588 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: won their first Super Bowl, we're both twenty seven years old. 589 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Love is twenty seven years old as well, and 590 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: they've scored twenty seven points in all their wins. 591 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: The twenty seven I had the twenty seven stat remember 592 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 2: that earlier in the year, you guys remember that on 593 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: Thursday Night, I do yes, and then Amazon threw Bart 594 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: Starr into the mix. 595 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 9: But I'd love it if the Packers could get off 596 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 9: twenty seven because twenty seven to me is just like 597 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 9: three hole hum touchdowns or four touchdowns and a missed 598 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 9: extra point. What do you can do for their math 599 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 9: on that? But I'd like it if they could score 600 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 9: something else other than twenty seven. They also have that 601 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 9: funky tie record, and yes, they've had kind of a 602 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 9: weird just a weird start, like good. 603 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: And it's no, you're right, Sam, I like the right next. 604 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: I text all my friends all the time, like are 605 00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: they good or are they just winning? As much as 606 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: you want to sit there and go, well, you know, 607 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: they beat Detroit, Like yeah's week one of the season 608 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: and We've one thing we've learned, especially the last five 609 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: years in the NFL, is first three or four weeks 610 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: don't really matter that there's lots of outlier outcomes. So 611 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have him third somebody. 612 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 9: If these twenty sevens are if these twenty sevens are 613 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 9: something of the cosmos. I don't know if I feel 614 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 9: like they're actually gonna go on to win a Super Bowl. Also, 615 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 9: twenty seven makes me think of the all the musicians 616 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 9: that dive twenty seven. 617 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 4: Well, Joseel Tuova's twenty seven most people. 618 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: Think about, Yeah, there's that one Heckler at Dodgers Stadium 619 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: roller this year and like all time great line. Some 620 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: about Josel tuve in twenty seven ways in which he 621 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: cheated or something or twenty seven shades are great. I'm 622 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: not really sure that. 623 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 6: What twenty seven stamps for the number of pitchers you 624 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 6: saw coming to the s twenty seventeen postseason. 625 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 2: Huh is that what twenty seven stamps for? Answer me? 626 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: And he didn't answer. That's so rude. 627 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 9: Jason called in Well two, they did not call back 628 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 9: whatever that Smith all right? 629 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: He actually gave an answer. It was a very short answer. 630 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: They wrote Geno Smith off, but he r right back. 631 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 2: That's what it was, all right, Doug, Well, rank your 632 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: top twenty seven teams in college football.

And I don't think 661 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: anybody thinks Michigan. 662 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: Is pretty play good, but it's still yeah, Michigan. 663 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: They got to get over that hump. 664 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 2: Completely different. 665 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a team they're going to be in 666 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: the college for a playoff. I have no but I 667 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: can't absolutely say that. I mean, I think Indiana's really 668 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: close to the I mean, Indiana's not gonna lose, though, 669 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: Indiana'll be in it. So the two big ten teams 670 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: we know will be in it. The SEC very much 671 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: up in the air, because I mean, you can lose 672 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: any of these games. I don't see I don't see them. 673 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to just take the time here quickly. The 674 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 2: loss by Miami this weekend was big for a lot 675 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 2: of reasons. With the Friday night loss, realistically, they could 676 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 2: have played in the Orange Bowl in the first round. 677 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 2: Basically that's a home game. 678 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: Yep. 679 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 2: Then the National semi Final and then the National Championship 680 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: game is in South Florida, so they would have had 681 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: two home games of the three playoff games if they 682 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 2: were to be a top four seed. So then you 683 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 2: can talk about where, like other teams are flying all 684 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 2: over the country to try to find these bowl games. 685 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 2: Ohio State was in Pasadena, then the Cotton Bowl and 686 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 2: then Atlanta last year, they would have just stayed in 687 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 2: South Florida. All right. Finally, Doug, rank your top three 688 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 2: MVP candidates for the upcoming season that starts tonight.
