To be the best 178 00:08:55,026 --> 00:08:56,666 Speaker 3: part of what the Raiders have done this year is Bower. 179 00:08:56,666 --> 00:08:58,666 Speaker 3: It's the best thing that's happened to the Powers. 180 00:08:58,786 --> 00:09:01,026 Speaker 6: When you look at Rock Bowers. I went to Brock 181 00:09:01,066 --> 00:09:02,666 Speaker 6: Bowers as well. On the right side of the screen. 182 00:09:02,906 --> 00:09:06,106 Speaker 6: Eighty four catches that leads the league. It's Jamar Chase 183 00:09:06,146 --> 00:09:09,186 Speaker 6: this see lamb is seventy nine, like he It's not rookies, 184 00:09:09,266 --> 00:09:09,746 Speaker 6: not tight ends. 185 00:09:09,786 --> 00:09:11,546 Speaker 3: It's like leading the league. That's insane. 186 00:09:11,706 --> 00:09:13,906 Speaker 6: Eighty four catches and like this is with like wonky 187 00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:16,826 Speaker 6: quarterback play, Like this is a phenomenon. 188 00:09:16,906 --> 00:09:18,066 Speaker 5: I love this for ours. 189 00:09:18,186 --> 00:09:19,386 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, me too. 190 00:09:19,546 --> 00:09:21,866 Speaker 7: I remember talking to coach Ap when it went down 191 00:09:21,866 --> 00:09:24,266 Speaker 7: to the facility and he was just like just so 192 00:09:24,546 --> 00:09:26,866 Speaker 7: high on, you know, on Brock Barers and what he 193 00:09:26,906 --> 00:09:29,906 Speaker 7: brings to the offense. So it's exciting to see him 194 00:09:29,906 --> 00:09:32,666 Speaker 7: get this recognition, even despite the fact that the Raiders 195 00:09:32,706 --> 00:09:34,506 Speaker 7: are struggling. But I got to say to you, though, 196 00:09:34,746 --> 00:09:37,546 Speaker 7: Peter like, what about Cooper Dejean one hundred and ninety 197 00:09:37,586 --> 00:09:40,826 Speaker 7: eight pounds He took down a tour and fifty six 198 00:09:40,866 --> 00:09:43,306 Speaker 7: pounds running back at sixty four. I mean that was 199 00:09:43,386 --> 00:09:46,426 Speaker 7: right there was that was that play alone should have 200 00:09:46,466 --> 00:09:47,746 Speaker 7: put him up in the conversation. 201 00:09:48,026 --> 00:09:50,506 Speaker 2: Yeah, okbar, he's been awesome and he had the tackle 202 00:09:50,586 --> 00:09:51,626 Speaker 2: of the week, no doubt. 203 00:09:51,706 --> 00:09:54,306 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still crying for more Beanie, Bishop Peter my 204 00:09:54,306 --> 00:09:56,266 Speaker 4: Guyan I thought in their show every. 205 00:09:56,026 --> 00:09:58,866 Speaker 3: Week Tari Pepson has an argument. 206 00:09:59,226 --> 00:10:01,546 Speaker 2: I know his teammate Peyton Wilson was pretty darn good 207 00:10:01,546 --> 00:10:04,506 Speaker 2: with a fumber recovery touchdown himself. So great week for 208 00:10:04,506 --> 00:10:20,346 Speaker 2: the rookies and they're only getting better at the season one. 209 00:10:23,026 --> 00:10:26,346 Speaker 2: The timing of the firing starts you off in an 210 00:10:26,386 --> 00:10:29,626 Speaker 2: unfortunate spot. Looks like you're discombobulated in an organized because 211 00:10:29,986 --> 00:10:33,906 Speaker 2: there was a nine am Central Time press conference scheduled 212 00:10:34,306 --> 00:10:36,986 Speaker 2: that Matty Ebfood's going to do his zoom with reporters 213 00:10:36,986 --> 00:10:38,026 Speaker 2: and answer every question. 214 00:10:38,146 --> 00:10:39,906 Speaker 3: And the theory that we even had on the. 215 00:10:39,866 --> 00:10:43,506 Speaker 2: Show on Friday morning was if if he's doing the 216 00:10:43,546 --> 00:10:46,106 Speaker 2: press conference. Obviously there was a conversation and they're like, 217 00:10:46,466 --> 00:10:48,666 Speaker 2: all right, let him do that and then he's good 218 00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:50,826 Speaker 2: and we'll keep on going. You wouldn't trot him out 219 00:10:50,826 --> 00:10:53,466 Speaker 2: for his second media session in twenty four hours and 220 00:10:53,506 --> 00:10:56,306 Speaker 2: then fire him. However, what I've learned from reporting is 221 00:10:56,346 --> 00:10:58,586 Speaker 2: that the Bears and they were inflexible on this. 222 00:10:58,706 --> 00:11:00,306 Speaker 3: I guess they didn't want to change it. 223 00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:03,626 Speaker 2: They also had a nine am Central time meeting with 224 00:11:03,746 --> 00:11:07,826 Speaker 2: Kevin Warren, the president, George McCaskey, the owner, Ryan Poles 225 00:11:07,866 --> 00:11:09,946 Speaker 2: the GM to talk about the future of the head 226 00:11:09,946 --> 00:11:12,426 Speaker 2: coach and where they were going to go, so they. 227 00:11:12,266 --> 00:11:14,426 Speaker 3: Didn't change the times on either one of those. 228 00:11:14,946 --> 00:11:17,666 Speaker 2: He does the full press conference, he's talking about playing 229 00:11:17,706 --> 00:11:20,346 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers next week, game planning and doesn't 230 00:11:20,386 --> 00:11:22,666 Speaker 2: seem to show a ton of contrition like that one 231 00:11:22,746 --> 00:11:26,546 Speaker 2: was on me. And then minutes after the press conference 232 00:11:26,586 --> 00:11:28,546 Speaker 2: he's told to come into the owner's office and he's 233 00:11:29,146 --> 00:11:33,426 Speaker 2: handed his walking papers. They have since now fired Shane Waldron, 234 00:11:33,706 --> 00:11:37,386 Speaker 2: who was a big hire at OC, and Matt Eberflus 235 00:11:37,786 --> 00:11:40,106 Speaker 2: with years left on their contracts. 236 00:11:40,346 --> 00:11:41,186 Speaker 3: So what's next. 237 00:11:41,426 --> 00:11:44,546 Speaker 2: I revealed some names yesterday on the Fox show. Ian 238 00:11:44,626 --> 00:11:47,146 Speaker 2: of course, did his work on the NFL Network show 239 00:11:47,546 --> 00:11:48,266 Speaker 2: You're going to hear. 240 00:11:48,146 --> 00:11:50,506 Speaker 3: The obvious ones. Vrabel's going to be mentioned. 241 00:11:50,826 --> 00:11:54,386 Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury, who coached Caleb in college, is going to 242 00:11:54,426 --> 00:11:55,826 Speaker 2: be mentioned. But I will say this with a red 243 00:11:55,906 --> 00:11:59,386 Speaker 2: flag on the Cliff thing. They interviewed Cliff Kingsbury eight 244 00:11:59,426 --> 00:12:03,066 Speaker 2: hours last year to be the offensive coordinator with Caleb 245 00:12:03,426 --> 00:12:05,146 Speaker 2: and chose Shane Waldron over him. 246 00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:07,226 Speaker 3: Does that mean that he is interviewed? 247 00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:08,866 Speaker 2: Does that mean if they didn't like him for the 248 00:12:08,866 --> 00:12:11,186 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator job and I suddenly Gonn a year later, 249 00:12:11,226 --> 00:12:12,586 Speaker 2: be like, actually, you're our head coach. 250 00:12:12,946 --> 00:12:13,986 Speaker 3: We'll see how that goes. 251 00:12:14,186 --> 00:12:16,826 Speaker 2: And then, of course Ben Johnson and Vrabel are other names. 252 00:12:16,986 --> 00:12:19,906 Speaker 2: I threw Marcus Freeman's name out there yesterday. He's the 253 00:12:19,946 --> 00:12:22,586 Speaker 2: head coach at Notre Dame, and it made waves and. 254 00:12:22,546 --> 00:12:23,786 Speaker 3: It was causing love. 255 00:12:24,266 --> 00:12:27,426 Speaker 2: I say that with knowledge of the situation. Kevin Warren 256 00:12:27,666 --> 00:12:30,266 Speaker 2: comes from the college world. They're looking for the leader 257 00:12:30,306 --> 00:12:33,186 Speaker 2: of men type. They might want to go younger as 258 00:12:33,226 --> 00:12:37,226 Speaker 2: opposed to going the Belichick route, and I'm not so sure. 259 00:12:37,306 --> 00:12:40,346 Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel is dying to go to the Bears if 260 00:12:40,386 --> 00:12:42,586 Speaker 2: that's their number one, if they want that type of 261 00:12:42,906 --> 00:12:47,346 Speaker 2: CEO thing. Marcus Freeman played at Ohio State. Obviously, it's 262 00:12:47,346 --> 00:12:50,666 Speaker 2: connections to the Bears. Hot name in college coaching. I 263 00:12:50,666 --> 00:12:52,546 Speaker 2: would think that's a name you'll hear more about for 264 00:12:52,586 --> 00:12:53,946 Speaker 2: that specific. 265 00:12:53,546 --> 00:12:55,426 Speaker 3: Job than for maybe others. 266 00:12:55,466 --> 00:12:57,706 Speaker 2: I think Marcus Freeman is one to watch, the Notre 267 00:12:57,786 --> 00:13:01,826 Speaker 2: Dame head coach for that. Chicago Bears gig that the 268 00:13:01,866 --> 00:13:04,066 Speaker 2: playoffs were going to start today, which they don't. The 269 00:13:04,186 --> 00:13:06,866 Speaker 2: Chiefs would have the first week off and then they 270 00:13:06,906 --> 00:13:09,466 Speaker 2: would host the AFC playoffs the rest of the way. 271 00:13:09,506 --> 00:13:12,986 Speaker 2: And yet I have grave concern about this Kansas City team. 272 00:13:13,026 --> 00:13:16,346 Speaker 2: They played down to the level of whoever they are 273 00:13:16,426 --> 00:13:21,066 Speaker 2: against the Raiders on Friday. Absolutely dominated at the line 274 00:13:21,066 --> 00:13:21,786 Speaker 2: of scrimmage. 275 00:13:21,866 --> 00:13:24,426 Speaker 3: And this is new for Chiefs fans. 276 00:13:24,466 --> 00:13:27,106 Speaker 2: It's one thing to be in these shootouts and these 277 00:13:27,106 --> 00:13:31,946 Speaker 2: thrilling games. I mean, you have to have serious concern 278 00:13:32,426 --> 00:13:34,906 Speaker 2: if you're a Chiefs fan that Patrick Mahomes even gonna 279 00:13:34,906 --> 00:13:36,666 Speaker 2: make it through the season. The way that their offensive 280 00:13:36,666 --> 00:13:40,906 Speaker 2: line could not stop Crosby and the Rejuvenators Levion chas On, 281 00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:45,186 Speaker 2: who was also became Lawrence Taylor on Friday. Guys, it 282 00:13:45,266 --> 00:13:47,946 Speaker 2: was so bad that they took Wanya Morris, who's been 283 00:13:48,586 --> 00:13:49,666 Speaker 2: playing nobly as. 284 00:13:49,586 --> 00:13:52,466 Speaker 3: A second year guy I love. They moved him. 285 00:13:52,386 --> 00:13:54,706 Speaker 2: And they benched him, and they put Joe Toney, who's 286 00:13:54,706 --> 00:13:57,426 Speaker 2: been one bit guards and football. Joe Toney finished the 287 00:13:57,426 --> 00:14:00,426 Speaker 2: game at left tackle, which is not what they expect. 288 00:14:00,466 --> 00:14:03,826 Speaker 3: So here you go. You've got Kingsley. 289 00:14:03,706 --> 00:14:06,946 Speaker 2: Swamatia, who has been in their early and then he 290 00:14:06,986 --> 00:14:07,666 Speaker 2: got benched. 291 00:14:07,746 --> 00:14:09,946 Speaker 3: Then you got Janya Morris at left tackle. 292 00:14:10,666 --> 00:14:14,306 Speaker 2: Crosby and Chase On just absolutely destroyed them this game. 293 00:14:14,906 --> 00:14:18,866 Speaker 2: And now you've got DJ Humphreys, who was a former 294 00:14:19,226 --> 00:14:21,186 Speaker 2: star player in this league, who hasn't done a lot 295 00:14:21,226 --> 00:14:23,026 Speaker 2: in the last of the weeks coming off the ACL. 296 00:14:22,666 --> 00:14:25,186 Speaker 3: Injury, who they're waiting to get ready to play. 297 00:14:25,186 --> 00:14:28,666 Speaker 2: But like, if you're telling me the Chiefs had serious 298 00:14:28,786 --> 00:14:33,186 Speaker 2: concerns about left tackle going into the stretch run in 299 00:14:33,226 --> 00:14:35,666 Speaker 2: the playoffs, and that they're winning games against the Raiders 300 00:14:35,746 --> 00:14:37,946 Speaker 2: nineteen seventeen on weird miss snap. 301 00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:38,946 Speaker 3: Box plays by the other team. 302 00:14:38,986 --> 00:14:41,826 Speaker 2: Like, I know that there's a wherewithal and a way 303 00:14:41,866 --> 00:14:44,226 Speaker 2: to win, and there's an experience factor that's getting into 304 00:14:44,226 --> 00:14:47,026 Speaker 2: these victories. But like I watch a lot of football, 305 00:14:47,506 --> 00:14:49,386 Speaker 2: I talk to a lot of Like that's something you 306 00:14:49,426 --> 00:14:53,346 Speaker 2: can't just fix with experience and guile, like, if your 307 00:14:53,466 --> 00:14:54,986 Speaker 2: left tackle can't stop. 308 00:14:54,746 --> 00:14:57,066 Speaker 3: Anyone, you're not gonna win big games. 309 00:14:57,106 --> 00:15:00,146 Speaker 2: If your offensive line isn't good, your quarterback can't be 310 00:15:00,186 --> 00:15:02,706 Speaker 2: at his best. And if your offensive line can't stop 311 00:15:02,826 --> 00:15:05,866 Speaker 2: the Raiders defensive line, you can't establish the run. 312 00:15:06,546 --> 00:15:08,546 Speaker 3: To be all negative here, but like I came out. 313 00:15:08,426 --> 00:15:14,066 Speaker 2: Of Friday's Chiefs win feeling really down and really concerned 314 00:15:14,226 --> 00:15:17,066 Speaker 2: about what Kansas City has going on. Over the stretch run. 315 00:15:18,426 --> 00:15:19,346 Speaker 3: Was amazing and then you needed to know. 316 00:15:19,466 --> 00:15:21,746 Speaker 2: But this is what you call a body blow game. 317 00:15:21,906 --> 00:15:25,146 Speaker 2: These two teams were going after it the entire first 318 00:15:25,506 --> 00:15:26,306 Speaker 2: three quarters. 319 00:15:26,346 --> 00:15:28,266 Speaker 3: Just punch jab punch jab nine. 320 00:15:28,146 --> 00:15:32,586 Speaker 2: Nothing early, but gosh, this Eagles team just wears you 321 00:15:32,826 --> 00:15:34,866 Speaker 2: down and beats you up. 322 00:15:34,906 --> 00:15:37,906 Speaker 3: And then when you need him most their saquon like 323 00:15:37,906 --> 00:15:39,666 Speaker 3: you're waiting for the big one to pop.

This is second half alone. 339 00:16:20,386 --> 00:16:22,906 Speaker 4: Sae Quon's second half would be the fifth leading rusher 340 00:16:22,906 --> 00:16:23,306 Speaker 4: in the league. 341 00:16:23,386 --> 00:16:25,986 Speaker 3: Yes, I saw that now, So you had that he's 342 00:16:25,986 --> 00:16:27,426 Speaker 3: a killer in the second half. 343 00:16:27,426 --> 00:16:29,426 Speaker 2: And if you're in his body blow games, I said 344 00:16:29,426 --> 00:16:31,346 Speaker 2: that now four times at the end. 345 00:16:31,386 --> 00:16:32,786 Speaker 3: Like in boxing, when. 346 00:16:32,626 --> 00:16:35,026 Speaker 2: You just get bodyblow, body blow, body blow, body blow, 347 00:16:35,346 --> 00:16:38,306 Speaker 2: by the ninth, tenth round, you can't take him anymore 348 00:16:38,506 --> 00:16:38,906 Speaker 2: and you. 349 00:16:38,986 --> 00:16:41,706 Speaker 3: Just have to fall down. And that's what's happening with 350 00:16:41,866 --> 00:16:44,666 Speaker 3: these Eagles. But you know, we saw Beckton. 351 00:16:44,906 --> 00:16:47,666 Speaker 2: This is such an aside and it's probably for Eagles 352 00:16:47,706 --> 00:16:50,706 Speaker 2: dot Com or for the die hard Eagles fan. What 353 00:16:50,866 --> 00:16:55,746 Speaker 2: a testament to Stoutland, to Kellen Moore, to that offensive 354 00:16:55,826 --> 00:16:59,386 Speaker 2: line that the Jets discard of Makai Beckton can't get 355 00:16:59,466 --> 00:17:01,546 Speaker 2: his weight in shape. He's just not a player. He's 356 00:17:01,586 --> 00:17:05,826 Speaker 2: a first round bust. They stick Becton at a new position. 357 00:17:05,746 --> 00:17:08,346 Speaker 3: And he's powing over the Ravens. 358 00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:11,346 Speaker 2: Defense in crunch time and Saquon is following his lead. 359 00:17:11,826 --> 00:17:14,466 Speaker 2: Everything is going right for Philly right now. And they're 360 00:17:14,506 --> 00:17:17,786 Speaker 2: not the most esthetically pleasing team. They are an old 361 00:17:17,946 --> 00:17:21,306 Speaker 2: school boxer and they put you in the corner and 362 00:17:21,346 --> 00:17:24,786 Speaker 2: they just pound you until you can't respond. That's the 363 00:17:24,826 --> 00:17:28,146 Speaker 2: type of team that wins in January, folks, I would 364 00:17:28,186 --> 00:17:31,186 Speaker 2: say the forty nine ers have been way more disappointing. 365 00:17:31,226 --> 00:17:34,746 Speaker 2: And a player got shot in August, Like what are 366 00:17:34,746 --> 00:17:36,506 Speaker 2: we talking about here? And then you want to talk 367 00:17:36,506 --> 00:17:38,866 Speaker 2: about real life tragedies, go look at the headlines what 368 00:17:38,946 --> 00:17:40,706 Speaker 2: was going on this week with the forty nine ers, 369 00:17:40,706 --> 00:17:42,586 Speaker 2: Like this is one of those seasons that could not 370 00:17:42,786 --> 00:17:45,346 Speaker 2: end faster for San Francisco and everyone just go take 371 00:17:45,386 --> 00:17:46,506 Speaker 2: a break and we'll see. 372 00:17:46,386 --> 00:17:47,906 Speaker 3: You back in July next year. 373 00:17:47,986 --> 00:17:51,026 Speaker 2: It has been so off the rails, it has been 374 00:17:51,186 --> 00:17:54,586 Speaker 2: so tragic, and then you add in the injuries on 375 00:17:54,666 --> 00:17:57,946 Speaker 2: top of it, one player after another. Last week's injury 376 00:17:57,946 --> 00:18:01,346 Speaker 2: report was horrible going in with Bosa out and with 377 00:18:01,386 --> 00:18:03,466 Speaker 2: all these different injuries and Trent was out, and then 378 00:18:03,466 --> 00:18:07,346 Speaker 2: obviously we lose McCaffrey in a non contact in right 379 00:18:07,346 --> 00:18:08,426 Speaker 2: away and he's on the. 380 00:18:08,386 --> 00:18:11,906 Speaker 3: IR something I'm gonna jump in. You mentioned just go 381 00:18:11,946 --> 00:18:13,346 Speaker 3: to the off season and start over. 382 00:18:13,626 --> 00:18:16,906 Speaker 4: Is there any forecasts for massive change in San Francisco? 383 00:18:17,026 --> 00:18:19,266 Speaker 2: I mean like I wouldn't okay, so like Jed is 384 00:18:19,946 --> 00:18:23,186 Speaker 2: one who would obviously make changes. Jim Tumsulla fired after 385 00:18:23,186 --> 00:18:25,106 Speaker 2: a year, Chim Kelly fired after a year, They went 386 00:18:25,186 --> 00:18:25,586 Speaker 2: hired a. 387 00:18:25,546 --> 00:18:26,506 Speaker 3: Broadcaster as GM. 388 00:18:26,546 --> 00:18:28,826 Speaker 2: And it's not like Jed York isn't afraid to make a 389 00:18:28,866 --> 00:18:32,666 Speaker 2: big swing. I do not think Kyle Shannan or John 390 00:18:32,746 --> 00:18:35,226 Speaker 2: Lynch had anything to worry about. This has been such 391 00:18:35,426 --> 00:18:37,986 Speaker 2: an outlier of a season of things that those two 392 00:18:38,026 --> 00:18:40,306 Speaker 2: men can't control. And I know Niners fans are like, wow, 393 00:18:40,506 --> 00:18:42,386 Speaker 2: now wait in a second. When you talk about what 394 00:18:42,466 --> 00:18:45,906 Speaker 2: this team has been through injury wise, personal LifeWise, off 395 00:18:45,906 --> 00:18:48,626 Speaker 2: the field wise, definitely, it has been one of one 396 00:18:48,906 --> 00:18:50,306 Speaker 2: and I would say that is what makes it the 397 00:18:50,306 --> 00:18:51,266 Speaker 2: most disappointing season. 398 00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:53,666 Speaker 3: Those guys are safe if they want to be. I 399 00:18:53,706 --> 00:18:54,986 Speaker 3: love this. They could take it anywhere. 400 00:18:55,106 --> 00:18:58,746 Speaker 2: So from a generation before me, Hagler, hearns was like 401 00:18:58,866 --> 00:19:00,786 Speaker 2: the rivalry and that was one that everyone and then 402 00:19:00,826 --> 00:19:03,946 Speaker 2: before that it was Ali Fraser. But for me, growing 403 00:19:04,026 --> 00:19:07,586 Speaker 2: up a kid in the nineties when image was everything, 404 00:19:07,946 --> 00:19:12,146 Speaker 2: I thought Agassy Sampris was the rivalry of the nineties. 405 00:19:12,266 --> 00:19:13,986 Speaker 3: I'm going men's tennis, folks. 406 00:19:14,546 --> 00:19:19,186 Speaker 2: These guys played each other thirty four times in Grand 407 00:19:19,186 --> 00:19:23,106 Speaker 2: Slam tournaments, with the head to head Sampress winning twenty 408 00:19:23,106 --> 00:19:26,746 Speaker 2: to fourteen, and the two of them went back and forth. 409 00:19:26,786 --> 00:19:29,786 Speaker 2: Look in the nineties, Sampress was number one for two 410 00:19:29,906 --> 00:19:32,666 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty six weeks and Agassy was for one. 411 00:19:32,666 --> 00:19:35,346 Speaker 3: Hundred and one weeks. These were two legends and they 412 00:19:35,346 --> 00:19:36,026 Speaker 3: would always end. 413 00:19:36,026 --> 00:19:38,586 Speaker 2: Up playing each other. Now in the Grand Slam finals, 414 00:19:38,626 --> 00:19:41,706 Speaker 2: Sampress always had Agacy's name. I think acacidently beat Sampress once. 415 00:19:42,266 --> 00:19:45,906 Speaker 2: But when you talk about two different contrasting styles, Agassy. 416 00:19:45,826 --> 00:19:49,146 Speaker 3: Flash, long hair, the camera. 417 00:19:49,066 --> 00:19:52,866 Speaker 2: The nikes, Sampress a robot right out there, go in 418 00:19:52,866 --> 00:19:55,706 Speaker 2: there and take care of business. Two very different styles, 419 00:19:56,266 --> 00:19:58,946 Speaker 2: and they actually ended up being two great friends. I'm 420 00:19:58,946 --> 00:20:01,746 Speaker 2: gonna say Agassy Sampris for me one of my favorite rivalries. 421 00:20:01,826 --> 00:20:05,466 Speaker 2: Different styles, different dudess and yet Agassy was so fair. 422 00:20:13,186 --> 00:20:15,906 Speaker 1: The season with Peter Schrager is a production of the 423 00:20:16,026 --> 00:20:20,026 Speaker 1: NFL and partnership with iHeartRadio.
