00:00:08,933 --> 00:00:21,532
Speaker 1: a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast. WelCom Week

00:00:21,573 --> 00:00:25,453
Speaker 1: four of the NFL Cover Zero podcast. I'm Matt Jones

4
00:00:25,532 --> 00:00:28,853
Speaker 1: and Drew Franklin is with me. I am in Kruger

5
00:00:29,173 --> 00:00:33,653
Speaker 1: National Park, and I am in a tent, like a

6
00:00:33,773 --> 00:00:37,013
Speaker 1: nice tint, but still a tent in the middle of

7
00:00:37,133 --> 00:00:41,933
Speaker 1: the African National Park South African National Park. Bush. Drew

8
00:00:42,013 --> 00:00:46,173
Speaker 1: is in studio in Lexington, a more normal space. Drew,

9
00:00:46,293 --> 00:00:49,773
Speaker 1: I'm being a little bit quieter than I usually would

10
00:00:49,813 --> 00:00:52,693
Speaker 1: be because there are tints on each side of me,

11
00:00:52,893 --> 00:00:57,093
Speaker 1: and it is midnight here. I can literally hear hyenas

12
00:00:57,253 --> 00:01:00,013
Speaker 1: in the background, and just a little while earlier today

13
00:01:00,053 --> 00:01:02,533
Speaker 1: I saw a lion. So it's a little bit like

14
00:01:02,693 --> 00:01:06,533
Speaker 1: most podcasts. Probably going on to talk to the NFL today, Well,

15
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:07,173
Speaker 1: should be worried.

16
00:01:07,253 --> 00:01:09,452
Speaker 2: Are you being quiet to not wake your fellow man

17
00:01:09,572 --> 00:01:11,732
Speaker 2: or to not wake the animals that could disturb you

18
00:01:11,732 --> 00:01:12,613
Speaker 2: at any moment there?

19
00:01:13,613 --> 00:01:16,093
Speaker 1: Well, there's an electric fence around here, so I think

20
00:01:16,173 --> 00:01:21,812
Speaker 1: I'm okay around around the animals, but there are people

21
00:01:21,932 --> 00:01:25,733
Speaker 1: literally in the tents not very far away, and they

22
00:01:25,773 --> 00:01:28,133
Speaker 1: are trying to sleep because they have a five am

23
00:01:29,092 --> 00:01:32,773
Speaker 1: wake up call for a safari journey. I'm skipping that

24
00:01:32,813 --> 00:01:35,613
Speaker 1: one tomorrow. We did eleven hours of Safari. Drew and

25
00:01:35,652 --> 00:01:37,293
Speaker 1: I enjoy Safari.

26
00:01:37,012 --> 00:01:39,373
Speaker 3: But eleven hours I think I saw the animals I

27
00:01:39,372 --> 00:01:40,212
Speaker 3: needed to see.

28
00:01:40,613 --> 00:01:43,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate you still having the gas to do

29
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:45,452
Speaker 2: this podcast from the other side of the world. I

30
00:01:45,452 --> 00:01:47,493
Speaker 2: hope you're still picking up lots of listeners for us.

31
00:01:47,533 --> 00:01:49,133
Speaker 2: Last time we talked to you were just going around

32
00:01:49,133 --> 00:01:50,413
Speaker 2: making people subscribe.

33
00:01:50,893 --> 00:01:53,493
Speaker 3: Have we had anyone from VAM from Mcruger Park.

34
00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,693
Speaker 1: I told a hippo today that if it did not

35
00:01:56,853 --> 00:02:00,133
Speaker 1: click the link subscribe and rate and review, I was

36
00:02:00,133 --> 00:02:02,253
Speaker 1: going to be very upset. But I will tell you

37
00:02:02,933 --> 00:02:06,373
Speaker 1: first of all, I highly recommend, I highly recommen end

38
00:02:06,773 --> 00:02:08,053
Speaker 1: coming to a safari if you.

39
00:02:07,973 --> 00:02:09,773
Speaker 3: Ever get a chance. It really is awesome.

40
00:02:09,853 --> 00:02:14,773
Speaker 1: I meant, I meant the Medouley Safari Lodge, which is

41
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,733
Speaker 1: which is part of Kruger National Park, really really nice.

42
00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:21,053
Speaker 1: So we get up at five am this morning, we

43
00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:24,453
Speaker 1: go and they they drive us around the bush and

44
00:02:24,733 --> 00:02:27,093
Speaker 1: I dressed in a safari hat.

45
00:02:27,373 --> 00:02:29,053
Speaker 3: Drew, I had a safari hat.

46
00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:31,853
Speaker 1: I dressed like I think you should go to a

47
00:02:31,893 --> 00:02:35,813
Speaker 1: safari like a linen shirt and like, uh, you know,

48
00:02:36,093 --> 00:02:38,893
Speaker 1: khaki pants with the pockets and all that. I really

49
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:41,933
Speaker 1: felt like I was in Safari mode and you'd have

50
00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:42,533
Speaker 1: been proud of me.

51
00:02:42,573 --> 00:02:44,493
Speaker 3: I really thought, you know, I was. I was out

52
00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:45,253
Speaker 3: there with nature.

53
00:02:46,173 --> 00:02:49,493
Speaker 2: I'm picturing like doctor Alan Grant from Jurassic Park walking around.

54
00:02:49,533 --> 00:02:52,613
Speaker 1: Did you just know he was? He was exactly? I

55
00:02:56,813 --> 00:02:58,773
Speaker 1: was like, I want to be like him. Was that

56
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,813
Speaker 1: that was Jeff Goldbloom right in that? In that fake Alan?

57
00:03:02,053 --> 00:03:04,133
Speaker 2: That was the was the other guy, But any of

58
00:03:04,213 --> 00:03:05,773
Speaker 2: them really is what I picture you doing out there,

59
00:03:05,773 --> 00:03:08,773
Speaker 2: even like you just got a Jurassic Park Halloween costume.

60
00:03:09,093 --> 00:03:11,573
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I did. And here's the thing about

61
00:03:11,573 --> 00:03:12,733
Speaker 3: when you go and see animals.

62
00:03:12,773 --> 00:03:15,933
Speaker 1: So today I saw I saw a lion, I saw

63
00:03:15,973 --> 00:03:19,533
Speaker 1: a hippo, I saw a rhino. I saw multiple giraffes,

64
00:03:19,733 --> 00:03:23,533
Speaker 1: multiple zebras, or as they call them here, zebras. I

65
00:03:23,573 --> 00:03:27,573
Speaker 1: saw two elephants fight each other, which was kind of awesome.

66
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,373
Speaker 1: But I don't have a phone, so I didn't get

67
00:03:31,373 --> 00:03:33,453
Speaker 1: to take any pictures of this, so there's no proof

68
00:03:33,453 --> 00:03:36,533
Speaker 1: that I saw any of these things. But it's interesting

69
00:03:36,533 --> 00:03:38,933
Speaker 1: because got when we got out at like four or

70
00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:41,933
Speaker 1: five six am. The first time we saw a zebra

71
00:03:42,053 --> 00:03:42,493
Speaker 1: drew everybody.

72
00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:47,853
Speaker 3: He was like, ooh, look at the zebra. Oh yeah.

73
00:03:48,093 --> 00:03:50,453
Speaker 1: And then you see an elephant and like we stay

74
00:03:50,493 --> 00:03:53,333
Speaker 1: there for ten minutes and we're like just in all

75
00:03:53,453 --> 00:03:57,613
Speaker 1: of its magnificent beauty. And then you see a giraffe

76
00:03:57,653 --> 00:04:01,133
Speaker 1: and you just go, oh my goodness. And then after

77
00:04:01,253 --> 00:04:04,973
Speaker 1: like seven or eight hours, you're flying by elephants like

78
00:04:05,133 --> 00:04:07,213
Speaker 1: singing show to and you're like, all right, I've had it.

79
00:04:07,253 --> 00:04:07,653
Speaker 3: That's good.

80
00:04:07,693 --> 00:04:11,053
Speaker 1: I've seen I got have seen plenty of these you quickly,

81
00:04:11,133 --> 00:04:13,893
Speaker 1: it starts to become commonplace after a little while.

82
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:17,533
Speaker 2: How close to these animals are we getting here? It's

83
00:04:17,613 --> 00:04:19,813
Speaker 2: not a sue where there's a wall, so you're just

84
00:04:19,892 --> 00:04:21,253
Speaker 2: up autumn you amongst them, as you.

85
00:04:21,213 --> 00:04:25,533
Speaker 1: Have to say, I mean, what is unbelievable coming out

86
00:04:25,532 --> 00:04:28,013
Speaker 1: here is that they're right next to you, like you're

87
00:04:28,053 --> 00:04:32,573
Speaker 1: in a vehicle. But like so they tell you please

88
00:04:32,652 --> 00:04:36,492
Speaker 1: don't yell at the animals, right, please don't, like you know,

89
00:04:36,532 --> 00:04:41,652
Speaker 1: because they're animals and there there's nothing stopping them from

90
00:04:42,053 --> 00:04:45,293
Speaker 1: i don't know, drew eating you if if they want to.

91
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:48,813
Speaker 1: So they tell you like, don't yell at them, they

92
00:04:48,853 --> 00:04:51,212
Speaker 1: will leave you alone. But if they feel threatened, you

93
00:04:51,293 --> 00:04:54,092
Speaker 1: never know. And I'm in a car full of if

94
00:04:54,092 --> 00:04:55,772
Speaker 1: you remember I told you, I'm on the safari with

95
00:04:55,813 --> 00:04:59,372
Speaker 1: eight women, and they are eight very sweet women.

96
00:05:00,332 --> 00:05:02,013
Speaker 3: But Drew, they get very.

97
00:05:01,813 --> 00:05:06,612
Speaker 1: Excited when they see animals and sometimes they just screamed

98
00:05:06,652 --> 00:05:10,373
Speaker 1: them out. And the first elephant we saw, they were

99
00:05:10,412 --> 00:05:13,452
Speaker 1: like all of that. And then and the elephant just

100
00:05:13,493 --> 00:05:15,733
Speaker 1: all of a sudden turns around and is staring right

101
00:05:15,813 --> 00:05:17,452
Speaker 1: at me, like, are you gonna do something about this?

102
00:05:17,573 --> 00:05:20,173
Speaker 1: Or am I gonna have to get involved? And I

103
00:05:20,412 --> 00:05:23,253
Speaker 1: was like a school teacher. I was like, shut up,

104
00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:27,452
Speaker 1: because you know, you get a sense of your spot

105
00:05:27,573 --> 00:05:30,092
Speaker 1: in nature with how big these things are.

106
00:05:30,652 --> 00:05:33,013
Speaker 2: And we can't lose half of the NFL Cover zero

107
00:05:33,053 --> 00:05:37,052
Speaker 2: podcast because your companions on the trip or screaming and

108
00:05:37,053 --> 00:05:39,653
Speaker 2: getting loud, have a lion ripping your face off or

109
00:05:39,652 --> 00:05:40,373
Speaker 2: anything like that.

110
00:05:41,733 --> 00:05:44,612
Speaker 1: And I learned from our guide it was wonderful, like

111
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:47,292
Speaker 1: I got to know why they did the various things

112
00:05:47,293 --> 00:05:47,452
Speaker 1: we do.

113
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:50,972
Speaker 3: We saw a lion. We also saw a deadline with

114
00:05:51,092 --> 00:05:54,493
Speaker 3: vultures eating it, which is not a pretty picture. Like

115
00:05:55,212 --> 00:05:58,052
Speaker 3: Drew that's not what they show you in the brochure

116
00:05:58,133 --> 00:06:00,733
Speaker 3: or when you come, but it is. I guess it's

117
00:06:00,813 --> 00:06:04,292
Speaker 3: part of nature's, you know, the circle of life.

118
00:06:04,053 --> 00:06:07,813
Speaker 2: Right definitely, and I can I don't know every NFL podcast,

119
00:06:07,853 --> 00:06:10,532
Speaker 2: but I challenge you to show me one that has

120
00:06:10,892 --> 00:06:14,093
Speaker 2: that is dealing with this during week four of the seasons.

121
00:06:14,212 --> 00:06:16,693
Speaker 1: It is interesting, though, it is interesting. The thing that

122
00:06:16,813 --> 00:06:20,212
Speaker 1: people here tell you to avoid the most. You know,

123
00:06:20,253 --> 00:06:23,972
Speaker 1: what they're the most scared of is the hippo. They're like,

124
00:06:24,412 --> 00:06:26,813
Speaker 1: when we got next to the hippo, they were like,

125
00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:31,892
Speaker 1: shut up, okay, because that hippo. You know, you see

126
00:06:31,933 --> 00:06:34,772
Speaker 1: you when you're from America, you see hungry, hungry hippos.

127
00:06:34,772 --> 00:06:37,412
Speaker 1: You think, well, that's a happy animal. Apparently it's like

128
00:06:37,493 --> 00:06:40,533
Speaker 1: the dead List. It will kill you. It will kill

129
00:06:40,573 --> 00:06:43,173
Speaker 1: you for even saying a cross word about it. And

130
00:06:43,412 --> 00:06:45,013
Speaker 1: so I was kind of nervous when we went to

131
00:06:45,053 --> 00:06:45,852
Speaker 1: the hippo station.

132
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:48,452
Speaker 2: I've heard that even though they look like they just

133
00:06:48,493 --> 00:06:51,452
Speaker 2: be fat swabs, they're lightning fast and we'll use that

134
00:06:51,532 --> 00:06:53,092
Speaker 2: jaw art if you need to.

135
00:06:53,092 --> 00:06:56,252
Speaker 3: If they need to, yeah, yeah, they'll like they'll open

136
00:06:56,293 --> 00:06:58,933
Speaker 3: their mouth and be like that's what they do. That's

137
00:06:58,933 --> 00:07:02,253
Speaker 3: the sound they make. And so so anyway, it's been

138
00:07:02,373 --> 00:07:04,372
Speaker 3: it's been awesome. I'm really tired.

139
00:07:04,412 --> 00:07:09,732
Speaker 1: I've been here now fifteen days in South Africa, but

140
00:07:09,813 --> 00:07:12,612
Speaker 1: it's been awesome. This is the people here are great

141
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,773
Speaker 1: and it's been great. And hopefully Drew, one day you

142
00:07:14,813 --> 00:07:16,612
Speaker 1: will get to come to this as well.

143
00:07:16,933 --> 00:07:19,773
Speaker 2: Maybe this will just be a tradition for the NFL

144
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,292
Speaker 2: Cover zero. We'll just start each each season and some

145
00:07:22,373 --> 00:07:23,893
Speaker 2: other part of the world as far away from the

146
00:07:24,013 --> 00:07:24,933
Speaker 2: NFL as possible.

147
00:07:26,013 --> 00:07:30,093
Speaker 3: I have some breaking news. For the first time in

148
00:07:31,093 --> 00:07:35,893
Speaker 3: for only the second time since twenty thirteen, my Cincinnati

149
00:07:35,933 --> 00:07:37,213
Speaker 3: Reds have made the playoffs.

150
00:07:37,373 --> 00:07:39,573
Speaker 2: Congratulations, I just saw the news pop up.

151
00:07:39,573 --> 00:07:43,093
Speaker 1: All right, I'm sorry that just happened because we're taping this,

152
00:07:44,093 --> 00:07:46,293
Speaker 1: you know, a little earlier in the day today. That

153
00:07:46,573 --> 00:07:49,852
Speaker 1: just happened. You have to give me a minute. NFL world,

154
00:07:50,253 --> 00:07:51,493
Speaker 1: the Reds made the playoffs.

155
00:07:51,533 --> 00:07:54,413
Speaker 3: They did it by losing, but nevertheless they made it

156
00:07:54,693 --> 00:07:57,013
Speaker 3: because the Mets lost to the Marlins, and the Reds,

157
00:07:57,253 --> 00:08:00,893
Speaker 3: who had like one fourth the payroll of the Mets,

158
00:08:01,093 --> 00:08:02,413
Speaker 3: are in the playoffs this year.

159
00:08:02,533 --> 00:08:04,893
Speaker 2: True, Franklin, I'm happy for you and the many Reds

160
00:08:04,933 --> 00:08:07,613
Speaker 2: fans that are probably listening to this, I just have

161
00:08:07,693 --> 00:08:09,893
Speaker 2: to wonder to have you all learned a lesson about

162
00:08:09,893 --> 00:08:13,453
Speaker 2: giving up? Because I remember that West Coast swing when

163
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:15,373
Speaker 2: was just you. It seemed to be the whole fan

164
00:08:15,413 --> 00:08:17,093
Speaker 2: base thought it's over watch.

165
00:08:17,573 --> 00:08:19,813
Speaker 3: They got swept by the A's, Like, how could you

166
00:08:19,893 --> 00:08:20,573
Speaker 3: not give up?

167
00:08:21,253 --> 00:08:23,093
Speaker 2: But this should be a lesson. It's never over.

168
00:08:24,613 --> 00:08:27,693
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's never well, so I'm very very happy about that.

169
00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:30,213
Speaker 1: Of course, they wait till I'm here and can't see

170
00:08:30,253 --> 00:08:32,733
Speaker 1: any of the games. But nevertheless, when this is over,

171
00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:35,493
Speaker 1: I will watch the highlights. Now, there was plenty of

172
00:08:35,653 --> 00:08:38,613
Speaker 1: NFL action going everywhere. Now, I actually got to watch

173
00:08:39,173 --> 00:08:42,733
Speaker 1: all of the one o'clock games, so I watched NFL

174
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:46,373
Speaker 1: Red Zone, caught all of them. I caught the end

175
00:08:46,653 --> 00:08:49,093
Speaker 1: of the nine to thirty game. But Billy is in

176
00:08:49,213 --> 00:08:53,133
Speaker 1: charge here of the nine to thirty and four o'clock games.

177
00:08:53,173 --> 00:08:55,453
Speaker 1: We will not be able to do Packers Cowboys because

178
00:08:55,453 --> 00:08:58,653
Speaker 1: it will be four in the morning here. Billy, you

179
00:08:59,733 --> 00:09:01,773
Speaker 1: saw all of the Packers of excuse me have the

180
00:09:01,773 --> 00:09:05,533
Speaker 1: Steelers Vikings game in Dublin. There's a lot of great

181
00:09:05,573 --> 00:09:08,053
Speaker 1: storylines for this, but give me a quick summary of

182
00:09:08,093 --> 00:09:10,853
Speaker 1: the things from the actual game that was the most important.

183
00:09:11,173 --> 00:09:14,413
Speaker 4: Yeah, from the actual game, the first NFL game in Dublin.

184
00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:17,253
Speaker 4: The Steelers won twenty four to twenty one. Pittsburgh is

185
00:09:17,253 --> 00:09:19,533
Speaker 4: now three to one on the season, and it was

186
00:09:19,653 --> 00:09:21,573
Speaker 4: thanks to their defense. They were dominant for most of

187
00:09:21,613 --> 00:09:24,893
Speaker 4: the game. Six sacks, two interceptions won by TJ Watt.

188
00:09:25,293 --> 00:09:28,253
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers had an eighty yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf,

189
00:09:28,253 --> 00:09:30,893
Speaker 4: which is the longest touchdown pass in the NFL this season.

190
00:09:31,453 --> 00:09:33,813
Speaker 4: Kenneth Gainwell played really well with Jalen Warren out. He

191
00:09:33,853 --> 00:09:34,773
Speaker 4: had ninety nine yards in.

192
00:09:34,893 --> 00:09:36,653
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like Drew by the way a football

193
00:09:36,653 --> 00:09:40,533
Speaker 1: player's name, Kenneth Gainwell. I feel like Kenneth Kanewell works

194
00:09:40,573 --> 00:09:42,973
Speaker 1: down the street at accounting firm.

195
00:09:43,013 --> 00:09:45,093
Speaker 3: But he was great today.

196
00:09:45,173 --> 00:09:47,893
Speaker 2: He gained well today. He had two touchdowns. Like though

197
00:09:47,893 --> 00:09:49,693
Speaker 2: he said big defense was a big part of it.

198
00:09:49,773 --> 00:09:52,973
Speaker 2: But Warren not playing was quite a surprise and not

199
00:09:53,053 --> 00:09:55,133
Speaker 2: much of a drop off there. Backing up Aaron Rodgers

200
00:09:55,173 --> 00:09:55,813
Speaker 2: in the backfield.

201
00:09:56,253 --> 00:09:58,653
Speaker 4: Yeah, the game goes from twenty four to six to

202
00:09:58,693 --> 00:10:00,653
Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty one in the fourth quarter and

203
00:10:00,773 --> 00:10:02,733
Speaker 4: the Vikings can't get an on side kick and eventually

204
00:10:02,853 --> 00:10:04,373
Speaker 4: run out of time for the Steelers to win.

205
00:10:04,973 --> 00:10:08,533
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carson Wentz, I think had thirteen comeback wins in

206
00:10:08,573 --> 00:10:10,173
Speaker 1: his career, was not able to get this one.

207
00:10:10,533 --> 00:10:11,573
Speaker 3: So the game was fine.

208
00:10:11,613 --> 00:10:14,053
Speaker 1: But to me, Drew, what was interesting about this game

209
00:10:14,093 --> 00:10:17,613
Speaker 1: where all the things that happened around it. Okay, so

210
00:10:17,693 --> 00:10:22,293
Speaker 1: let's start with last night before the game. The backup

211
00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:27,173
Speaker 1: quarterback Skyler Thompson is that, right, Skyler Thompson gets robbed

212
00:10:27,773 --> 00:10:29,373
Speaker 1: on the streets of Dublin.

213
00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:31,053
Speaker 3: He gets robbed.

214
00:10:31,453 --> 00:10:35,133
Speaker 1: I didn't see details about what they took, but I've

215
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:37,773
Speaker 1: been to Dublin. It's actually one of the most friendly,

216
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:39,693
Speaker 1: fun places to walk around.

217
00:10:40,013 --> 00:10:42,373
Speaker 3: How did he get robbed? And what has to be

218
00:10:42,493 --> 00:10:45,893
Speaker 3: like a tourist part of town, right, Yeah, I need

219
00:10:45,893 --> 00:10:47,213
Speaker 3: to know more details on this.

220
00:10:47,333 --> 00:10:51,213
Speaker 2: It's not out completely, but he got assaulted and robbed,

221
00:10:51,413 --> 00:10:53,493
Speaker 2: you know, night before a game. How late could you

222
00:10:53,533 --> 00:10:56,653
Speaker 2: possibly be out night before the game. I've been around

223
00:10:56,693 --> 00:10:58,933
Speaker 2: there too. He got like the Temple Bar, there's that

224
00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:01,693
Speaker 2: nice little area. I never felt like I wasn't safe there.

225
00:11:01,693 --> 00:11:04,013
Speaker 2: If anything, I just wanted to dance and listen to music.

226
00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:08,933
Speaker 2: So pretty extreme fortune, fortunate situation that a guy who

227
00:11:08,933 --> 00:11:10,533
Speaker 2: maybe should have been out and you ended up getting

228
00:11:10,573 --> 00:11:12,493
Speaker 2: mugged and robbed. Luckily he was hurt or he was

229
00:11:12,533 --> 00:11:14,133
Speaker 2: okay and still ended up showing up for the game

230
00:11:14,133 --> 00:11:15,773
Speaker 2: and was on the sideline. But a crazy way to

231
00:11:15,773 --> 00:11:19,133
Speaker 2: go go play a game in Ireland for him, Yeah,

232
00:11:19,173 --> 00:11:19,653
Speaker 2: I mean.

233
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:21,893
Speaker 3: Just wild that you go get robbed. Have you have

234
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:25,173
Speaker 3: you ever heard of a player being part of a

235
00:11:25,413 --> 00:11:28,453
Speaker 3: felony the night before the game and not committing it,

236
00:11:28,533 --> 00:11:31,373
Speaker 3: like having a commitsioned on just a victim the night

237
00:11:31,453 --> 00:11:34,013
Speaker 3: before the game. Yeah, and I mean I guess.

238
00:11:33,773 --> 00:11:36,693
Speaker 2: He probably wasn't wearing like his full pads and outfit

239
00:11:36,733 --> 00:11:39,133
Speaker 2: where they knew he was an NFL player. But you know,

240
00:11:39,213 --> 00:11:41,293
Speaker 2: Ireland's got to be excited about this game, and you

241
00:11:41,293 --> 00:11:43,813
Speaker 2: gotta think, hey, we can't be aut punching, even if

242
00:11:43,813 --> 00:11:45,773
Speaker 2: it is the backup quarterback of all the people for

243
00:11:45,853 --> 00:11:47,133
Speaker 2: us to be rough and up, we got to be

244
00:11:47,173 --> 00:11:48,173
Speaker 2: good host of the NFL.

245
00:11:49,133 --> 00:11:51,613
Speaker 1: But you act like they have any idea who Skyler

246
00:11:51,693 --> 00:11:55,493
Speaker 1: Thompson is. I mean, would you recognize Skylar TOMPs tonight?

247
00:11:55,853 --> 00:11:57,653
Speaker 2: I don't think he had his helmet and pads on.

248
00:11:57,853 --> 00:11:59,533
Speaker 2: But you know, if all people for them to hit

249
00:11:59,573 --> 00:12:00,933
Speaker 2: you gotta roll out the red car.

250
00:12:01,093 --> 00:12:03,973
Speaker 1: You would not recognize Scott Skyler Thompson could walk into

251
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:05,933
Speaker 1: that studio right now, you would not know.

252
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:08,213
Speaker 2: Who No, no clue at all, not even a little bit.

253
00:12:08,253 --> 00:12:11,773
Speaker 2: He could actually walk in wearing a Skylar Thompson jersey,

254
00:12:11,853 --> 00:12:13,093
Speaker 2: and I would not even know who he is.

255
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:16,813
Speaker 3: I know Skyler from Breaking Bad more than I know

256
00:12:16,893 --> 00:12:18,013
Speaker 3: Skyler Thompson. I know.

257
00:12:20,413 --> 00:12:23,773
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would not have. It would not have occurred

258
00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:25,573
Speaker 1: to me to keep him from robbery. Now, the game

259
00:12:25,613 --> 00:12:31,293
Speaker 1: itself went great, seventy thousand people there. Apparently the turf

260
00:12:31,413 --> 00:12:33,653
Speaker 1: was in really great shape, which is always an issue

261
00:12:34,293 --> 00:12:38,333
Speaker 1: in these road games. The Steelers are Mike Tomlin apparently

262
00:12:38,373 --> 00:12:41,413
Speaker 1: gave a speech before the game where he said something

263
00:12:41,453 --> 00:12:43,893
Speaker 1: to the effect of, you know, our former owner Art

264
00:12:44,013 --> 00:12:46,213
Speaker 1: Rooney was from here.

265
00:12:46,413 --> 00:12:47,813
Speaker 3: He was an ambassador to hear.

266
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,693
Speaker 1: I think for Barack Obama, we need to like really

267
00:12:50,733 --> 00:12:52,773
Speaker 1: honor him, and they did it by winning. The Steelers

268
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:56,133
Speaker 1: are kind of trying to claim Ireland as their country.

269
00:12:56,333 --> 00:12:58,373
Speaker 1: They want to be the team of Ireland. Do you

270
00:12:58,413 --> 00:13:01,533
Speaker 1: think do you think that's doable for the Steelers.

271
00:13:01,693 --> 00:13:04,493
Speaker 2: No, Pittsburgh, you can't just claim Ireland because there's a

272
00:13:04,573 --> 00:13:07,653
Speaker 2: Rooney connection. I like the effort. It's a good try there.

273
00:13:07,733 --> 00:13:10,613
Speaker 2: But I learned during the broadcast that the Steelers and

274
00:13:10,693 --> 00:13:13,613
Speaker 2: Vikings weren't the only teams with fans there because at

275
00:13:13,613 --> 00:13:15,853
Speaker 2: one point they said, and I even had to go

276
00:13:15,893 --> 00:13:17,533
Speaker 2: back and listen to make sure I heard this right

277
00:13:17,853 --> 00:13:20,013
Speaker 2: in a crowd of what like sixty seventy thousand of

278
00:13:20,053 --> 00:13:23,973
Speaker 2: the stadium, they said, we've counted twenty two NFL jerseys

279
00:13:23,973 --> 00:13:26,973
Speaker 2: from different teams. And I thought, who is sitting around

280
00:13:27,253 --> 00:13:31,533
Speaker 2: counting the Bears jerseys and the Lions jerseys? But they said,

281
00:13:31,573 --> 00:13:35,813
Speaker 2: we've seen twenty two different NFL jerseys today.

282
00:13:35,813 --> 00:13:38,973
Speaker 1: So they said we you think they just walked around

283
00:13:39,413 --> 00:13:44,453
Speaker 1: And they were like, okay, there is I like, there's

284
00:13:44,493 --> 00:13:46,573
Speaker 1: a cold charge of finding all the jerseys and they

285
00:13:46,573 --> 00:13:48,013
Speaker 1: had to go to all seventy thousand.

286
00:13:48,333 --> 00:13:49,693
Speaker 3: Is there an intern that does that?

287
00:13:49,773 --> 00:13:51,293
Speaker 2: Like, Hey, you're just gonna sit at the gates and

288
00:13:51,333 --> 00:13:53,533
Speaker 2: every time you see a new NFL jersey, we want

289
00:13:53,533 --> 00:13:53,973
Speaker 2: you to count.

290
00:13:54,093 --> 00:13:55,773
Speaker 3: I do like though, when they go to these foreign

291
00:13:55,813 --> 00:13:58,933
Speaker 3: countries that people just wear the jerseys of the teams

292
00:13:59,013 --> 00:14:02,373
Speaker 3: that they like or have seen in the States. It's

293
00:14:02,533 --> 00:14:03,653
Speaker 3: like people who just.

294
00:14:03,573 --> 00:14:06,773
Speaker 1: Say who go to games and just say go sport, right,

295
00:14:07,053 --> 00:14:10,213
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter who's playing. I will just root

296
00:14:10,493 --> 00:14:12,653
Speaker 1: on the concept of football.

297
00:14:13,013 --> 00:14:15,093
Speaker 2: I have a good friend from Scotland, like born and

298
00:14:15,173 --> 00:14:18,653
Speaker 2: raised Scotland, but he loves the Cincinnati Bengals, like grew

299
00:14:18,773 --> 00:14:21,693
Speaker 2: up loving the Bengals in Scotland. And I asked him

300
00:14:21,733 --> 00:14:23,853
Speaker 2: why he's even come to Cincinnati for games. He's like,

301
00:14:23,973 --> 00:14:25,893
Speaker 2: I just like Tigers. So I mean, I'm sure there

302
00:14:25,893 --> 00:14:28,653
Speaker 2: are people all over the world that have picked a

303
00:14:28,653 --> 00:14:31,853
Speaker 2: team based on a logo or a color, or maybe

304
00:14:31,933 --> 00:14:34,253
Speaker 2: they fill a connection to the city. So then if

305
00:14:34,293 --> 00:14:36,693
Speaker 2: these games come to Dublin or London or wherever and

306
00:14:36,693 --> 00:14:39,253
Speaker 2: they're even remotely close, you got you gotta break out

307
00:14:39,293 --> 00:14:41,373
Speaker 2: whatever whatever team it is, even if they're not there.

308
00:14:43,213 --> 00:14:44,493
Speaker 3: Okay, so two thoughts here.

309
00:14:44,533 --> 00:14:47,333
Speaker 1: First of all, what would be the weirdest team name

310
00:14:47,453 --> 00:14:49,813
Speaker 1: to pick just because you like what it is? Would

311
00:14:49,813 --> 00:14:52,213
Speaker 1: it be like the Giants, I just like really tall

312
00:14:52,253 --> 00:14:53,813
Speaker 1: people would have the one.

313
00:14:53,853 --> 00:14:56,453
Speaker 3: What would be the one that would be the strangest

314
00:14:56,453 --> 00:14:58,213
Speaker 3: to say, Well, I just like that.

315
00:14:59,293 --> 00:15:04,853
Speaker 5: Uh Brown's and Brown's Yeah, I like Brown's, like the

316
00:15:04,893 --> 00:15:09,373
Speaker 5: color brown, that's my I just like the color I

317
00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:11,693
Speaker 5: love Cleveland and the color brown.

318
00:15:12,973 --> 00:15:14,733
Speaker 3: That that would be that would be really strange.

319
00:15:14,773 --> 00:15:17,333
Speaker 1: And then okay, so I had this thought today riding

320
00:15:17,373 --> 00:15:20,933
Speaker 1: around the bush. By the way, that's a phrase I'd

321
00:15:20,973 --> 00:15:24,333
Speaker 1: never used, Drew until I got here. The bush like

322
00:15:24,413 --> 00:15:26,653
Speaker 1: people just use that. That's like if you ever thought

323
00:15:26,653 --> 00:15:28,653
Speaker 1: about going out'm riding around like you're seeing a high

324
00:15:28,653 --> 00:15:31,093
Speaker 1: grass and go it's in the bush. But like now

325
00:15:31,133 --> 00:15:32,333
Speaker 1: I use it all the time, and I think you

326
00:15:32,373 --> 00:15:34,213
Speaker 1: gotta be careful when I come back to America just

327
00:15:34,253 --> 00:15:35,213
Speaker 1: throwing that around.

328
00:15:36,293 --> 00:15:38,973
Speaker 3: But people just use it like it's regular.

329
00:15:39,093 --> 00:15:40,893
Speaker 2: Every time you've said it. I thought he's turned into

330
00:15:40,893 --> 00:15:42,853
Speaker 2: a local there. It sounds like we might he might

331
00:15:42,893 --> 00:15:45,813
Speaker 2: even come back. He's gotten so used I'm start calling him.

332
00:15:45,853 --> 00:15:48,773
Speaker 1: If I start saying zebra, then you know I've you've gone.

333
00:15:48,893 --> 00:15:50,693
Speaker 1: But I was sitting there thinking, I was like, Okay,

334
00:15:50,853 --> 00:15:53,773
Speaker 1: if I were to start a new team, what is

335
00:15:53,813 --> 00:15:57,733
Speaker 1: the one animal that like, there isn't a team name

336
00:15:57,773 --> 00:16:00,693
Speaker 1: that I can think of. And we the only one

337
00:16:00,733 --> 00:16:03,373
Speaker 1: of the big five we didn't spot was a leopard,

338
00:16:03,533 --> 00:16:07,293
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, there are no teams that

339
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:07,893
Speaker 1: are leopards.

340
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:11,013
Speaker 3: And I was like, but that would sound stupid the Leopards.

341
00:16:12,053 --> 00:16:14,853
Speaker 3: But then no, it wouldn't because you know, like Ravens

342
00:16:15,173 --> 00:16:18,093
Speaker 3: is a stupid name, but we say it like it's normal.

343
00:16:18,293 --> 00:16:20,373
Speaker 3: I think if I started a team that was the Leopards,

344
00:16:20,373 --> 00:16:23,933
Speaker 3: eventually people would just say Leopards like we do Jaguars. Right.

345
00:16:24,093 --> 00:16:26,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure at some point somebody in South Florida

346
00:16:26,893 --> 00:16:29,013
Speaker 2: was like, we could be Dolphins, and they're like, no,

347
00:16:29,093 --> 00:16:31,333
Speaker 2: that's not intimidating at all. But you know what, we've

348
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:34,813
Speaker 2: got dolphins, rams to be Buccaneers.

349
00:16:35,053 --> 00:16:36,013
Speaker 3: We can be potted.

350
00:16:37,453 --> 00:16:39,733
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just if you just say it long enough,

351
00:16:40,413 --> 00:16:42,173
Speaker 1: then people will sign on to it.

352
00:16:42,413 --> 00:16:46,213
Speaker 3: So if Louisville, Kentucky ever gets a professional sports team

353
00:16:46,573 --> 00:16:50,573
Speaker 3: drew the Louisville Leopards, why not we get leopard print

354
00:16:50,573 --> 00:16:52,933
Speaker 3: out for this? Would be great? No, I mean not

355
00:16:53,133 --> 00:16:54,453
Speaker 3: Leoper like lepro c.

356
00:16:55,173 --> 00:17:00,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm aware, just to Cleo.

357
00:16:58,533 --> 00:17:00,373
Speaker 3: That would not be a name you would want to go.

358
00:17:00,533 --> 00:17:02,133
Speaker 3: I would want to go cheer for them. That would

359
00:17:02,173 --> 00:17:02,533
Speaker 3: be weird.

360
00:17:04,373 --> 00:17:09,173
Speaker 1: Well, the Steelers get the win three and one, but

361
00:17:09,253 --> 00:17:11,493
Speaker 1: we do have to talk about Aaron Rodgers, all right,

362
00:17:11,533 --> 00:17:14,933
Speaker 1: So he won the game, but he gave in my opinion,

363
00:17:15,053 --> 00:17:17,693
Speaker 1: Drew one of the most Aaron.

364
00:17:17,413 --> 00:17:20,453
Speaker 3: Rodgers of Aaron Rodgers quotes of all time. Are you

365
00:17:20,493 --> 00:17:20,973
Speaker 3: ready for it?

366
00:17:21,653 --> 00:17:25,213
Speaker 1: He was talking about he wished the Steelers had come

367
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:29,333
Speaker 1: to the city earlier. Apparently they just showed up on

368
00:17:29,493 --> 00:17:32,213
Speaker 1: Friday for the game on Sunday, and he said he

369
00:17:32,253 --> 00:17:34,013
Speaker 1: wished they could have made a whole week of it

370
00:17:34,333 --> 00:17:36,893
Speaker 1: because he wanted to go around Ireland. And here's what

371
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:40,812
Speaker 1: he said. And this is one of the most pretentious

372
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:44,533
Speaker 1: quotes I've ever heard. I have a family history here

373
00:17:44,533 --> 00:17:46,733
Speaker 1: going back to Ireland Scotland, so I've always wanted to

374
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:50,893
Speaker 1: get over here. As folks may know, I'm a historian,

375
00:17:51,733 --> 00:17:55,413
Speaker 1: so I kind of know the history, both geo politically

376
00:17:55,653 --> 00:17:59,653
Speaker 1: and other things in the area. That's not a BS line,

377
00:17:59,693 --> 00:18:02,292
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, guys, it's the truth. I'm also a

378
00:18:02,373 --> 00:18:05,693
Speaker 1: huge fan of Guinness. I don't really drink beer, but

379
00:18:05,773 --> 00:18:08,533
Speaker 1: if I did, I would drink Guinness. So I've heard

380
00:18:08,573 --> 00:18:11,053
Speaker 1: it tastes different in Ireland, so I really think I

381
00:18:11,093 --> 00:18:11,493
Speaker 1: should have.

382
00:18:11,653 --> 00:18:15,533
Speaker 3: I really wish I'd gotten to spend more time here. Now.

383
00:18:16,293 --> 00:18:21,253
Speaker 1: Two points here. First of all, I'm a historian who

384
00:18:21,413 --> 00:18:24,532
Speaker 1: says that like First of all, a historian is someone

385
00:18:24,573 --> 00:18:29,253
Speaker 1: who I presumably like, is an expert on history. Is

386
00:18:29,293 --> 00:18:32,253
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just anointing himself that he's already said he

387
00:18:32,333 --> 00:18:34,572
Speaker 1: was a scientist and like a vax person?

388
00:18:34,853 --> 00:18:37,333
Speaker 3: Is he also an historian? Uh? No?

389
00:18:37,693 --> 00:18:40,572
Speaker 2: Has anyone ever thought of Aaron Rodgers a historian?

390
00:18:40,613 --> 00:18:47,253
Speaker 6: Great quarterback? Great quarterback would say? What person would say?

391
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:51,052
Speaker 6: I don't drink beer, but I like Guinness? Isn't that

392
00:18:51,093 --> 00:18:53,373
Speaker 6: the most beery of all beers?

393
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:55,733
Speaker 2: I will say the Guinness tastes different over there. I've

394
00:18:55,733 --> 00:18:58,773
Speaker 2: been to the Guinness storehouse. I don't know. I guess

395
00:18:58,773 --> 00:19:01,453
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers doesn't get into booze. But I can understand

396
00:19:01,493 --> 00:19:03,653
Speaker 2: going to Dublin and wanting to have a fresh Guinness.

397
00:19:03,653 --> 00:19:04,733
Speaker 2: That is something you have to do.

398
00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:08,133
Speaker 3: But is that like? Is it? I'm not a beer person,

399
00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:10,453
Speaker 3: but isn't Guinness like the heaviest of beers? If you

400
00:19:10,453 --> 00:19:12,933
Speaker 3: don't like beer, how could you like Guinness?

401
00:19:13,773 --> 00:19:16,893
Speaker 2: It's definitely heavy. The only reason if you were a

402
00:19:16,933 --> 00:19:19,253
Speaker 2: non beer drinker and you wanted Guinness was because you're

403
00:19:19,293 --> 00:19:22,292
Speaker 2: in Dublin. Like, you don't just sit around craving a Guinness.

404
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:24,933
Speaker 2: It's the connection to Ireland and if you want to

405
00:19:24,973 --> 00:19:27,413
Speaker 2: go to one of the main tourist straps there. But no,

406
00:19:27,893 --> 00:19:29,653
Speaker 2: I don't think Guinness is what you're reaching for if

407
00:19:29,653 --> 00:19:31,052
Speaker 2: you're just an occasional beer drinker.

408
00:19:32,093 --> 00:19:34,573
Speaker 3: Well, Aaron Rodgers is three and one, and I would

409
00:19:34,613 --> 00:19:37,453
Speaker 3: like to congratulate him on not only having a winning record,

410
00:19:37,453 --> 00:19:41,253
Speaker 3: but also being in his story and which.

411
00:19:40,333 --> 00:19:43,933
Speaker 1: Was not something I was aware of until today. Now,

412
00:19:43,973 --> 00:19:45,893
Speaker 1: let's go through some of the one o'clock games you had.

413
00:19:45,933 --> 00:19:47,933
Speaker 3: The Eagles win and probably the biggest game at one

414
00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:50,493
Speaker 3: o'clock over the Bucks. Both teams are three and ozero.

415
00:19:50,613 --> 00:19:53,532
Speaker 1: Eagles got out big early, including a block punt that

416
00:19:53,613 --> 00:19:56,973
Speaker 1: they returned for a touchdown. Second straight game they've blocked

417
00:19:57,413 --> 00:19:59,453
Speaker 1: a kick of some sort and return for a touchdown.

418
00:19:59,653 --> 00:20:02,733
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield nearly let a come back. He made some

419
00:20:02,813 --> 00:20:05,933
Speaker 1: amazing plays down the stretch, but the Eagles get the win.

420
00:20:06,173 --> 00:20:06,973
Speaker 3: Are now four to ozho.

421
00:20:07,013 --> 00:20:10,133
Speaker 1: They've basically beaten in the last couple of weeks the

422
00:20:10,173 --> 00:20:12,333
Speaker 1: teams that they could end up tied with a lot

423
00:20:12,373 --> 00:20:12,693
Speaker 1: of them.

424
00:20:13,213 --> 00:20:13,973
Speaker 3: Great start for.

425
00:20:13,933 --> 00:20:16,053
Speaker 1: Them, but you know, the Bucks did come away from

426
00:20:16,053 --> 00:20:18,093
Speaker 1: me drew as like a real contender.

427
00:20:19,053 --> 00:20:21,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, with Philly ups so big, even

428
00:20:21,693 --> 00:20:24,133
Speaker 2: when Tampa started chipping away at it in the second half.

429
00:20:24,213 --> 00:20:26,653
Speaker 3: I never really thought they'd win, but a part of me.

430
00:20:26,693 --> 00:20:29,093
Speaker 2: Perked up on the couch a little bit, thinking it's

431
00:20:29,133 --> 00:20:33,133
Speaker 2: Mayfield about to lead another comeback, because the first three

432
00:20:33,173 --> 00:20:36,133
Speaker 2: games of the season he led comeback wins. Now you're

433
00:20:36,133 --> 00:20:38,613
Speaker 2: playing the defending Super Bowl chance and champs, and he

434
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:40,693
Speaker 2: had a shot. He threw a through an interception an

435
00:20:40,773 --> 00:20:42,173
Speaker 2: end zone late in the game, down eight, and then

436
00:20:42,213 --> 00:20:44,653
Speaker 2: they had a turnover and downs later. But it made

437
00:20:44,653 --> 00:20:46,893
Speaker 2: for a very entertaining game when it was otherwise pretty

438
00:20:46,893 --> 00:20:48,693
Speaker 2: boring in the first half of Eagles up so much.

439
00:20:49,653 --> 00:20:54,773
Speaker 3: Let's say you don't root for a team is Baker

440
00:20:54,933 --> 00:21:00,253
Speaker 3: may In my opinion, Baker Mayfield is maybe the most

441
00:21:00,373 --> 00:21:04,853
Speaker 3: fun player outside of Lamar if you don't care about

442
00:21:04,853 --> 00:21:08,413
Speaker 3: the team, just in terms of fun to watch in

443
00:21:08,453 --> 00:21:10,813
Speaker 3: the NFL, I think Lamar's number one, but I would

444
00:21:10,813 --> 00:21:12,973
Speaker 3: say Baker Mayfield's number two. Do you agree with that?

445
00:21:13,693 --> 00:21:17,053
Speaker 2: I completely agree. He's obviously has the talent, and he's

446
00:21:17,053 --> 00:21:19,572
Speaker 2: really tapped into that again lately and revived his career.

447
00:21:19,733 --> 00:21:22,653
Speaker 2: But he's he's just got a little swagger and a

448
00:21:22,653 --> 00:21:25,693
Speaker 2: little juice where you can't look away even you know,

449
00:21:25,813 --> 00:21:27,693
Speaker 2: if he hadn't end up at Cleveland, I think he

450
00:21:27,733 --> 00:21:29,413
Speaker 2: could even have a better career than he has now

451
00:21:29,453 --> 00:21:31,813
Speaker 2: we all realize that. But he's been pretty marketable since

452
00:21:31,813 --> 00:21:33,973
Speaker 2: he got drafted, and now that they're pretty good and

453
00:21:34,013 --> 00:21:36,773
Speaker 2: he's got pieces around him and they're so fun to watch.

454
00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:39,333
Speaker 2: He is like one of the more just guys you

455
00:21:39,373 --> 00:21:42,333
Speaker 2: want to sit down and watch if certainly if they're

456
00:21:42,333 --> 00:21:43,893
Speaker 2: in a close game and he can come back like.

457
00:21:43,853 --> 00:21:46,973
Speaker 1: This, well, he he was ranked we talked about this

458
00:21:47,053 --> 00:21:50,332
Speaker 1: last episode as the fifth best quarterback currently in the NFL.

459
00:21:50,413 --> 00:21:53,853
Speaker 1: We kind of thought that was crazy, but maybe it's not.

460
00:21:54,293 --> 00:21:55,853
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's not. I mean that was a

461
00:21:55,853 --> 00:21:58,173
Speaker 1: great performance. Of course, the Eagles actually did win the game.

462
00:21:58,573 --> 00:22:03,453
Speaker 1: Their defense is so dominant. I actually thought Tom.

463
00:22:03,293 --> 00:22:05,293
Speaker 3: Brady did a really good job on the game today,

464
00:22:05,413 --> 00:22:07,533
Speaker 3: something I haven't said a lot when he's called these games.

465
00:22:07,533 --> 00:22:09,253
Speaker 3: We actually thought he did a really good job.

466
00:22:09,413 --> 00:22:12,853
Speaker 1: Just showing the plays that the Eagles make that no

467
00:22:12,933 --> 00:22:13,733
Speaker 1: other team would make.

468
00:22:13,773 --> 00:22:16,493
Speaker 3: And they have like seven guys at various positions that

469
00:22:16,573 --> 00:22:16,933
Speaker 3: can do.

470
00:22:16,933 --> 00:22:18,893
Speaker 2: It, and now they're showing off. They got up for

471
00:22:18,933 --> 00:22:21,773
Speaker 2: a toush push today. You know, everybody surrounds it and

472
00:22:21,813 --> 00:22:23,373
Speaker 2: we know it's gonna happen, and then they run a

473
00:22:23,413 --> 00:22:25,572
Speaker 2: little fake and hand it off to Saquon Barkley for

474
00:22:25,613 --> 00:22:27,933
Speaker 2: a TD. So they're flexing a little bad. I believe

475
00:22:27,973 --> 00:22:30,493
Speaker 2: they did two fake to it pushes today, So now

476
00:22:30,573 --> 00:22:32,733
Speaker 2: and we already know they have the unstoppable playing football,

477
00:22:32,733 --> 00:22:34,733
Speaker 2: and now they're just toying with people when they line

478
00:22:34,773 --> 00:22:35,493
Speaker 2: up to do that one.

479
00:22:36,013 --> 00:22:38,293
Speaker 3: What was the debate this week about the tush push

480
00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:40,573
Speaker 3: that people are all going off sides and then there's

481
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:45,373
Speaker 3: like maybe illegal defensive plays trying to do it. My

482
00:22:45,493 --> 00:22:48,253
Speaker 3: gud here on this tour his named Lee.

483
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:49,933
Speaker 1: He's a big rugby guy, and he was trying to

484
00:22:49,973 --> 00:22:52,573
Speaker 1: convince me that rugby was better than the NFL.

485
00:22:53,013 --> 00:22:55,653
Speaker 3: And we were watching the spring box.

486
00:22:55,733 --> 00:22:58,413
Speaker 1: The South African team was playing rugby yesterday and they

487
00:22:58,453 --> 00:23:00,333
Speaker 1: do those scrums. I mean, you know what that drew

488
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:02,693
Speaker 1: is drew when like all those big hulky dudes just

489
00:23:02,773 --> 00:23:05,853
Speaker 1: knock each other's shoulders and look like bahemos out there,

490
00:23:06,693 --> 00:23:11,052
Speaker 1: and it's to me, like the most barbaric of things

491
00:23:11,093 --> 00:23:13,572
Speaker 1: in sports. But the touch bush is kind of the

492
00:23:13,693 --> 00:23:15,973
Speaker 1: NFL's version of that, isn't it.

493
00:23:15,973 --> 00:23:18,613
Speaker 2: It is, and I think people are getting annoyed because

494
00:23:18,693 --> 00:23:21,493
Speaker 2: just the last couple of weeks there's been super slow

495
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:25,173
Speaker 2: mo at the lone of scrimmage where they there's a coach.

496
00:23:25,173 --> 00:23:28,453
Speaker 2: A couple of times the entire offensive line has false started,

497
00:23:28,493 --> 00:23:30,332
Speaker 2: but others just one or two guys and they're not

498
00:23:30,373 --> 00:23:33,213
Speaker 2: getting called. So I think there's a frustration with Look,

499
00:23:33,253 --> 00:23:35,292
Speaker 2: it's already unstoppable, and now you're not even gonna call

500
00:23:35,293 --> 00:23:36,933
Speaker 2: it when they're false starting, and it's making it even

501
00:23:36,933 --> 00:23:39,493
Speaker 2: more unstoppable because there's been several examples of that, but

502
00:23:39,533 --> 00:23:41,733
Speaker 2: it's hard to call it and bang bang like that

503
00:23:41,733 --> 00:23:42,733
Speaker 2: when they're all piled.

504
00:23:42,493 --> 00:23:59,213
Speaker 1: Up, the Giants end up getting their first win and

505
00:23:59,373 --> 00:24:02,173
Speaker 1: upset well in the charge Just let's start with this, Drew,

506
00:24:02,213 --> 00:24:04,613
Speaker 1: you're now the first person out of the NFL Cover

507
00:24:04,773 --> 00:24:09,052
Speaker 1: zero survivor League. I tried to warn you against picking

508
00:24:09,093 --> 00:24:11,693
Speaker 1: the Chargers Jackson Dart's first start.

509
00:24:11,413 --> 00:24:13,853
Speaker 3: They were at home. This had all the makings to

510
00:24:13,893 --> 00:24:18,093
Speaker 3: me of it. Upset you even bet on Jackson Dart

511
00:24:18,133 --> 00:24:21,253
Speaker 3: to score a touchdown. Whish you remember that was Billy's

512
00:24:21,813 --> 00:24:25,613
Speaker 3: touchdown pick last week. It worked, and yet you still

513
00:24:25,653 --> 00:24:27,933
Speaker 3: picked him, and now you're out of the Survivor League,

514
00:24:28,053 --> 00:24:29,093
Speaker 3: leaving me and Billy.

515
00:24:29,253 --> 00:24:31,092
Speaker 2: I know, tough loss for me, Thank you Billy. Though,

516
00:24:31,133 --> 00:24:34,173
Speaker 2: for the Jackson Dart touchdown, he scored like like one

517
00:24:34,253 --> 00:24:36,653
Speaker 2: oh five today. It was the first touchdown in any games.

518
00:24:36,853 --> 00:24:38,173
Speaker 2: We got that one out of the way, but not

519
00:24:38,453 --> 00:24:40,413
Speaker 2: leaving the Survivor League. I mean, if I could go

520
00:24:40,453 --> 00:24:42,572
Speaker 2: back in time, there were still of my options, it

521
00:24:42,573 --> 00:24:44,532
Speaker 2: was the biggest point spread, so I don't regret it.

522
00:24:45,293 --> 00:24:46,933
Speaker 3: No, there were a lot of that. Like this was

523
00:24:46,973 --> 00:24:48,613
Speaker 3: a in theory, a tough day.

524
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:50,413
Speaker 1: I mean, I was trying to tell you to pick

525
00:24:50,453 --> 00:24:53,733
Speaker 1: against your Titans, to pick the Texans, which we'll do

526
00:24:53,773 --> 00:24:57,893
Speaker 1: in a second. But still Jackson Dart, I mean, he

527
00:24:57,933 --> 00:25:00,773
Speaker 1: didn't look great, but he can run the ball. And

528
00:25:00,813 --> 00:25:03,173
Speaker 1: it's clear of the crowd is much more excited about

529
00:25:03,213 --> 00:25:04,053
Speaker 1: him being the quarterback.

530
00:25:04,773 --> 00:25:07,533
Speaker 2: Just we knew when they signed Russell Wilson. Nobody wants

531
00:25:07,613 --> 00:25:10,413
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson as their quarterback, and they tried it.

532
00:25:10,453 --> 00:25:10,973
Speaker 3: Anyway.

533
00:25:11,293 --> 00:25:13,853
Speaker 2: Now, if you're a Giants fan, even in not knowing

534
00:25:13,893 --> 00:25:16,572
Speaker 2: what Jackson Dart is, it's like, just please let us

535
00:25:16,613 --> 00:25:18,893
Speaker 2: just see what the rookie is. Anything is better than

536
00:25:18,933 --> 00:25:21,853
Speaker 2: watching Russell Wilson at the end of his career, who

537
00:25:21,933 --> 00:25:23,812
Speaker 2: didn't even look like he wanted to win last week.

538
00:25:24,013 --> 00:25:25,653
Speaker 2: So as a fan, you were just glad to hit

539
00:25:25,653 --> 00:25:29,133
Speaker 2: reset today. But then he looked good, didn't throw any interceptions,

540
00:25:29,253 --> 00:25:33,013
Speaker 2: he ran for over fifty yards, including that touchdown run.

541
00:25:33,453 --> 00:25:33,893
Speaker 3: So sure.

542
00:25:34,013 --> 00:25:36,133
Speaker 2: I mean, also, you beat an unbeaten team. I mean,

543
00:25:36,253 --> 00:25:37,933
Speaker 2: is it gonna turn the Giant season a round? I

544
00:25:37,933 --> 00:25:39,413
Speaker 2: don't know, but at least you have a rookie you

545
00:25:39,413 --> 00:25:41,893
Speaker 2: can be it excited about, and it probably saved Dave.

546
00:25:41,693 --> 00:25:43,253
Speaker 3: Ball's job at least a little bit longer.

547
00:25:44,173 --> 00:25:46,812
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who is like Russell Wilson is

548
00:25:46,813 --> 00:25:49,133
Speaker 1: the if you're a fan of a team, when the

549
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:52,332
Speaker 1: headline comes your team has signed Russell Wilson, that's the

550
00:25:52,373 --> 00:25:54,853
Speaker 1: worst headline you could see because you know you're spending

551
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:56,813
Speaker 1: a lot of money and he's not gonna be good.

552
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:59,693
Speaker 1: It's the worst head It's like, I don't know, back

553
00:25:59,973 --> 00:26:02,693
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who the NBA equivalent to that is,

554
00:26:02,813 --> 00:26:05,693
Speaker 1: maybe James Harden. Right, you're gonna sign him, you know

555
00:26:05,733 --> 00:26:07,173
Speaker 1: he's gonna take every shot.

556
00:26:07,373 --> 00:26:08,173
Speaker 3: You know it's gonna be.

557
00:26:08,093 --> 00:26:09,773
Speaker 1: Boring, and you know you're not gonna win a title,

558
00:26:10,493 --> 00:26:12,893
Speaker 1: except James Harden's a whole lot better than Russell Wilson is.

559
00:26:13,013 --> 00:26:13,413
Speaker 3: Oh great.

560
00:26:13,453 --> 00:26:15,773
Speaker 2: We signed Paul George off another injury.

561
00:26:15,853 --> 00:26:17,973
Speaker 3: That's that's about what. She's a good one.

562
00:26:18,813 --> 00:26:22,253
Speaker 1: Paul George is a really good, really good call for

563
00:26:22,293 --> 00:26:26,613
Speaker 1: that elite neighbors. Unfortunately, towards ACL that stinks because you

564
00:26:26,613 --> 00:26:28,893
Speaker 1: could tell, you know, he finally gets a quarterback, he

565
00:26:28,933 --> 00:26:32,572
Speaker 1: feels like I'll throwing the ball, he gets hurt. We

566
00:26:32,613 --> 00:26:36,693
Speaker 1: need to officially alert the TV broadcasters they are showing

567
00:26:36,933 --> 00:26:41,813
Speaker 1: showing I think an inordinate amount drew of Jackson Dart's

568
00:26:41,973 --> 00:26:43,413
Speaker 1: mom on television.

569
00:26:43,573 --> 00:26:45,213
Speaker 3: We did see a lot of the Darts, a lot

570
00:26:45,293 --> 00:26:49,733
Speaker 3: of there's a lot of Jackson Dart mom on television.

571
00:26:49,773 --> 00:26:51,973
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not telling producers what to do,

572
00:26:52,013 --> 00:26:55,813
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, if it's the kid's first game,

573
00:26:56,293 --> 00:26:59,013
Speaker 1: which I guess today was, I think showing his parents

574
00:26:59,133 --> 00:27:01,893
Speaker 1: is okay. But I'm getting the feeling that we're going

575
00:27:01,973 --> 00:27:04,933
Speaker 1: to have Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey vibes in terms of

576
00:27:04,973 --> 00:27:08,213
Speaker 1: amount shown of Jackson Dart's mom. That's just my initial

577
00:27:08,413 --> 00:27:11,333
Speaker 1: pre This is my prediction for the Giants this year.

578
00:27:11,933 --> 00:27:13,933
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see because they said first

579
00:27:13,973 --> 00:27:15,933
Speaker 2: rookie start. You know, they usually show a parent in

580
00:27:15,933 --> 00:27:18,373
Speaker 2: the crowd. A few weeks ago, the Titans showed cam

581
00:27:18,413 --> 00:27:21,413
Speaker 2: Ward's dad going crazy in the aisle. But if this continues,

582
00:27:21,453 --> 00:27:23,613
Speaker 2: I'm ready to put Taylor Swift on the hot seat

583
00:27:23,613 --> 00:27:26,853
Speaker 2: with you. I think I think the new.

584
00:27:28,133 --> 00:27:31,253
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're in the same league. I'm just

585
00:27:31,373 --> 00:27:33,013
Speaker 3: saying she's gonna be.

586
00:27:33,653 --> 00:27:35,332
Speaker 2: I want to be the new Wives. She on my

587
00:27:35,413 --> 00:27:38,493
Speaker 2: TV show Football. That's gonna get everybody worked up. They're

588
00:27:38,493 --> 00:27:41,173
Speaker 2: gonna be bringing her in with big curtains in the

589
00:27:41,253 --> 00:27:43,253
Speaker 2: back where you can't get pictures of her before she's

590
00:27:43,293 --> 00:27:45,373
Speaker 2: in her seat. True will be everywhere, and we're in

591
00:27:45,413 --> 00:27:45,933
Speaker 2: that direction.

592
00:27:46,013 --> 00:27:47,973
Speaker 3: We gotta get in front of it.

593
00:27:49,093 --> 00:27:53,092
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna get if he keeps winning, then I

594
00:27:53,133 --> 00:27:55,812
Speaker 1: will even I'll get you a cameo from Jackson Dart's

595
00:27:55,813 --> 00:27:58,572
Speaker 1: mom as a as my present for you for the

596
00:27:58,613 --> 00:28:01,693
Speaker 1: Giants getting their their first victory. I'm gonna just say

597
00:28:01,733 --> 00:28:06,733
Speaker 1: the Texans beat the Titans twenty six to nothing, cam

598
00:28:06,813 --> 00:28:13,453
Speaker 1: Ward uh said after the game quote we ask Drew Franklin,

599
00:28:13,533 --> 00:28:17,933
Speaker 1: as a resident Titans fan on the podcast.

600
00:28:18,173 --> 00:28:20,453
Speaker 2: That's my quarterback. Just call it like it is. He

601
00:28:20,573 --> 00:28:25,133
Speaker 2: said more than once that. We asked, Uh, it's not

602
00:28:25,173 --> 00:28:27,333
Speaker 2: always what you want your quarterback to say. In fact,

603
00:28:27,533 --> 00:28:29,373
Speaker 2: in one of the lines he said, if I'm keeping

604
00:28:29,413 --> 00:28:32,173
Speaker 2: it a buck, we asked, so I'm gonna get my

605
00:28:32,333 --> 00:28:32,812
Speaker 2: we keep.

606
00:28:32,693 --> 00:28:37,853
Speaker 1: It a buck, We asked, that's like a thousand bucks.

607
00:28:37,973 --> 00:28:41,053
Speaker 2: They're so terrible, though, I mean, they're so bad. He

608
00:28:41,133 --> 00:28:43,813
Speaker 2: had one fun cross body throw like he did a

609
00:28:43,853 --> 00:28:45,693
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago in the first quarter. That got

610
00:28:45,733 --> 00:28:49,013
Speaker 2: us excited, but there was nothing else to be excited about.

611
00:28:49,173 --> 00:28:52,573
Speaker 2: Texans aren't good. They owed three teams here and you

612
00:28:52,613 --> 00:28:55,253
Speaker 2: get completely shut out. Never even stood a chance. It's

613
00:28:55,293 --> 00:28:56,773
Speaker 2: gonna be such a long season.

614
00:28:56,933 --> 00:29:00,093
Speaker 3: Well there was. That was a fun moment today, though.

615
00:29:00,133 --> 00:29:02,573
Speaker 2: A couple got married on the field of an oh

616
00:29:02,653 --> 00:29:05,253
Speaker 2: and three versus oh and three go so and nothing

617
00:29:05,293 --> 00:29:08,093
Speaker 2: says love Titans Texans on a Sunday.

618
00:29:08,333 --> 00:29:09,013
Speaker 3: They got married.

619
00:29:09,053 --> 00:29:11,733
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, god on, they got married on the field,

620
00:29:11,893 --> 00:29:13,093
Speaker 1: like at halftime or something.

621
00:29:13,133 --> 00:29:14,813
Speaker 2: It was a little before the game. That shows you

622
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:17,533
Speaker 2: how much the Titans and Texans cared about this game, Like, oh,

623
00:29:17,573 --> 00:29:19,653
Speaker 2: you couldn't find a wedding venue. Why don't you just

624
00:29:19,773 --> 00:29:22,013
Speaker 2: use our field thirty minutes before kickoff.

625
00:29:24,733 --> 00:29:26,173
Speaker 3: You got to get fan engagement.

626
00:29:26,253 --> 00:29:28,613
Speaker 1: How you can This is the well, this is the

627
00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:32,093
Speaker 1: literal way to get a fan engagement is to let.

628
00:29:31,933 --> 00:29:34,773
Speaker 3: Them do it on the field. That is a depressing

629
00:29:35,853 --> 00:29:37,533
Speaker 3: that's a sound like a package.

630
00:29:37,533 --> 00:29:41,973
Speaker 2: You can bothers that got married in the I.

631
00:29:41,933 --> 00:29:43,413
Speaker 1: Was excited about the ones that got married in the

632
00:29:43,413 --> 00:29:45,893
Speaker 1: parking lot. This to me seems a little more depressing.

633
00:29:45,973 --> 00:29:46,133
Speaker 3: Drew.

634
00:29:46,533 --> 00:29:48,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a we had an I do and

635
00:29:48,373 --> 00:29:50,573
Speaker 2: a wee ass at the at the Titans Texans games.

636
00:29:50,613 --> 00:29:52,973
Speaker 2: Just exciting stuff. Football not so much.

637
00:29:54,413 --> 00:29:57,693
Speaker 1: Those of you tells are hugely things that should go together.

638
00:29:57,773 --> 00:30:04,013
Speaker 1: Falcons and the Commanders Michael Pennocks Junior played very well

639
00:30:04,053 --> 00:30:06,813
Speaker 1: after they were after they were terrible last week.

640
00:30:07,213 --> 00:30:10,053
Speaker 3: Comes out. They get a win against Marcus Mariota.

641
00:30:09,693 --> 00:30:12,893
Speaker 1: Who every time I see the gray it throws me

642
00:30:12,933 --> 00:30:16,293
Speaker 1: off ter I mean, maybe a little just for him,

643
00:30:16,573 --> 00:30:19,253
Speaker 1: just a little bit, if you're gonna be on playing

644
00:30:19,293 --> 00:30:21,013
Speaker 1: on national television, I.

645
00:30:20,893 --> 00:30:24,413
Speaker 2: Agree, but I'm happy for him. You know that's not

646
00:30:24,533 --> 00:30:26,213
Speaker 2: kind of gray. He's all the way gray, but so

647
00:30:26,253 --> 00:30:28,173
Speaker 2: out there throwing for a couple of touchdowns. They don't

648
00:30:28,173 --> 00:30:31,253
Speaker 2: win the game, but I am happy that Marcus Marioda

649
00:30:31,253 --> 00:30:33,533
Speaker 2: has a little life until Jade Daniels comes back probably

650
00:30:33,533 --> 00:30:34,053
Speaker 2: next week.

651
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,773
Speaker 3: Who is the he reminds me of.

652
00:30:36,853 --> 00:30:40,733
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen those old pictures of the football player,

653
00:30:40,893 --> 00:30:42,693
Speaker 1: like in the fifties y A tittle?

654
00:30:42,773 --> 00:30:43,773
Speaker 3: Yeah? Have you ever seen?

655
00:30:43,893 --> 00:30:44,013
Speaker 2: Oh?

656
00:30:44,093 --> 00:30:47,733
Speaker 1: Yeah, that picture is Marcus Mariota, our new y A

657
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:51,253
Speaker 1: tittle on his knees on the field, like with a like.

658
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:54,373
Speaker 3: A bald horseship and ring around his head. Is that

659
00:30:54,733 --> 00:30:56,933
Speaker 3: my Marcus Mariota, the new ye tittle?

660
00:30:57,053 --> 00:30:59,533
Speaker 2: I think so we could just black and whitest photo

661
00:30:59,813 --> 00:31:01,133
Speaker 2: and add him to the collection.

662
00:31:01,253 --> 00:31:03,253
Speaker 3: But he's not playing like he's old. It's just very

663
00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:03,813
Speaker 3: unique for.

664
00:31:03,893 --> 00:31:06,573
Speaker 2: Guy because he's I think he's only thirty one, but

665
00:31:06,653 --> 00:31:10,013
Speaker 2: it's it's completely gray. I guess when you're used to

666
00:31:10,053 --> 00:31:11,973
Speaker 2: be the quarterback of the Titans, it ages you.

667
00:31:13,373 --> 00:31:15,813
Speaker 3: Am. I the first person to ever compare Marcus Mario

668
00:31:15,893 --> 00:31:19,093
Speaker 3: to White. No thank anyone else has ever done that.

669
00:31:19,613 --> 00:31:21,613
Speaker 2: I think that was on a scouting report out of Oregon.

670
00:31:22,293 --> 00:31:24,733
Speaker 2: Got a lot of ye tittle with him.

671
00:31:25,013 --> 00:31:27,733
Speaker 1: I do like when people will try to argue that

672
00:31:27,933 --> 00:31:31,973
Speaker 1: athletes back in the day were more athletic or better

673
00:31:32,053 --> 00:31:34,733
Speaker 1: than they are now. I just will show them the

674
00:31:34,773 --> 00:31:41,453
Speaker 1: picture of why Tittle just I mean, remember why Tittle's

675
00:31:41,453 --> 00:31:44,413
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. That was a Hall of Famer

676
00:31:45,173 --> 00:31:45,653
Speaker 1: back then.

677
00:31:46,133 --> 00:31:50,133
Speaker 2: So there's one of George Blanda too, where if you

678
00:31:50,173 --> 00:31:52,493
Speaker 2: were to just show someone a photos like if you

679
00:31:52,613 --> 00:31:54,253
Speaker 2: if you didn't have the pass on and you say

680
00:31:54,253 --> 00:31:56,213
Speaker 2: how old is see, people would be like sixty five

681
00:31:56,293 --> 00:31:56,693
Speaker 2: years old?

682
00:31:56,693 --> 00:31:57,933
Speaker 3: That is that is a seventy.

683
00:31:57,693 --> 00:32:00,173
Speaker 1: Five looks like he looks like a Civil War general

684
00:32:00,213 --> 00:32:01,333
Speaker 1: at that picture.

685
00:32:03,293 --> 00:32:05,013
Speaker 2: Marks Mario joining the conversation.

686
00:32:09,093 --> 00:32:13,013
Speaker 1: There's a lineage from from why Tittle to George Blade

687
00:32:13,893 --> 00:32:15,973
Speaker 1: now to Marcus Marcus Mariota.

688
00:32:16,013 --> 00:32:16,533
Speaker 3: Good for him.

689
00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:20,133
Speaker 1: Although they did lose the game, Falcons win. This is

690
00:32:20,733 --> 00:32:23,093
Speaker 1: one of the things I've said for years. There's no

691
00:32:23,213 --> 00:32:27,213
Speaker 1: team on Earth in any sport that you can predict less.

692
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:30,173
Speaker 1: The results of their games drew than the Falcons. Every

693
00:32:30,213 --> 00:32:32,493
Speaker 1: game you think they're going to win, they lose thirty

694
00:32:32,533 --> 00:32:34,493
Speaker 1: to nothing. Like last week, when you think they're going

695
00:32:34,573 --> 00:32:37,373
Speaker 1: to lose, they beat the Commanders at home. That's just

696
00:32:37,413 --> 00:32:39,093
Speaker 1: what the fact they've been like that for like the

697
00:32:39,133 --> 00:32:40,013
Speaker 1: last seven years.

698
00:32:40,173 --> 00:32:44,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely destroyed last week by the Panthers and

699
00:32:44,173 --> 00:32:45,693
Speaker 2: then turn around and win this game.

700
00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:48,973
Speaker 1: That's that's the way they are. The Saints beat the

701
00:32:49,693 --> 00:32:53,373
Speaker 1: Bills beat the Saints thirty one to nineteen. Saints hung

702
00:32:53,453 --> 00:32:56,093
Speaker 1: with them, played pretty well. I think the reason is

703
00:32:56,973 --> 00:33:00,493
Speaker 1: they said during the game that Spencer Rattler, who Billy

704
00:33:00,533 --> 00:33:04,173
Speaker 1: told me before, he's oh and ten. He's oh and

705
00:33:04,293 --> 00:33:07,133
Speaker 1: ten for his career. He's the ninth back in NFL

706
00:33:07,293 --> 00:33:11,933
Speaker 1: history to start his career oh to ten. I'm not

707
00:33:12,213 --> 00:33:14,653
Speaker 1: so much surprised that Spencer Rattler is oh and ten,

708
00:33:14,733 --> 00:33:17,693
Speaker 1: but are you surprised that nine quarterbacks have started their

709
00:33:17,733 --> 00:33:18,493
Speaker 1: career oh and ten.

710
00:33:19,573 --> 00:33:21,813
Speaker 2: I would think that starting your career oh in ten

711
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:24,413
Speaker 2: is about as bad as it could be. And now

712
00:33:24,493 --> 00:33:27,373
Speaker 2: you couldn't have anyone else in that conversation, but to

713
00:33:27,413 --> 00:33:29,573
Speaker 2: have nine other people, yeah, that's surprising.

714
00:33:30,773 --> 00:33:33,613
Speaker 1: That is extremely surprising me. But at least he has

715
00:33:33,653 --> 00:33:35,973
Speaker 1: a lot of company. I do think the reason they

716
00:33:36,013 --> 00:33:38,213
Speaker 1: kept it close is they said during the game Spencer

717
00:33:38,293 --> 00:33:44,373
Speaker 1: Rattler in the backup Tyler Shuck both celebrated their birthday today.

718
00:33:44,653 --> 00:33:49,333
Speaker 3: They are the only starter and backup in the last

719
00:33:49,373 --> 00:33:52,493
Speaker 3: ten years in the NFL to share a birthday. It's

720
00:33:52,533 --> 00:33:55,093
Speaker 3: been ran a nice piece of trivia. They said to

721
00:33:55,173 --> 00:33:55,893
Speaker 3: day during the game.

722
00:33:55,973 --> 00:33:58,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, here go lose to the Bills on your birthday.

723
00:33:59,213 --> 00:34:01,693
Speaker 2: One exciting thing for Rattler is that one of the

724
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:04,653
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that went oh and ten as Troy Aikman.

725
00:34:04,453 --> 00:34:05,173
Speaker 3: And Warren Moon.

726
00:34:05,253 --> 00:34:07,773
Speaker 2: So you will, okay, war Moon also, so maybe don't

727
00:34:07,813 --> 00:34:08,292
Speaker 2: give up.

728
00:34:09,053 --> 00:34:11,133
Speaker 3: When you have the names. I'd like to see what

729
00:34:11,172 --> 00:34:14,412
Speaker 3: are the names? Uh, Deshaun and Warren Moon both very good?

730
00:34:14,732 --> 00:34:17,533
Speaker 3: Keep going, Deshaun Kayser, Jack Trudeau.

731
00:34:17,212 --> 00:34:20,252
Speaker 1: Okay, hang on, don't just run through these. DeShawn Kayser.

732
00:34:20,772 --> 00:34:23,012
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, right, isn't that where he went?

733
00:34:23,212 --> 00:34:24,212
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an easy one.

734
00:34:24,292 --> 00:34:26,652
Speaker 2: As I was going to say, any Cleveland Brown is

735
00:34:26,692 --> 00:34:28,252
Speaker 2: probably on this list, and he was.

736
00:34:28,332 --> 00:34:32,172
Speaker 3: Okay, So, who who's next? Jack Trudeau? Who? I'm not

737
00:34:32,212 --> 00:34:35,853
Speaker 3: sure who that is? Jack Trudeau? He hosted a nature show,

738
00:34:35,933 --> 00:34:37,373
Speaker 3: didn't at some point?

739
00:34:39,172 --> 00:34:41,372
Speaker 1: I think he's the other person I've seen in the

740
00:34:41,413 --> 00:34:43,573
Speaker 1: bush in South Africa.

741
00:34:43,772 --> 00:34:45,212
Speaker 3: I don't think I know who that is.

742
00:34:45,252 --> 00:34:49,733
Speaker 4: Okay, Stan Jelba maybe also another one in the bush

743
00:34:49,772 --> 00:34:51,212
Speaker 4: that you've seen over the last week.

744
00:34:51,212 --> 00:34:53,252
Speaker 1: He was one of the wrestlers in ww when the

745
00:34:53,973 --> 00:34:56,973
Speaker 1: the Jobbers when the Hulk Cogan would come out. I go,

746
00:34:57,212 --> 00:35:01,172
Speaker 1: he's an opponent, Stan Jelba. I just looked up Stan

747
00:35:01,453 --> 00:35:04,333
Speaker 1: joel Ba. That dude sells insurance. That's it, I sell insurance.

748
00:35:04,332 --> 00:35:08,093
Speaker 3: Haircut. Who where do he play? Where did stand Jilball.

749
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:10,573
Speaker 2: Play in this picture? He's a Seahawks uniform.

750
00:35:12,172 --> 00:35:18,812
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Seahawk legend Stan Jilbar. Who else Derek Carr? Okay?

751
00:35:19,292 --> 00:35:22,252
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I mean yeah, but he's playing. I think

752
00:35:22,292 --> 00:35:23,252
Speaker 1: he was on the expansion.

753
00:35:25,133 --> 00:35:27,573
Speaker 2: Zach Mettenberger. Oh, that's one of my guys.

754
00:35:27,613 --> 00:35:28,133
Speaker 3: Tighten up.

755
00:35:28,212 --> 00:35:30,812
Speaker 2: I mean, we asked Zach Mattenberger. He was he was,

756
00:35:31,252 --> 00:35:32,292
Speaker 2: he was our future.

757
00:35:32,093 --> 00:35:33,212
Speaker 3: He was a Titan.

758
00:35:33,493 --> 00:35:34,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the future.

759
00:35:35,413 --> 00:35:35,893
Speaker 3: Yeah.

760
00:35:36,212 --> 00:35:37,453
Speaker 2: Former LSU Tiger.

761
00:35:38,852 --> 00:35:39,212
Speaker 3: Okay.

762
00:35:39,332 --> 00:35:43,133
Speaker 4: And then the finally Brody Croyle as the final quarterback

763
00:35:43,133 --> 00:35:44,373
Speaker 4: to lose their first ten games.

764
00:35:44,413 --> 00:35:47,812
Speaker 3: I know that name, Brody Croyle. Where did he play

765
00:35:47,852 --> 00:35:52,093
Speaker 3: in college? Bama? Okay?

766
00:35:52,133 --> 00:35:55,533
Speaker 1: He was in that long line of like Greg McElroy a, J.

767
00:35:56,252 --> 00:36:00,292
Speaker 1: Mcaerr and those kind of guys. Well interesting company. So

768
00:36:00,332 --> 00:36:02,492
Speaker 1: your career can go one of two ways, Spencer, when

769
00:36:02,533 --> 00:36:05,733
Speaker 1: you start oh and ten, it's up to you. Josh Allen,

770
00:36:05,772 --> 00:36:07,933
Speaker 1: by the way, he really had not run the ball

771
00:36:08,013 --> 00:36:10,372
Speaker 1: at all this year. And the announcer, I'm not sure

772
00:36:10,372 --> 00:36:13,013
Speaker 1: who got stuck on the game, but the guy who

773
00:36:13,053 --> 00:36:14,252
Speaker 1: was doing color commentary, he.

774
00:36:14,252 --> 00:36:16,812
Speaker 3: Was like, Josh Allen has not run the ball at

775
00:36:16,812 --> 00:36:18,813
Speaker 3: all this year, and I wonder if.

776
00:36:18,652 --> 00:36:21,093
Speaker 1: It's a concerted effort for the Bills to save it

777
00:36:21,133 --> 00:36:23,892
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. And literally, on the next play he drew,

778
00:36:23,933 --> 00:36:25,613
Speaker 1: he broke it for forty five yards.

779
00:36:26,933 --> 00:36:31,332
Speaker 3: Announcer jinks it really was like the next play that

780
00:36:31,332 --> 00:36:34,013
Speaker 3: he ran. I was like, oh, poor guy. You know,

781
00:36:34,133 --> 00:36:36,493
Speaker 3: he saved that fact and was ready for it and

782
00:36:36,533 --> 00:36:38,773
Speaker 3: it gets busted. Drew one play later.

783
00:36:39,212 --> 00:36:42,372
Speaker 2: I was surprised that this was even remotely a game

784
00:36:42,413 --> 00:36:45,212
Speaker 2: in the second half because this was a sixteen and

785
00:36:45,252 --> 00:36:48,133
Speaker 2: a half point spread, and it was the Saint's' biggest

786
00:36:48,133 --> 00:36:50,012
Speaker 2: spread since nineteen seventy five.

787
00:36:50,732 --> 00:36:52,533
Speaker 3: That's what people thought of them had in the area.

788
00:36:52,692 --> 00:36:55,172
Speaker 2: There's such thing as a moral victory. On Spencer Rattler

789
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:57,093
Speaker 2: and Tyler Shuck's birthday, I guess they got one.

790
00:36:58,533 --> 00:37:02,412
Speaker 1: Is that how today he's gonna be Knowncer Rattler and

791
00:37:02,573 --> 00:37:05,853
Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck's birthday. It was actually also drew two girls

792
00:37:06,252 --> 00:37:08,213
Speaker 1: on my trip's birthday as well.

793
00:37:08,973 --> 00:37:09,692
Speaker 3: Shout out to.

794
00:37:11,413 --> 00:37:16,373
Speaker 1: Sarah and whoever the other one whose birthday was Angie.

795
00:37:16,453 --> 00:37:18,452
Speaker 1: I think shout out to them as well for having

796
00:37:18,453 --> 00:37:18,933
Speaker 1: their birthday.

797
00:37:18,973 --> 00:37:20,533
Speaker 2: You better hope they don't listen. Now, she's gonna be

798
00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:21,692
Speaker 2: upset you struggling with her name.

799
00:37:21,812 --> 00:37:22,693
Speaker 3: I don't think they listen.

800
00:37:22,852 --> 00:37:25,372
Speaker 1: I don't think there's one person on this trip that's

801
00:37:25,413 --> 00:37:28,412
Speaker 1: a sports fan. They kind of give and gave me

802
00:37:28,453 --> 00:37:31,572
Speaker 1: that look when I said I did podcasts, they were like, well,

803
00:37:31,573 --> 00:37:32,652
Speaker 1: that's nice for you.

804
00:37:34,292 --> 00:37:35,932
Speaker 2: Or they could be listening right now in the tent

805
00:37:36,013 --> 00:37:38,293
Speaker 2: next to you as you're you're off doing this at midnight.

806
00:37:38,332 --> 00:37:41,812
Speaker 1: Actually that's the better chance they're hearing it as they're

807
00:37:41,852 --> 00:37:46,452
Speaker 1: hearing me right now talking about it. Lines beat the

808
00:37:46,493 --> 00:37:49,053
Speaker 1: Browns thirty four to ten. Brown score on the first position,

809
00:37:49,573 --> 00:37:51,612
Speaker 1: do nothing the rest of the game, And.

810
00:37:51,533 --> 00:37:53,413
Speaker 3: The same thing with the Panthers and the Patriots.

811
00:37:53,453 --> 00:37:55,732
Speaker 1: Panthers score on the first posision and they end up

812
00:37:55,772 --> 00:38:00,212
Speaker 1: losing forty two thirteen. Lines were my Survivor League pick.

813
00:38:00,613 --> 00:38:05,172
Speaker 1: We stay with it, by the way, Billies was the Bills.

814
00:38:05,252 --> 00:38:08,533
Speaker 1: He got to stay as well. James Cook was also

815
00:38:08,613 --> 00:38:11,893
Speaker 1: my touchdown pick. He scored Nico Collins scored for Billy

816
00:38:12,613 --> 00:38:16,093
Speaker 1: Patriots lines. Anything you cared about either of these two games.

817
00:38:18,093 --> 00:38:22,013
Speaker 2: The Lions not so much. Just another blowout. They're obviously

818
00:38:22,292 --> 00:38:24,533
Speaker 2: going to be a contender in the NFC. After struggling

819
00:38:24,613 --> 00:38:28,013
Speaker 2: that first game Patriots game, Drake May looked really good.

820
00:38:28,573 --> 00:38:30,053
Speaker 3: After there's been some questions about him.

821
00:38:30,133 --> 00:38:33,852
Speaker 2: Had three touchdowns, no turnovers, completed almost every pass, and

822
00:38:33,893 --> 00:38:36,172
Speaker 2: then I enjoyed, you know, a big Mike Rabel guy.

823
00:38:36,292 --> 00:38:38,613
Speaker 2: I enjoyed just watching him put a big dip in

824
00:38:38,613 --> 00:38:40,733
Speaker 2: in the middle of the game, you know, just missing

825
00:38:40,732 --> 00:38:41,253
Speaker 2: that very.

826
00:38:44,133 --> 00:38:46,252
Speaker 1: Don't you're allowed to dip in the middle of the game.

827
00:38:46,292 --> 00:38:48,892
Speaker 1: I'm surprised about that, eh. I thought there was a

828
00:38:48,933 --> 00:38:52,613
Speaker 1: tobacco law. But there's no mistaking he's He's not hiding it.

829
00:38:52,692 --> 00:38:55,572
Speaker 1: He's just throwing in a big, tall right there, throwing

830
00:38:55,573 --> 00:38:57,452
Speaker 1: a big lip in the game.

831
00:38:57,493 --> 00:39:00,372
Speaker 3: You remember Tom Landry taking a dip in the game

832
00:39:00,413 --> 00:39:01,412
Speaker 3: that back in the day.

833
00:39:01,493 --> 00:39:04,692
Speaker 1: You know, they did smoke cigarettes during the game. But

834
00:39:05,732 --> 00:39:07,533
Speaker 1: I kind of I wonder if Frai Bill gets fined.

835
00:39:07,933 --> 00:39:11,892
Speaker 1: I don't think you're allowed to chaw on national television

836
00:39:11,893 --> 00:39:12,453
Speaker 1: as a coach.

837
00:39:12,692 --> 00:39:13,732
Speaker 3: And while he's chawing.

838
00:39:13,772 --> 00:39:17,813
Speaker 2: He gets caught yelling like that's bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep

839
00:39:17,812 --> 00:39:21,452
Speaker 2: and bleep. So I don't think yeah, I mean, there

840
00:39:21,493 --> 00:39:23,252
Speaker 2: was no mistaken when he was yelling. I can't say

841
00:39:23,252 --> 00:39:25,492
Speaker 2: it on NFL Cover zero, But I don't think he's

842
00:39:25,533 --> 00:39:27,172
Speaker 2: caring a lot about the camera and catching him on

843
00:39:27,212 --> 00:39:29,332
Speaker 2: the sideline. He's just he's just gonna do him. When

844
00:39:29,332 --> 00:39:30,812
Speaker 2: you win like that, I guess you can.

845
00:39:31,933 --> 00:39:34,333
Speaker 1: I think the coach that puts chaw in his mouth

846
00:39:34,812 --> 00:39:37,453
Speaker 1: you would think would win the Award of Sports figure

847
00:39:37,533 --> 00:39:41,133
Speaker 1: that gave that cared about what people thought the least.

848
00:39:41,172 --> 00:39:43,692
Speaker 1: But what about the woman at the Ryder Cup leading

849
00:39:43,732 --> 00:39:47,093
Speaker 1: the crowd in a chant of blank you Rory, and

850
00:39:47,172 --> 00:39:49,892
Speaker 1: she got fired today before the finals.

851
00:39:50,292 --> 00:39:52,732
Speaker 3: How did she think that was gonna be work was

852
00:39:52,772 --> 00:39:53,493
Speaker 3: going to be allowed.

853
00:39:53,772 --> 00:39:56,413
Speaker 2: I love the energy of the Ryder Cup and making noise.

854
00:39:56,652 --> 00:39:58,652
Speaker 2: It makes it unique. I know some people think it's

855
00:39:58,652 --> 00:40:01,892
Speaker 2: over the top, but the Americans were way out of

856
00:40:01,933 --> 00:40:03,053
Speaker 2: control this weekend.

857
00:40:04,172 --> 00:40:04,692
Speaker 3: We had that.

858
00:40:04,933 --> 00:40:07,733
Speaker 2: We had somebody actually hit Rory's wife with a drink

859
00:40:08,053 --> 00:40:11,772
Speaker 2: Rory to to shut the bleep up. I get it

860
00:40:11,812 --> 00:40:14,652
Speaker 2: that we cheer USA. It gets a little out of hand.

861
00:40:14,652 --> 00:40:17,252
Speaker 2: This weekend, but we went a little too far as America.

862
00:40:17,292 --> 00:40:20,453
Speaker 1: We were obnoxious. We were obnoxious, We were we were bad.

863
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:22,692
Speaker 1: I mean Shane Lowry, I don't know if you saw

864
00:40:22,692 --> 00:40:26,492
Speaker 1: when he made the putt to uh to finish it out.

865
00:40:26,732 --> 00:40:28,852
Speaker 1: They said, you know, the next one's in Ireland. Are

866
00:40:28,893 --> 00:40:31,493
Speaker 1: you excited? And he was like, it'll be better than this.

867
00:40:32,852 --> 00:40:33,292
Speaker 2: It's on.

868
00:40:34,493 --> 00:40:38,532
Speaker 3: He just had to look like you disgusting Long Islanders.

869
00:40:39,772 --> 00:40:41,573
Speaker 3: But you know, it was pretty bad that.

870
00:40:42,292 --> 00:40:46,053
Speaker 1: I think that yesterday, the Saturday Day, especially during not

871
00:40:46,133 --> 00:40:49,373
Speaker 1: a high point for American the way we reach.

872
00:40:49,212 --> 00:40:52,493
Speaker 3: Out to the world. Maybe it's emblematic today, but that

873
00:40:52,692 --> 00:40:55,052
Speaker 3: was not our best thing right on brand.

874
00:40:55,133 --> 00:40:57,372
Speaker 2: I just hated they made it somewhat close to they

875
00:40:57,372 --> 00:40:59,932
Speaker 2: got a little excitement, but just never in it uh

876
00:41:00,212 --> 00:41:02,492
Speaker 2: to to really get into the Ryder Cup this year.

877
00:41:16,533 --> 00:41:18,373
Speaker 3: All right, before we go to the four o'clock games.

878
00:41:18,613 --> 00:41:21,932
Speaker 1: You were upset about the rule from Thursday night where

879
00:41:21,973 --> 00:41:23,172
Speaker 1: the Seahawks beat the Cardinals.

880
00:41:23,252 --> 00:41:25,172
Speaker 3: You don't like the kick rule? Is that right?

881
00:41:26,613 --> 00:41:29,453
Speaker 2: It was just a bad way to end what was

882
00:41:29,493 --> 00:41:32,492
Speaker 2: a great comeback. I guess the rule is what it is.

883
00:41:32,493 --> 00:41:35,133
Speaker 2: You got to play within the rules. But the Cardinals

884
00:41:35,172 --> 00:41:37,892
Speaker 2: had scored fourteen straight points to tie the game in

885
00:41:37,933 --> 00:41:40,092
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. It looks like we're heading over time.

886
00:41:40,093 --> 00:41:43,372
Speaker 2: There's twenty eight seconds left, but then they didn't kick

887
00:41:43,413 --> 00:41:46,292
Speaker 2: the ball into the landing zone. It landed like right

888
00:41:46,292 --> 00:41:48,573
Speaker 2: at the twenty I mean, it was inches away. So

889
00:41:49,053 --> 00:41:51,172
Speaker 2: the Seahawks ended up getting the ball at to forty.

890
00:41:51,212 --> 00:41:53,652
Speaker 2: It's the equivalent of kicking it out of bounds, and

891
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:56,252
Speaker 2: the twenty eight seconds left they hit a forty yard

892
00:41:56,252 --> 00:41:58,252
Speaker 2: pass and then kick a game winning field goal.

893
00:41:58,372 --> 00:42:00,892
Speaker 3: So see, I like that though.

894
00:42:00,973 --> 00:42:03,093
Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing it in the We saw it

895
00:42:03,212 --> 00:42:05,692
Speaker 1: towards the end of the Bears game. Today they do

896
00:42:05,772 --> 00:42:08,573
Speaker 1: a k you instead of it just going in the

897
00:42:08,652 --> 00:42:11,452
Speaker 1: end zone and then it comes out to thirty, they

898
00:42:11,533 --> 00:42:13,692
Speaker 1: end up not you know, the Raiders return it get

899
00:42:13,852 --> 00:42:16,053
Speaker 1: down the field. I mean, I like the kick return

900
00:42:16,172 --> 00:42:18,692
Speaker 1: being part of the game again. So if you're gonna

901
00:42:18,692 --> 00:42:20,652
Speaker 1: do that, you have to enforce that rule, right.

902
00:42:20,613 --> 00:42:23,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it's no longer it used to be

903
00:42:23,812 --> 00:42:26,252
Speaker 2: just booming out, let's get a touchback. And you know,

904
00:42:26,372 --> 00:42:28,332
Speaker 2: sometimes some teams will still do that and just take

905
00:42:28,332 --> 00:42:30,452
Speaker 2: it at the thirty five. But this new kickoff rule,

906
00:42:30,772 --> 00:42:33,013
Speaker 2: it was done for safety reasons obviously, but it's gotten

907
00:42:33,053 --> 00:42:35,453
Speaker 2: to where you've got to have a really skilled kicker

908
00:42:35,533 --> 00:42:37,652
Speaker 2: and you can get tax goal trying to you know,

909
00:42:37,732 --> 00:42:40,133
Speaker 2: pin them back, and just in this case, it backfired

910
00:42:40,172 --> 00:42:42,933
Speaker 2: where if you don't get it inside that twenty yards,

911
00:42:43,093 --> 00:42:46,372
Speaker 2: you know your opponent's starting near midfield, and you know,

912
00:42:46,453 --> 00:42:49,332
Speaker 2: Darnold hit Jackson Smith and Injigba and then next thing

913
00:42:49,332 --> 00:42:50,812
Speaker 2: you know, there's a fifty two yard field goal on

914
00:42:50,812 --> 00:42:52,292
Speaker 2: and it's over when it looked like the Cardinals had

915
00:42:52,292 --> 00:42:52,812
Speaker 2: FORSTNT team.

916
00:42:52,852 --> 00:42:54,852
Speaker 1: So it's just a unique and I'm for it. I'm

917
00:42:54,852 --> 00:42:57,812
Speaker 1: for it. You got you got like it's it's if

918
00:42:57,812 --> 00:43:00,812
Speaker 1: you're a professional kicker, you should be able to kick

919
00:43:00,852 --> 00:43:02,732
Speaker 1: it in a twenty yard zone.

920
00:43:03,093 --> 00:43:04,772
Speaker 3: You know. It's not like they're asking them to kick

921
00:43:04,772 --> 00:43:08,852
Speaker 3: it on a dime somewhere. So I'm for it. I

922
00:43:08,852 --> 00:43:12,373
Speaker 3: think the Seahawks and the Cardinals, I mean, no offense

923
00:43:12,413 --> 00:43:14,652
Speaker 3: to those two teams, but that's like the Thursday night

924
00:43:14,692 --> 00:43:16,893
Speaker 3: game that people see it and then they schedule something

925
00:43:16,893 --> 00:43:18,012
Speaker 3: with their family. Right.

926
00:43:18,133 --> 00:43:20,052
Speaker 1: First of all, again, those two teams play each other

927
00:43:20,093 --> 00:43:23,172
Speaker 1: every week, so on the Thursday night with that, you go, okay,

928
00:43:23,212 --> 00:43:25,412
Speaker 1: Al Kirk, I'm gonna let you all have this one

929
00:43:25,413 --> 00:43:25,933
Speaker 1: to yourself.

930
00:43:26,372 --> 00:43:28,652
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even a good game until the Cardinals

931
00:43:28,933 --> 00:43:31,133
Speaker 2: scored late to come back. I mean, if you were

932
00:43:31,292 --> 00:43:34,293
Speaker 2: seriously sitting down and watching that, you know it's twenty

933
00:43:34,292 --> 00:43:36,533
Speaker 2: to six in the fourth quarter. It even looked like

934
00:43:36,533 --> 00:43:38,372
Speaker 2: they'd be a game, but a unique ending where I

935
00:43:38,372 --> 00:43:40,613
Speaker 2: think it's the first time we have really seen the

936
00:43:40,652 --> 00:43:43,613
Speaker 2: new kickoff rule have an impact the way it has.

937
00:43:43,652 --> 00:43:46,133
Speaker 2: I know Cardinals fans are upset, but I'm good with you.

938
00:43:46,172 --> 00:43:47,373
Speaker 2: Get you a kicker that can put.

939
00:43:47,212 --> 00:43:47,573
Speaker 3: It in there.

940
00:43:47,573 --> 00:43:49,852
Speaker 2: I mean, the rules are the rules. If you can't

941
00:43:49,933 --> 00:43:51,933
Speaker 2: kick into twenty yards, I don't go find a better kicker.

942
00:43:52,893 --> 00:43:54,453
Speaker 3: Let's go to the four o'clock games. We're going to

943
00:43:54,493 --> 00:43:55,453
Speaker 3: bring in our guy, Billy.

944
00:43:55,533 --> 00:43:59,613
Speaker 1: He is known as Mister four o'clock, and he's going

945
00:43:59,692 --> 00:44:01,972
Speaker 1: to give us the update on these because a lot

946
00:44:01,973 --> 00:44:04,612
Speaker 1: of them were kind of going on when we.

947
00:44:04,533 --> 00:44:06,892
Speaker 3: Started recording podcast.

948
00:44:07,013 --> 00:44:09,493
Speaker 1: So I guess we'll start with the Rams and the

949
00:44:09,533 --> 00:44:11,332
Speaker 1: Colts because I do think well, I guess start with

950
00:44:11,372 --> 00:44:12,213
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Ravens.

951
00:44:12,212 --> 00:44:16,133
Speaker 4: That's the big story. Chiefs absolute domination. Billy, right, that's right,

952
00:44:16,212 --> 00:44:19,093
Speaker 4: thirty seven to twenty. Kansas City gets their second win

953
00:44:19,172 --> 00:44:21,332
Speaker 4: of the year. Meanwhile, Baltimore drops to one and three

954
00:44:21,453 --> 00:44:24,372
Speaker 4: on the season. Lamar Jackson pulled out of the game

955
00:44:24,493 --> 00:44:26,892
Speaker 4: in the third quarter due to a hamstring injury. We

956
00:44:26,933 --> 00:44:30,772
Speaker 4: saw Cooper rush for a short time, but Patrick Mahomes

957
00:44:31,133 --> 00:44:34,053
Speaker 4: was dealing back to his old self. Four touchdowns, two

958
00:44:34,172 --> 00:44:37,133
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy yards. A great showing from one of.

959
00:44:37,093 --> 00:44:37,852
Speaker 3: The best of all time.

960
00:44:38,413 --> 00:44:42,052
Speaker 1: That looked like the Chiefs team of the last few years,

961
00:44:42,212 --> 00:44:44,933
Speaker 1: really of the years before last year, because their offense

962
00:44:45,013 --> 00:44:48,933
Speaker 1: wasn't great last year, but that and that they looked amazing.

963
00:44:48,973 --> 00:44:51,093
Speaker 1: They were dealing like hitting on all cylinders, and you

964
00:44:51,133 --> 00:44:52,892
Speaker 1: know they get a lot, they get recipt rise back

965
00:44:52,933 --> 00:44:57,012
Speaker 1: next week. So now all of a sudden you can

966
00:44:57,053 --> 00:44:59,172
Speaker 1: start to see a Chiefs team that can be a contender.

967
00:44:59,292 --> 00:45:01,652
Speaker 1: Now the Ravens, on the other hand, one in three

968
00:45:01,772 --> 00:45:04,252
Speaker 1: and their defense can't stop anybody. I mean, it's a

969
00:45:04,332 --> 00:45:06,772
Speaker 1: it's a real strange thing for people of our age.

970
00:45:06,852 --> 00:45:08,932
Speaker 1: Drew who grew up with the Ravens having a good

971
00:45:08,933 --> 00:45:12,213
Speaker 1: defense every single year no matter what, and their defense

972
00:45:12,252 --> 00:45:13,333
Speaker 1: this year is just awful.

973
00:45:13,893 --> 00:45:17,212
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marlon Humphrey gots one of the better defensive backs

974
00:45:17,212 --> 00:45:20,613
Speaker 2: in the league. He got torched by Xavier Worthy, who

975
00:45:20,652 --> 00:45:23,412
Speaker 2: came back this week from being injured early in the game.

976
00:45:23,652 --> 00:45:26,972
Speaker 2: It's also weird the Ravens, like Derreck Henry only ran

977
00:45:27,053 --> 00:45:29,452
Speaker 2: the ball eight times, including there was a fourth and

978
00:45:29,493 --> 00:45:31,252
Speaker 2: one where they didn't use him. It's almost like the

979
00:45:31,332 --> 00:45:34,572
Speaker 2: Ravens are doing a load management day early this early

980
00:45:34,613 --> 00:45:36,093
Speaker 2: in the season on Henry, even though they were one

981
00:45:36,093 --> 00:45:37,692
Speaker 2: in three people a good day to do it at

982
00:45:37,692 --> 00:45:39,692
Speaker 2: all about it, But like, why do you not Dereck

983
00:45:39,772 --> 00:45:43,812
Speaker 2: Henry eight rushes forty yards? I mean, I know you're

984
00:45:43,812 --> 00:45:45,573
Speaker 2: down most of the game, but it's Dereck Henry. Give

985
00:45:45,613 --> 00:45:47,933
Speaker 2: him the damn ball. So you know, I didn't expect

986
00:45:47,933 --> 00:45:50,973
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush to have thirteen pass attempts. That's Jackson's injury.

987
00:45:50,973 --> 00:45:53,332
Speaker 2: But it just it seemed like the Ravens tapped out

988
00:45:53,332 --> 00:45:54,892
Speaker 2: as that game went on because the Chiefs went up

989
00:45:54,933 --> 00:45:57,172
Speaker 2: early and didn't look back. It was Mahome's first time

990
00:45:57,212 --> 00:45:59,732
Speaker 2: in two years having a game of four touchdown passes.

991
00:46:01,172 --> 00:46:03,693
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was just really surprised by the whole

992
00:46:04,292 --> 00:46:07,212
Speaker 1: by the performance. I picked the Ravens to win, but

993
00:46:07,292 --> 00:46:09,013
Speaker 1: I thought no matter what, it would be one of

994
00:46:09,053 --> 00:46:11,292
Speaker 1: those Ravens Chiefs games that comes down the stretch. But

995
00:46:11,332 --> 00:46:15,093
Speaker 1: the Chiefs absolutely dominated. When you see Cooper Rush come in,

996
00:46:15,172 --> 00:46:18,412
Speaker 1: that's not a good sign for whatever team that's happening to.

997
00:46:19,093 --> 00:46:23,013
Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know, two and two Chiefs

998
00:46:23,013 --> 00:46:25,772
Speaker 1: schedule was tough to start the season. They get some

999
00:46:25,812 --> 00:46:27,892
Speaker 1: weeks here coming up. I think after next week where

1000
00:46:27,893 --> 00:46:30,452
Speaker 1: they have smeasier games, we might be looking up here

1001
00:46:30,533 --> 00:46:33,332
Speaker 1: week eleven or twelve and they're eight and three and

1002
00:46:33,372 --> 00:46:36,292
Speaker 1: you're going, oh, there's the Chiefs again.

1003
00:46:36,372 --> 00:46:36,973
Speaker 3: What's next.

1004
00:46:37,133 --> 00:46:39,333
Speaker 4: The Colts lost for the first time this season, twenty

1005
00:46:39,372 --> 00:46:42,212
Speaker 4: seven to twenty to the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams

1006
00:46:42,292 --> 00:46:44,493
Speaker 4: are now three and one on the season. It was

1007
00:46:44,533 --> 00:46:47,493
Speaker 4: a back and forth game. A big moment when the

1008
00:46:47,533 --> 00:46:50,573
Speaker 4: Colts receiver ad Mitchell dropped the ball before he went

1009
00:46:50,613 --> 00:46:52,732
Speaker 4: across the goal line. That could have made a big

1010
00:46:52,732 --> 00:46:55,172
Speaker 4: difference in this game. But the Colts vers out. How

1011
00:46:55,172 --> 00:46:59,533
Speaker 4: do people still do this? I mean unbelievable, this happens,

1012
00:47:00,013 --> 00:47:05,452
Speaker 4: This happens once a season, and it is crazy to me,

1013
00:47:05,573 --> 00:47:09,373
Speaker 4: Drew that they still do this after all these years.

1014
00:47:10,212 --> 00:47:13,652
Speaker 4: I don't even understand how It's an issue like run

1015
00:47:13,692 --> 00:47:15,772
Speaker 4: to the back of the end zone before you do it.

1016
00:47:15,772 --> 00:47:17,372
Speaker 4: It just makes no sense to me.

1017
00:47:17,772 --> 00:47:20,053
Speaker 2: And I really think it changed the could be the

1018
00:47:20,172 --> 00:47:23,413
Speaker 2: entire outcome of this game. The Colts were down thirteen

1019
00:47:23,413 --> 00:47:25,773
Speaker 2: to ten and Daniel Jones hits them for a seventy

1020
00:47:25,812 --> 00:47:28,772
Speaker 2: five yard pass. It was an amazing run after the catch.

1021
00:47:28,772 --> 00:47:31,133
Speaker 2: He broke tackles, gets all the way down to the

1022
00:47:31,172 --> 00:47:33,252
Speaker 2: two yard line and once with one hand to stick

1023
00:47:33,292 --> 00:47:35,372
Speaker 2: the ball out and then it just loses. It goes

1024
00:47:35,413 --> 00:47:37,252
Speaker 2: out for the touch back. It's like, can you not

1025
00:47:37,573 --> 00:47:41,413
Speaker 2: wait two more yards to celebrate? You fought so hard

1026
00:47:41,413 --> 00:47:43,093
Speaker 2: to get there, You're about to go up on the

1027
00:47:43,212 --> 00:47:46,093
Speaker 2: Rams in LA and you cannot hold onto the football for.

1028
00:47:46,013 --> 00:47:47,492
Speaker 3: Another say, it would have been a heck of a win.

1029
00:47:47,613 --> 00:47:50,493
Speaker 1: Now, I do think, even though put that aside, I

1030
00:47:50,493 --> 00:47:52,613
Speaker 1: do think the Colts show you so a lot in this.

1031
00:47:52,692 --> 00:47:54,573
Speaker 1: I mean, they're three and oho. There was a sense

1032
00:47:54,573 --> 00:47:56,732
Speaker 1: that you could go, well, you know, they didn't really

1033
00:47:56,732 --> 00:47:59,093
Speaker 1: beat anybody and whatever, and now you know, I mean

1034
00:47:59,613 --> 00:48:02,093
Speaker 1: to go on, have a road game again. They probably

1035
00:48:02,133 --> 00:48:07,893
Speaker 1: should have won the Rams. They're still my sleeper Super

1036
00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:12,092
Speaker 1: Bowl contender. Still love them. Poka Nakua had a couple

1037
00:48:12,133 --> 00:48:14,372
Speaker 1: of big catches. You had the two two at well,

1038
00:48:14,493 --> 00:48:18,172
Speaker 1: so it showed some explosiveness. I still think they're very dangerous.

1039
00:48:18,172 --> 00:48:19,573
Speaker 1: But for me, the story of the game is the

1040
00:48:19,613 --> 00:48:24,452
Speaker 1: Colts and dropping the football, which there would you cut

1041
00:48:24,453 --> 00:48:25,852
Speaker 1: a guy if he drops him mess?

1042
00:48:26,013 --> 00:48:28,172
Speaker 3: How bad do you have to be before you cut them?

1043
00:48:28,493 --> 00:48:30,932
Speaker 2: I can't believe that there's so many examples of this

1044
00:48:31,013 --> 00:48:35,452
Speaker 2: happening every every season. This would should be absolutely humiliating

1045
00:48:35,493 --> 00:48:38,012
Speaker 2: seeing at one time if I'm you know, I would

1046
00:48:38,053 --> 00:48:40,332
Speaker 2: never be in their position because I'm not talented enough.

1047
00:48:40,453 --> 00:48:42,613
Speaker 2: But if I am that close to scoring a touchdown,

1048
00:48:42,812 --> 00:48:44,973
Speaker 2: I'm confident I can hold onto the ball in the

1049
00:48:45,013 --> 00:48:47,852
Speaker 2: bread backet hold on for another half second, and then

1050
00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:50,893
Speaker 2: I'll do my big celebration. But it's just so costly

1051
00:48:50,933 --> 00:48:53,652
Speaker 2: being down three. There would have been an explosive play

1052
00:48:53,692 --> 00:48:56,092
Speaker 2: to go up on the Rams and completely flip the game,

1053
00:48:56,212 --> 00:48:58,413
Speaker 2: even though it was just the first half. And Daniel

1054
00:48:58,493 --> 00:49:01,652
Speaker 2: Jones he has two interceptions, one of them was kind

1055
00:49:01,692 --> 00:49:04,332
Speaker 2: of late throwing it up at the end. It was

1056
00:49:04,332 --> 00:49:05,852
Speaker 2: his first pick of the year earlier in the game.

1057
00:49:05,893 --> 00:49:08,572
Speaker 2: But I still think Dana Jones might be for real

1058
00:49:08,652 --> 00:49:09,612
Speaker 2: even though this is a loss.

1059
00:49:09,652 --> 00:49:11,933
Speaker 3: He looked, god on, he's a comeback player. He's comeback

1060
00:49:11,933 --> 00:49:13,533
Speaker 3: player of the year so far for sure.

1061
00:49:13,732 --> 00:49:16,173
Speaker 1: And this was the first time they had to punt,

1062
00:49:16,292 --> 00:49:20,012
Speaker 1: so you know that streak ends.

1063
00:49:20,013 --> 00:49:20,573
Speaker 3: What's next?

1064
00:49:21,372 --> 00:49:23,772
Speaker 4: Jaguars and the forty nine ers played in the four

1065
00:49:23,852 --> 00:49:29,412
Speaker 4: tack the Jaguars. The Jack Jacksonville Jags is what we'll

1066
00:49:29,413 --> 00:49:30,012
Speaker 4: call him here.

1067
00:49:30,172 --> 00:49:35,412
Speaker 1: First, you said jaguars. I don't think I've ever that's

1068
00:49:35,453 --> 00:49:37,692
Speaker 1: what That's what he said, Drew. Did he not say jaguars?

1069
00:49:37,732 --> 00:49:38,093
Speaker 3: Catch it?

1070
00:49:38,133 --> 00:49:39,133
Speaker 2: I know this is a lot.

1071
00:49:41,252 --> 00:49:44,972
Speaker 1: I want you to hit the rewind fifteen seconds.

1072
00:49:45,573 --> 00:49:49,372
Speaker 3: I say jaguars, which is not what most people say. Drew,

1073
00:49:49,413 --> 00:49:49,852
Speaker 3: How do you.

1074
00:49:49,852 --> 00:49:52,172
Speaker 2: Say it, Jacksonville Jaguars?

1075
00:49:52,533 --> 00:49:54,892
Speaker 3: How did I say that jaguar? You say it like me,

1076
00:49:55,133 --> 00:49:56,773
Speaker 3: I've never heard jaguars.

1077
00:49:58,093 --> 00:50:00,292
Speaker 4: Well, regardless, they got the win today, twenty six to

1078
00:50:00,332 --> 00:50:01,252
Speaker 4: twenty one.

1079
00:50:01,533 --> 00:50:03,972
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Actually, I've probably said that a few time.

1080
00:50:03,973 --> 00:50:06,053
Speaker 2: It's like the Kentucky version. It's got a little twang

1081
00:50:06,292 --> 00:50:07,412
Speaker 2: it Jaguars.

1082
00:50:07,453 --> 00:50:10,812
Speaker 7: Oh, it's like Jacksonville Jaguars. Actually, I probably said it

1083
00:50:10,852 --> 00:50:15,932
Speaker 7: that way several toughs too. Jack War Jaguar Jaguars. All right,

1084
00:50:15,973 --> 00:50:17,453
Speaker 7: I like, if go ahead, tell me what happened with

1085
00:50:17,493 --> 00:50:18,013
Speaker 7: him Jaguar.

1086
00:50:18,292 --> 00:50:21,772
Speaker 4: Regardless, the Jags had a big punt return touchdown. They

1087
00:50:21,772 --> 00:50:24,772
Speaker 4: were up seventeen to six at half. I mean, San

1088
00:50:24,772 --> 00:50:27,652
Speaker 4: Francisco can't stay healthy. Pearsall was in the medical tent.

1089
00:50:27,772 --> 00:50:29,933
Speaker 4: Juwon Jennings got hurt at one point. You know, perty's

1090
00:50:29,933 --> 00:50:32,533
Speaker 4: thrown to himself out there. But San Francisco did have

1091
00:50:32,692 --> 00:50:35,732
Speaker 4: four turnovers in the game. Jacksonville had a sack force

1092
00:50:35,772 --> 00:50:37,812
Speaker 4: fumble at the end to pull it out twenty six

1093
00:50:37,852 --> 00:50:38,452
Speaker 4: to twenty one.

1094
00:50:39,332 --> 00:50:41,812
Speaker 1: Do you think injuries are luck or when a team

1095
00:50:41,893 --> 00:50:46,652
Speaker 1: has two straight years of insane injury situations on the

1096
00:50:46,652 --> 00:50:48,973
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, is there some point where you start

1097
00:50:49,013 --> 00:50:51,733
Speaker 1: to go there's gotta be some commonality here.

1098
00:50:52,093 --> 00:50:54,572
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm with you on that one. It's it's been

1099
00:50:54,692 --> 00:50:58,093
Speaker 2: too many. It's been a lot of like playmaking receivers. Also,

1100
00:50:58,212 --> 00:51:01,372
Speaker 2: their whole receiver room has been injured this season. It's

1101
00:51:01,453 --> 00:51:04,012
Speaker 2: just last year they were like the most injured team ever.

1102
00:51:04,413 --> 00:51:06,412
Speaker 2: This year were four weeks in and they're out to

1103
00:51:06,413 --> 00:51:09,053
Speaker 2: be the most injured team ever. Again, that can't be coincidence.

1104
00:51:09,732 --> 00:51:13,332
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about Jacksonville because I am in on Jacksonville.

1105
00:51:13,372 --> 00:51:16,452
Speaker 3: I was in on them from the beginning of the season. Uh.

1106
00:51:16,852 --> 00:51:19,412
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen, who was at Kentucky, I think is a

1107
00:51:19,453 --> 00:51:22,613
Speaker 1: good offensive mine. Trevor Lawrence starting to show why he

1108
00:51:22,692 --> 00:51:25,093
Speaker 1: was a top pick. Their defense was actually has been

1109
00:51:25,133 --> 00:51:27,252
Speaker 1: good for the last couple of years. They got a

1110
00:51:27,292 --> 00:51:30,332
Speaker 1: lot of guys who can make plays. I think they're

1111
00:51:30,332 --> 00:51:33,692
Speaker 1: gonna win that division. I mean, I think you're in

1112
00:51:33,772 --> 00:51:34,652
Speaker 1: on them too, aren't you.

1113
00:51:35,613 --> 00:51:37,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that division is terrible, which will actually

1114
00:51:38,013 --> 00:51:39,732
Speaker 2: help their record because they're gonna get a lot of

1115
00:51:39,732 --> 00:51:42,252
Speaker 2: wins just having to play the Titans Texans.

1116
00:51:42,292 --> 00:51:46,092
Speaker 3: But this is a good wine. I think they're with

1117
00:51:46,093 --> 00:51:46,732
Speaker 3: with party.

1118
00:51:46,812 --> 00:51:48,573
Speaker 2: I don't I don't see them making any kind of

1119
00:51:48,573 --> 00:51:51,013
Speaker 2: playoff run. But even if they were in another division,

1120
00:51:51,053 --> 00:51:53,812
Speaker 2: I see them competing for a playoff bid because I

1121
00:51:53,812 --> 00:51:55,613
Speaker 2: think they are a competitive team. And we'll keep seeing

1122
00:51:55,652 --> 00:51:59,252
Speaker 2: him in games like this in Travis Hunter. We've kind

1123
00:51:59,252 --> 00:52:01,212
Speaker 2: of wondered what he'll be. He looks great as a

1124
00:52:01,252 --> 00:52:04,412
Speaker 2: receiver today. There was a throw where Lawrence was, you know,

1125
00:52:04,533 --> 00:52:06,772
Speaker 2: backed up into their own end zone. He throws at

1126
00:52:06,772 --> 00:52:08,292
Speaker 2: thirty yards down in the middle of the field, and

1127
00:52:08,372 --> 00:52:10,533
Speaker 2: Hunter really stretched out and got it. So he and

1128
00:52:10,812 --> 00:52:13,332
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Jr. Are looking like some weapons for them too.

1129
00:52:14,053 --> 00:52:18,292
Speaker 1: The owner of the Jaguars said, or as some people say, jaguars.

1130
00:52:18,613 --> 00:52:21,173
Speaker 1: The owner of the Jaguars said, after the first game,

1131
00:52:21,453 --> 00:52:23,612
Speaker 1: we now win forever and.

1132
00:52:23,573 --> 00:52:26,692
Speaker 3: He's so far as correct three and one and.

1133
00:52:26,613 --> 00:52:30,452
Speaker 1: They're going to win forever in Jacksonville and then just

1134
00:52:30,692 --> 00:52:35,013
Speaker 1: ending my Bears block a kick at the end to

1135
00:52:35,172 --> 00:52:39,133
Speaker 1: win in Las Vegas. Massive win I've been the last

1136
00:52:39,133 --> 00:52:42,133
Speaker 1: few years. The Bears have lost that game every way possible.

1137
00:52:42,413 --> 00:52:44,612
Speaker 1: They block a kick drew in a way that I've

1138
00:52:44,652 --> 00:52:48,013
Speaker 1: often wondered why more people don't do. They blocked it

1139
00:52:48,053 --> 00:52:50,372
Speaker 1: from the edge. If you go look at how the

1140
00:52:50,413 --> 00:52:52,812
Speaker 1: guy lined up. He was lined up way to the

1141
00:52:52,893 --> 00:52:55,452
Speaker 1: outside and he just got a head of steam and

1142
00:52:55,493 --> 00:52:56,012
Speaker 1: blocked it.

1143
00:52:55,973 --> 00:52:58,932
Speaker 3: Before really he could be touched. I've always thought that

1144
00:52:59,053 --> 00:53:00,732
Speaker 3: was a way you could get more block kicks, and

1145
00:53:00,812 --> 00:53:02,452
Speaker 3: it worked, and he blocked it by a lot, I

1146
00:53:02,493 --> 00:53:05,453
Speaker 3: mean he almost flew past the ball.

1147
00:53:05,812 --> 00:53:08,812
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's good for the Bears, But also, what's

1148
00:53:08,893 --> 00:53:11,013
Speaker 2: up with these games the last two weeks, So all

1149
00:53:11,053 --> 00:53:13,332
Speaker 2: these block field goals. I know you're mentioning they had

1150
00:53:13,372 --> 00:53:16,692
Speaker 2: that tactic, but we're blocking field goals in every which way.

1151
00:53:16,732 --> 00:53:18,732
Speaker 2: There were three or four a week ago and then

1152
00:53:18,772 --> 00:53:21,012
Speaker 2: here in this second half round of afternoon games.

1153
00:53:21,053 --> 00:53:22,853
Speaker 3: I mean, that might be the play question.

1154
00:53:23,772 --> 00:53:26,493
Speaker 1: It's a good question. You've seen more block field goals.

1155
00:53:27,013 --> 00:53:29,252
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of block punts. I don't

1156
00:53:29,252 --> 00:53:32,533
Speaker 1: know what the record is, but anecdotally, it does feel

1157
00:53:32,533 --> 00:53:34,292
Speaker 1: like there are a lot more blocks, and a lot

1158
00:53:34,292 --> 00:53:36,772
Speaker 1: more blocks that are like significant, not just tipping it,

1159
00:53:37,093 --> 00:53:40,013
Speaker 1: but like blocking it. In the case last week, returning

1160
00:53:40,053 --> 00:53:43,212
Speaker 1: it the Bears block was a like, you know, not

1161
00:53:43,652 --> 00:53:47,492
Speaker 1: blocked it completely. I do wonder if something happened during

1162
00:53:47,493 --> 00:53:50,412
Speaker 1: the off season with special teams that they figured out

1163
00:53:50,453 --> 00:53:54,053
Speaker 1: ways to get you know, creative blitzes. But you're I know,

1164
00:53:54,133 --> 00:53:55,772
Speaker 1: we're seeing more of it this year than we have

1165
00:53:55,852 --> 00:53:56,333
Speaker 1: in the past.

1166
00:53:56,372 --> 00:53:59,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, these these two weeks have been wild lately, I guess,

1167
00:53:59,172 --> 00:54:01,253
Speaker 2: so they'll keep up to whatever is behind the trend.

1168
00:54:01,453 --> 00:54:03,332
Speaker 2: But the question is are you are you behind your

1169
00:54:03,372 --> 00:54:05,292
Speaker 2: trend of now? Was this two wins in a row?

1170
00:54:05,533 --> 00:54:06,133
Speaker 2: Are you talking?

1171
00:54:06,252 --> 00:54:09,893
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm in on the Bears being improved.

1172
00:54:09,933 --> 00:54:14,292
Speaker 1: I don't know how for me this year for the

1173
00:54:14,372 --> 00:54:19,573
Speaker 1: Bears was One thing, is Caleb Williams an NFL you

1174
00:54:19,692 --> 00:54:23,452
Speaker 1: can win with starting quarterback? And I'm not ready to

1175
00:54:23,453 --> 00:54:26,452
Speaker 1: say yes yet, but I'm getting closer. I thought he

1176
00:54:26,533 --> 00:54:29,532
Speaker 1: was great today. They should have scored more than they did.

1177
00:54:29,573 --> 00:54:31,013
Speaker 1: I mean, they got stopped in the red zone a

1178
00:54:31,053 --> 00:54:34,532
Speaker 1: few times, ended up with field goals. But he made

1179
00:54:34,573 --> 00:54:37,292
Speaker 1: a lot of really good decisions. I think you can

1180
00:54:37,332 --> 00:54:40,172
Speaker 1: see the effect Ben Johnson's hat on him. He does

1181
00:54:40,332 --> 00:54:43,412
Speaker 1: He's so good at sort of sensing pressure. Now, all

1182
00:54:43,413 --> 00:54:46,373
Speaker 1: these hits he took last year, he's not taken this year.

1183
00:54:46,852 --> 00:54:49,652
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you know, I don't.

1184
00:54:51,292 --> 00:54:55,133
Speaker 3: Maybe they make the playoffs, but I'm actually coming into yes,

1185
00:54:55,292 --> 00:54:58,853
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams can be good in the NFL.

1186
00:54:58,493 --> 00:55:01,453
Speaker 2: And he's got good pieces around him. Romadunza had a

1187
00:55:01,493 --> 00:55:04,012
Speaker 2: big game. I've mentioned many times I'm a big Luther

1188
00:55:04,093 --> 00:55:07,053
Speaker 2: Burden fan. So if Williams does pad out, you've got

1189
00:55:07,093 --> 00:55:09,732
Speaker 2: a good offensive coach already. H you call it could

1190
00:55:09,772 --> 00:55:11,533
Speaker 2: be being a really fun team moving forward.

1191
00:55:11,852 --> 00:55:14,692
Speaker 1: What I mean, you could end up with a scenario

1192
00:55:14,772 --> 00:55:19,933
Speaker 1: where that draft class two years ago at quarterback is historic.

1193
00:55:20,172 --> 00:55:23,012
Speaker 1: I mean, Jade and Daniels we know is good bo Nicks,

1194
00:55:23,053 --> 00:55:25,973
Speaker 1: I keep waiting to fail, but he's been good. Drake

1195
00:55:26,053 --> 00:55:28,412
Speaker 1: May has been much improved in the last week or two,

1196
00:55:29,013 --> 00:55:30,172
Speaker 1: and then uh, you.

1197
00:55:30,212 --> 00:55:30,613
Speaker 3: Know, J. J.

1198
00:55:30,732 --> 00:55:33,332
Speaker 1: McCarthy has had at least one very good game, even

1199
00:55:33,372 --> 00:55:34,453
Speaker 1: though this is really.

1200
00:55:34,212 --> 00:55:35,293
Speaker 3: His first season playing.

1201
00:55:35,573 --> 00:55:38,212
Speaker 1: If you throw Caleb into mix, you know, you get

1202
00:55:38,372 --> 00:55:42,652
Speaker 1: five and then Michael pennockx Jenior. Yeah, I mean you

1203
00:55:42,732 --> 00:55:45,332
Speaker 1: get six guys. I mean, let's just assume one or

1204
00:55:45,372 --> 00:55:47,292
Speaker 1: two of them don't pan out. You get four really

1205
00:55:47,332 --> 00:55:50,852
Speaker 1: good starters out of a college recruiting class. That's pretty impressive,

1206
00:55:50,933 --> 00:55:53,212
Speaker 1: especially since no offense to k Warden, you might not

1207
00:55:53,252 --> 00:55:54,493
Speaker 1: get one out of this one.

1208
00:55:54,933 --> 00:55:57,292
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that whole draft class could be the

1209
00:55:57,413 --> 00:55:59,292
Speaker 2: whole future with all those guys you named. And then,

1210
00:55:59,292 --> 00:56:01,852
Speaker 2: of course, you know, Spencer Ratler might be oh and

1211
00:56:01,933 --> 00:56:04,412
Speaker 2: ten right now, but as early in the show, don't

1212
00:56:04,453 --> 00:56:07,172
Speaker 2: give up on Spencer Ratler yet. He could that group too.

1213
00:56:08,573 --> 00:56:14,493
Speaker 3: Well. I don't know, we'll see maybe, but but nevertheless,

1214
00:56:14,732 --> 00:56:17,933
Speaker 3: I'm I'm positive on Caleb. So that's a good side.

1215
00:56:17,933 --> 00:56:20,692
Speaker 1: Now, the next time you hear from me, I will

1216
00:56:20,692 --> 00:56:23,572
Speaker 1: be back in Kentucky. We'll be doing a show again
