1
00:00:05,046 --> 00:00:08,046
Speaker 1: And Huddle is a production of the NFL and partnership

2
00:00:08,086 --> 00:00:23,326
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio, I Do Ego Pilot Comigo MJ is just

3
00:00:23,446 --> 00:00:27,846
Speaker 1: in my head. On my son's baseball team. On my

4
00:00:27,886 --> 00:00:32,686
Speaker 1: son's baseball team, they all have walk up songs and

5
00:00:32,806 --> 00:00:35,966
Speaker 1: this one particular team has that song, and so that's

6
00:00:36,046 --> 00:00:38,206
Speaker 1: phenomenal about to come up. It's like doo doo doo

7
00:00:38,406 --> 00:00:43,366
Speaker 1: do comes on. So yeah, it's so good. So it's

8
00:00:43,486 --> 00:00:47,806
Speaker 1: my dead. We hope that you support L Huddle. For

9
00:00:48,286 --> 00:00:50,286
Speaker 1: you that are listening to us right now, this is

10
00:00:50,406 --> 00:00:59,326
Speaker 1: l Huddle. We'll solve alongside Meprima, Mermanaprima, Erma, Ruise And

11
00:00:59,686 --> 00:01:01,526
Speaker 1: I have to say a lot of people talk to

12
00:01:01,526 --> 00:01:04,526
Speaker 1: me about the NFL, but recently a lot of people

13
00:01:04,526 --> 00:01:07,286
Speaker 1: are me up about the World Cup. I mean even

14
00:01:07,406 --> 00:01:13,846
Speaker 1: teachers at my kids' school, of course, actively watching while

15
00:01:13,886 --> 00:01:19,326
Speaker 1: school is happening and informing our kids there are very

16
00:01:19,326 --> 00:01:21,366
Speaker 1: important lessons to be drawn from the World Cup. So

17
00:01:21,446 --> 00:01:24,326
Speaker 1: I think this is a great life lesson too. Also

18
00:01:24,726 --> 00:01:28,846
Speaker 1: very hard to put together a TV show like we

19
00:01:28,926 --> 00:01:32,526
Speaker 1: do until Access while not only is the World Cup happening,

20
00:01:32,566 --> 00:01:35,286
Speaker 1: but USA is playing, which was the case earlier. This

21
00:01:35,406 --> 00:01:37,686
Speaker 1: week for us. We were trying our best to get

22
00:01:37,686 --> 00:01:42,446
Speaker 1: this rundown together to have our our TA meeting, and

23
00:01:42,646 --> 00:01:45,246
Speaker 1: everybody was just distracted. Couldn't you blame us? I mean,

24
00:01:45,286 --> 00:01:49,326
Speaker 1: it was such a huge victory, a moment of reverence

25
00:01:49,486 --> 00:01:52,366
Speaker 1: for Team USA, the US men's national team. It was awesome.

26
00:01:52,766 --> 00:01:56,246
Speaker 1: Everybody was locked in over at the NFL studios and

27
00:01:56,286 --> 00:02:00,006
Speaker 1: the offices here in Inglewood. It was a really cool moment, honestly,

28
00:02:00,086 --> 00:02:04,726
Speaker 1: because for most of us, game days our work days, right,

29
00:02:04,846 --> 00:02:07,166
Speaker 1: so we're while we're enjoying the game, everybody's sort of

30
00:02:07,166 --> 00:02:09,406
Speaker 1: in their own silo doing everything, but all of us

31
00:02:09,406 --> 00:02:12,206
Speaker 1: collectively were at work. But we got to sort of

32
00:02:12,286 --> 00:02:16,046
Speaker 1: lean in as fans as well of this other sport.

33
00:02:16,926 --> 00:02:19,246
Speaker 1: It was kind of fun to see that and to

34
00:02:19,326 --> 00:02:22,446
Speaker 1: see everybody really lock in and you could hear like cheers,

35
00:02:22,486 --> 00:02:24,366
Speaker 1: like we're in our meeting room and all of a

36
00:02:24,406 --> 00:02:27,126
Speaker 1: sudden we hear and it was when Policit got the goal,

37
00:02:27,126 --> 00:02:29,326
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my god, Okay, so everybody got

38
00:02:29,366 --> 00:02:32,046
Speaker 1: that deep blocks. Looks good. Great, Let's get out there

39
00:02:32,046 --> 00:02:33,886
Speaker 1: and try and watch the rest of the game a

40
00:02:33,926 --> 00:02:36,526
Speaker 1: little bit. So don't tell our bosses, although I guess

41
00:02:36,526 --> 00:02:39,646
Speaker 1: they'll know now that we were sort of multitasking is

42
00:02:39,646 --> 00:02:42,726
Speaker 1: what it's called. Honestly, it was quite efficient. It's it's

43
00:02:42,766 --> 00:02:45,846
Speaker 1: been real cool to see some of the big stars

44
00:02:46,006 --> 00:02:49,406
Speaker 1: really show up and show out on the world's biggest stage.

45
00:02:49,846 --> 00:02:55,366
Speaker 1: Ronaldo Messi, Lewandowski, and this looks like it'll be the

46
00:02:55,406 --> 00:02:59,286
Speaker 1: final time that we see these players in a World

47
00:02:59,286 --> 00:03:01,966
Speaker 1: Cup setting, So for me, I've been excited. It also

48
00:03:02,046 --> 00:03:06,806
Speaker 1: brings back memories of Andres Kantor and growing up listening

49
00:03:06,846 --> 00:03:10,286
Speaker 1: to him, my parents loving him, and I do think

50
00:03:10,446 --> 00:03:14,606
Speaker 1: he's the best influence a whole generation of broadcasters in

51
00:03:14,686 --> 00:03:18,686
Speaker 1: Spanish that's carried over into the NFL. Whenever we play

52
00:03:18,726 --> 00:03:22,726
Speaker 1: any of those Spanish calls, people go nuts, people go crazy,

53
00:03:22,926 --> 00:03:26,646
Speaker 1: and you love that enthusiasm. And I feel like Andreas

54
00:03:26,726 --> 00:03:30,726
Speaker 1: Kantor like he was the one that started it. He

55
00:03:30,926 --> 00:03:37,366
Speaker 1: was the Chris Berman for all sports broadcasters want to

56
00:03:37,366 --> 00:03:40,006
Speaker 1: get into the business. And I think it's total go

57
00:03:40,406 --> 00:03:43,526
Speaker 1: yeah for sure. Still winning Emmy's, by the way, Sports

58
00:03:43,566 --> 00:03:47,686
Speaker 1: Emmy's to the day, right, No, not shocking at all,

59
00:03:47,686 --> 00:03:50,486
Speaker 1: just wrapping them up. It's the way. It was such

60
00:03:50,526 --> 00:03:53,046
Speaker 1: a beautiful moment when Team USA one, but then total

61
00:03:53,126 --> 00:03:58,326
Speaker 1: heartbreak for three bands. Man, I've my heart hurt. We

62
00:03:58,326 --> 00:04:02,766
Speaker 1: were all collectively just watching it with bated breath, and

63
00:04:03,606 --> 00:04:06,646
Speaker 1: you know, the second um that Sardi Riva hit the

64
00:04:06,726 --> 00:04:08,566
Speaker 1: other goal, we were like, well that's it. We were

65
00:04:08,566 --> 00:04:10,326
Speaker 1: trying to do World Cup math, which, as you know,

66
00:04:11,006 --> 00:04:14,166
Speaker 1: similar to our NFL playoff math, Like, okay, what is

67
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:16,886
Speaker 1: the scenario? Who has to lose? Except that we don't

68
00:04:16,886 --> 00:04:19,846
Speaker 1: have goal differentials or aggregate scores or anything like that.

69
00:04:20,086 --> 00:04:22,406
Speaker 1: So I was like, y'all tell me when the scenario

70
00:04:22,606 --> 00:04:25,606
Speaker 1: is not looking good. But you knew instantly you could

71
00:04:25,646 --> 00:04:28,166
Speaker 1: see the crowd. It was so funny because earlier this

72
00:04:28,246 --> 00:04:30,686
Speaker 1: year I got I got to participate in. This is

73
00:04:30,686 --> 00:04:32,446
Speaker 1: the second year I've done it. We took a little

74
00:04:32,446 --> 00:04:35,966
Speaker 1: break for the pandemic was a game recognized game, so

75
00:04:36,046 --> 00:04:41,086
Speaker 1: our inter NFL International Crew, right yes, And it's the

76
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:44,966
Speaker 1: NFL YouTube as well, UM where we take international soccer

77
00:04:45,086 --> 00:04:48,086
Speaker 1: or football stars UM and put them up against NFL

78
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:52,486
Speaker 1: players to do sort of intersport challenges. So I did

79
00:04:52,526 --> 00:04:55,246
Speaker 1: one with Sarginio Desk, who is part of not only

80
00:04:55,486 --> 00:04:59,766
Speaker 1: Barcelona UM but also Team USA. So it was cool

81
00:04:59,806 --> 00:05:01,926
Speaker 1: to see him. I was looking back at videos I

82
00:05:01,966 --> 00:05:04,686
Speaker 1: just reposted it. So we did one with Um Sarginio

83
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:08,446
Speaker 1: and Tuah and a bottle. It was such a cool

84
00:05:08,526 --> 00:05:12,046
Speaker 1: moment and they geek out over each other's sport all

85
00:05:12,086 --> 00:05:14,286
Speaker 1: the time, so I love to see that part of it.

86
00:05:14,326 --> 00:05:17,926
Speaker 1: But it's very very much a respect thing, apt for

87
00:05:17,966 --> 00:05:20,926
Speaker 1: the title game, recognized game, so we love to see

88
00:05:20,966 --> 00:05:23,806
Speaker 1: it more. World Cup to be done. USA plays again.

89
00:05:23,806 --> 00:05:26,206
Speaker 1: Police says he's going to be fine, very excited to

90
00:05:26,246 --> 00:05:28,686
Speaker 1: watch this. I got my kid ready, you know it's

91
00:05:28,686 --> 00:05:30,646
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Well, and it sounds like he can

92
00:05:30,686 --> 00:05:33,246
Speaker 1: have kids, so that's an important thing as well. By

93
00:05:36,526 --> 00:05:40,006
Speaker 1: you know what, really really quick, you mentioned Jalen Waddle.

94
00:05:40,046 --> 00:05:43,486
Speaker 1: There was a player for the French team that was

95
00:05:43,646 --> 00:05:50,046
Speaker 1: doing the wattle. Yeah, hold on, I glazed over the

96
00:05:50,046 --> 00:05:54,566
Speaker 1: biggest part that there is an Acosta on team USA. Yeah, yeah,

97
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:56,046
Speaker 1: come on, I thought you renewed that. I thought you

98
00:05:56,086 --> 00:05:59,246
Speaker 1: were dialed in. I know Kelen Acosta love it. My

99
00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:02,486
Speaker 1: cousin probably not, but I met you. There's something in

100
00:06:02,526 --> 00:06:05,446
Speaker 1: the lineage there, midfielder. So I'm going to look into that.

101
00:06:05,726 --> 00:06:11,486
Speaker 1: Check our ancestry, like, what's up, ba? I think everybody

102
00:06:11,566 --> 00:06:13,446
Speaker 1: is my cousin, but here we are. You know what

103
00:06:13,526 --> 00:06:15,206
Speaker 1: else we have to check or what we have to check?

104
00:06:15,686 --> 00:06:24,526
Speaker 1: The headlines breaking news in oh Week thirteen, bringing us

105
00:06:24,646 --> 00:06:29,126
Speaker 1: a juicy rematch of last year's AFC Championship game between

106
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:33,126
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Bengals. MJ and wide receiver Jamar

107
00:06:33,246 --> 00:06:36,046
Speaker 1: Chase saying the reason he missed the last four games

108
00:06:36,566 --> 00:06:40,926
Speaker 1: is because of a hairline hit fracture. Ouchy. That doesn't

109
00:06:40,966 --> 00:06:43,726
Speaker 1: sound great, no, but he says he doesn't feel any

110
00:06:43,726 --> 00:06:47,086
Speaker 1: pain and he plans to play. Joe Mixon appears to

111
00:06:47,126 --> 00:06:50,886
Speaker 1: be on track to play. So what are your thoughts

112
00:06:50,886 --> 00:06:55,326
Speaker 1: so this matchup? Oh Man? The Bengals just posted to

113
00:06:55,926 --> 00:07:00,286
Speaker 1: not so cryptic. It was definitely calling their shot. They

114
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:03,246
Speaker 1: said the last time, we weren't orange dot dot dot

115
00:07:03,366 --> 00:07:05,206
Speaker 1: to finish the sentence. The last time, and they wore

116
00:07:05,246 --> 00:07:08,526
Speaker 1: those range uniforms. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs in

117
00:07:08,806 --> 00:07:12,126
Speaker 1: that aforementioned game, so they're I mean, the fact that

118
00:07:12,166 --> 00:07:15,846
Speaker 1: they have two of their biggest playmakers back in the

119
00:07:15,926 --> 00:07:19,646
Speaker 1: ross on to start again for this week is huge.

120
00:07:20,006 --> 00:07:22,086
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just think the way that

121
00:07:22,126 --> 00:07:25,766
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have been playing the way that Patrick Mahomes

122
00:07:25,766 --> 00:07:30,086
Speaker 1: has been able to spread the ball around find different guys.

123
00:07:30,446 --> 00:07:32,206
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to be said about that

124
00:07:33,606 --> 00:07:35,486
Speaker 1: this is This is going to be a tight one.

125
00:07:35,526 --> 00:07:36,766
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those that's going to

126
00:07:36,846 --> 00:07:39,806
Speaker 1: come down, if not to the final seconds, maybe even

127
00:07:39,846 --> 00:07:41,966
Speaker 1: into a little ot like we've seen it go before.

128
00:07:43,086 --> 00:07:45,126
Speaker 1: There's just no way that this is the one to

129
00:07:45,166 --> 00:07:47,686
Speaker 1: circle right. This is one of those matchups to circle

130
00:07:47,726 --> 00:07:49,526
Speaker 1: for the weekend. If you can only pick a handful

131
00:07:49,566 --> 00:07:53,406
Speaker 1: of games, make sure that this is one of them.

132
00:07:53,446 --> 00:07:55,166
Speaker 1: I think that Patrick Mahomes is going to come out

133
00:07:55,166 --> 00:07:59,886
Speaker 1: and motivated as well. Oh in two against Burrow, objectively,

134
00:08:00,086 --> 00:08:05,806
Speaker 1: Burro played them just by pure stats alone. Do think though,

135
00:08:05,886 --> 00:08:08,366
Speaker 1: his patience is going to be tested because the last

136
00:08:08,406 --> 00:08:11,886
Speaker 1: time these two teams faced each other, the Bengals dropped

137
00:08:11,926 --> 00:08:15,126
Speaker 1: eight back. So I bet we're going to see a

138
00:08:15,166 --> 00:08:20,566
Speaker 1: lot of Patrick Mahomes scrambles. The way that the Bengals

139
00:08:21,046 --> 00:08:23,806
Speaker 1: adjust at halftime, and we've seen it over the last

140
00:08:23,846 --> 00:08:27,286
Speaker 1: few games, has been terrific. The way that they adjusted

141
00:08:27,326 --> 00:08:30,486
Speaker 1: on offense has also been terrific. They've been a little

142
00:08:30,486 --> 00:08:34,206
Speaker 1: bit more run oriented with Sama J. P Ryan and

143
00:08:34,246 --> 00:08:37,206
Speaker 1: then now with mixing possibly back. That's a big deal.

144
00:08:37,526 --> 00:08:41,246
Speaker 1: You mentioned now having Jamar Chase and te Higgins who

145
00:08:41,486 --> 00:08:46,846
Speaker 1: played like a wide receiver one in Jamar Chase's absence,

146
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:52,006
Speaker 1: and you see Burrow just making great decisions, great ball

147
00:08:52,046 --> 00:08:54,486
Speaker 1: placement out of him. You see him back there surveying

148
00:08:54,526 --> 00:08:56,486
Speaker 1: the field, just waiting for his guys, not you just

149
00:08:56,606 --> 00:08:59,006
Speaker 1: get open, but just holding on the ball a little

150
00:08:59,006 --> 00:09:01,766
Speaker 1: bit longer to get even more open, as we saw

151
00:09:01,806 --> 00:09:04,446
Speaker 1: in that win over the Titans. So right now, I

152
00:09:04,486 --> 00:09:07,806
Speaker 1: think the Bengals are scary, but they've got a really

153
00:09:07,886 --> 00:09:11,526
Speaker 1: tough schedule ahead of themselves, starting with this game, which

154
00:09:11,566 --> 00:09:16,286
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see. Now, you mentioned other games

155
00:09:16,286 --> 00:09:20,886
Speaker 1: from week thirteen that we'll do some circle on our calendar.

156
00:09:21,326 --> 00:09:28,246
Speaker 1: This is the the Selva Costa Ruiz Ball. Here the

157
00:09:28,326 --> 00:09:31,726
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the forty nine Ers. Now head coach Mike

158
00:09:31,806 --> 00:09:36,086
Speaker 1: McDaniels saying left tackle Tron arm Set hasn't been ruled out.

159
00:09:36,286 --> 00:09:40,246
Speaker 1: McDaniel also indicating it feels good that running back where

160
00:09:40,286 --> 00:09:42,766
Speaker 1: him moster will play. And then on the other side

161
00:09:42,806 --> 00:09:47,846
Speaker 1: for the Niners, Christian McCaffrey is dealing with knee irritation,

162
00:09:47,966 --> 00:09:54,926
Speaker 1: but doesn't sound like it's something that should affect him playing. Yeah,

163
00:09:55,006 --> 00:09:58,486
Speaker 1: for sure, there's no scenario. If that's all it is,

164
00:09:58,526 --> 00:10:01,006
Speaker 1: that CMC is not going to be out there. I'm

165
00:10:01,006 --> 00:10:06,806
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I'm I'm shook about this game.

166
00:10:06,966 --> 00:10:09,646
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough one. You you you know

167
00:10:09,686 --> 00:10:13,206
Speaker 1: how I feel about the Niners. But let me be

168
00:10:13,326 --> 00:10:16,726
Speaker 1: very very clear. The Dolphins are my team. Okay, there

169
00:10:16,806 --> 00:10:21,926
Speaker 1: is any confusion, right like this is my hometown team.

170
00:10:21,926 --> 00:10:25,046
Speaker 1: But it's tough because I know this Niners team very

171
00:10:25,126 --> 00:10:28,686
Speaker 1: well and I know what they're capable of. This defense.

172
00:10:29,086 --> 00:10:32,646
Speaker 1: As much as we give the offense, it's well deserved props.

173
00:10:32,766 --> 00:10:36,326
Speaker 1: They have more pieces offensively that can really hurt you,

174
00:10:36,726 --> 00:10:39,726
Speaker 1: I think than most teams in this league. But the

175
00:10:39,886 --> 00:10:49,126
Speaker 1: Niners defense is really really what's scary, man. But we

176
00:10:49,206 --> 00:10:51,126
Speaker 1: got a we got a track team on the other

177
00:10:51,206 --> 00:10:54,526
Speaker 1: side in Miami. Tyree Kella is no joke. Jalen Wattle

178
00:10:54,606 --> 00:10:57,006
Speaker 1: is no joke. The backfield is no joke. A backfield,

179
00:10:57,006 --> 00:11:00,686
Speaker 1: by the way, that knows this defense really, really well.

180
00:11:00,726 --> 00:11:02,326
Speaker 1: You know what. I didn't think it will come down

181
00:11:02,366 --> 00:11:08,086
Speaker 1: to coaching, because Shanni tends to be very good against

182
00:11:08,086 --> 00:11:11,086
Speaker 1: the guys who were formerly on his staff and in

183
00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:15,726
Speaker 1: his house. Ah damn it. Well, don't talk to me.

184
00:11:15,886 --> 00:11:19,086
Speaker 1: Nobody called me, Nobody texts me. When Dolphins and forty

185
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:22,966
Speaker 1: nine ers is on, I'm unavailable. Do not disturb. It's

186
00:11:23,006 --> 00:11:28,846
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a wreck after Yeah, a literally,

187
00:11:29,126 --> 00:11:30,886
Speaker 1: but let us know if we need to send and

188
00:11:31,206 --> 00:11:34,486
Speaker 1: you know, a team to go out there to make

189
00:11:34,526 --> 00:11:37,926
Speaker 1: sure you're okay. You know here from me fifteen minutes

190
00:11:37,966 --> 00:11:43,846
Speaker 1: after triple zeros sending a team that depends on the result. Well,

191
00:11:43,886 --> 00:11:46,286
Speaker 1: so you brought up Shanahan and we talked about Mike

192
00:11:46,406 --> 00:11:49,166
Speaker 1: McDaniel as well. These guys know each other. They have

193
00:11:49,246 --> 00:11:52,846
Speaker 1: been with each other for fourteen seasons when Shanahan was

194
00:11:52,886 --> 00:11:57,326
Speaker 1: in Washington and Atlanta in San Francisco, so there's a

195
00:11:57,326 --> 00:12:00,686
Speaker 1: lot of familiarity there. And I think the edge actually

196
00:12:00,686 --> 00:12:03,926
Speaker 1: goes to McDaniel in my opinion, just because he knows

197
00:12:04,366 --> 00:12:08,606
Speaker 1: what that defense is all about. Now, what you're going

198
00:12:08,646 --> 00:12:11,206
Speaker 1: to get from the Dolphins a lot of motion, a

199
00:12:11,246 --> 00:12:14,126
Speaker 1: lot of ships, and I do think if they are

200
00:12:14,206 --> 00:12:18,206
Speaker 1: without both of their offensive tackles, you're going to see

201
00:12:18,446 --> 00:12:21,086
Speaker 1: a little bit more RPO mixed in. I think you're

202
00:12:21,086 --> 00:12:23,886
Speaker 1: going to see Twa getting rid of that ball fast

203
00:12:23,966 --> 00:12:27,166
Speaker 1: because he knows that Bosa is going to be bearing

204
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:31,326
Speaker 1: down on him. The last time that the forty nine

205
00:12:31,366 --> 00:12:35,926
Speaker 1: ers face and explosive offense was against Kansas City and

206
00:12:36,126 --> 00:12:40,766
Speaker 1: Mahomes and company absolutely house them and the forty nine

207
00:12:40,846 --> 00:12:44,126
Speaker 1: Ers had no answer. So you hope that the forty

208
00:12:44,246 --> 00:12:48,686
Speaker 1: nine defense will have learned from that experience. And yes,

209
00:12:48,806 --> 00:12:52,566
Speaker 1: they've shut out opponents in the second half in four

210
00:12:52,926 --> 00:12:56,846
Speaker 1: straight games. Could they do it? Yeah, But I think

211
00:12:56,846 --> 00:12:58,886
Speaker 1: this is going to be a lot harder when you've

212
00:12:58,926 --> 00:13:04,566
Speaker 1: got Wattle and Tyreek Hill on the outside. Man. Just

213
00:13:04,806 --> 00:13:06,646
Speaker 1: when you think people are getting a little bit tired

214
00:13:07,446 --> 00:13:09,726
Speaker 1: towards the back end of the season, we're looking at

215
00:13:09,766 --> 00:13:12,966
Speaker 1: the playoff pictures a little closer. That doesn't mean there's

216
00:13:13,006 --> 00:13:21,886
Speaker 1: a shortage of Cheeseman. Oh yes, it was me. I

217
00:13:21,886 --> 00:13:24,726
Speaker 1: would not be into this drama. But because we're just

218
00:13:24,846 --> 00:13:27,526
Speaker 1: observers and we get to talk about this, I'm here

219
00:13:27,526 --> 00:13:30,246
Speaker 1: for it will a little bit of cheesco. I'm here

220
00:13:30,246 --> 00:13:32,326
Speaker 1: for a little bit of drama. And let's start things

221
00:13:32,366 --> 00:13:36,086
Speaker 1: off with Hey, Odell Beckham Junior, Nice to see and

222
00:13:36,206 --> 00:13:38,726
Speaker 1: hear from you again. As you kick off a few

223
00:13:38,806 --> 00:13:41,646
Speaker 1: visits a little world tour for O. B. J. I'm

224
00:13:41,686 --> 00:13:47,486
Speaker 1: hearing Giants, Bills, Cowboys. I feel like the team that

225
00:13:47,526 --> 00:13:49,406
Speaker 1: needs him the most might be his former squad. What

226
00:13:49,446 --> 00:13:52,326
Speaker 1: do you think? I just wish that he would be

227
00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:58,766
Speaker 1: in the news cycle more. That's what my hope would be. Listen,

228
00:13:58,926 --> 00:14:01,046
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying about the Giants. They would

229
00:14:01,046 --> 00:14:03,086
Speaker 1: need somebody like him, But I think that the Giants

230
00:14:03,126 --> 00:14:07,206
Speaker 1: need a lot at the injuries have finally taken his

231
00:14:07,326 --> 00:14:10,326
Speaker 1: toll on the team. They've been scuffling of late, and

232
00:14:10,366 --> 00:14:14,686
Speaker 1: their margin of error is so small. I don't think

233
00:14:14,726 --> 00:14:17,566
Speaker 1: that ob J. Well, I think he would make a difference.

234
00:14:17,686 --> 00:14:22,006
Speaker 1: I don't think he is enough to upset some of

235
00:14:22,046 --> 00:14:24,446
Speaker 1: the problems that they have now. He's not trying to

236
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:27,646
Speaker 1: go back to a rebuild situation like we also win now.

237
00:14:27,886 --> 00:14:30,166
Speaker 1: He just got a championship ring with the Ramp last

238
00:14:30,206 --> 00:14:35,126
Speaker 1: year immediately, yes, yes, without a doubt. And then with

239
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:38,046
Speaker 1: the Bills. I know that von Miller has been trying

240
00:14:38,046 --> 00:14:40,966
Speaker 1: to recruit him. That seems to be a good situation

241
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:45,286
Speaker 1: for him. So I can see the Bills m J.

242
00:14:45,486 --> 00:14:49,526
Speaker 1: And also I could see the Cowboys because Jerald no

243
00:14:49,686 --> 00:14:55,086
Speaker 1: bigger recruitment campaign. But Openley, oh yeah, no, openly flirting

244
00:14:55,726 --> 00:15:01,286
Speaker 1: with OBJ and saying the airplane incident is a nothing burger.

245
00:15:01,966 --> 00:15:05,446
Speaker 1: I see him fitting in there. That that's where he

246
00:15:05,526 --> 00:15:09,686
Speaker 1: makes a difference. He's another red zone target there. Again,

247
00:15:09,766 --> 00:15:13,166
Speaker 1: the concern are his knees. You know, he's had two

248
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,566
Speaker 1: knee surgeries, so we'll see how ready he is. But

249
00:15:15,846 --> 00:15:17,766
Speaker 1: if I had a guess, and I think you're probably

250
00:15:17,806 --> 00:15:20,486
Speaker 1: think the same thing, it's got to be the Cowboys, right, Yeah,

251
00:15:20,806 --> 00:15:24,326
Speaker 1: need versus reality are two very different things, and at

252
00:15:24,366 --> 00:15:25,686
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's going to come down

253
00:15:25,726 --> 00:15:29,126
Speaker 1: to a business decision if you follow, like, which team

254
00:15:29,206 --> 00:15:31,526
Speaker 1: is going to give this man the kind of contract

255
00:15:31,566 --> 00:15:36,006
Speaker 1: that he not only requires but merits at this point

256
00:15:36,046 --> 00:15:38,806
Speaker 1: in his career. You know, So that's gonna be true

257
00:15:38,966 --> 00:15:40,886
Speaker 1: to your point with the Cowboys, that whole locker room

258
00:15:40,966 --> 00:15:43,446
Speaker 1: has been recruiting him at this point, all the Twitter

259
00:15:43,486 --> 00:15:46,926
Speaker 1: back and forth him and Michael Parsons, Zeke has gotten

260
00:15:46,966 --> 00:15:50,886
Speaker 1: into it in a postgame interview. I like it. This

261
00:15:50,966 --> 00:15:53,326
Speaker 1: is like a new era of recruiting. We see a

262
00:15:53,366 --> 00:15:55,886
Speaker 1: little bit in the NBA, but like the NFL has

263
00:15:56,046 --> 00:16:00,606
Speaker 1: really jumped in hard on on the Twitter recruitment train,

264
00:16:01,006 --> 00:16:06,886
Speaker 1: which I'm like Yeah, no, totally. I think for them

265
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:10,286
Speaker 1: he'll make a big difference. And to have somebody else

266
00:16:10,646 --> 00:16:14,326
Speaker 1: other than Ceedee Lamb getting touchdowns, I think that's going

267
00:16:14,366 --> 00:16:17,966
Speaker 1: to be big. There's also other big stories though, m J.

268
00:16:18,406 --> 00:16:23,726
Speaker 1: Come on me, all right, all right, fine, let's talk

269
00:16:23,766 --> 00:16:25,846
Speaker 1: about the Raiders a little bit, because you know it's

270
00:16:25,926 --> 00:16:29,526
Speaker 1: it's been a tumultuous road for this team this season.

271
00:16:29,566 --> 00:16:31,566
Speaker 1: A lot of people scratching their heads. What's going on

272
00:16:31,726 --> 00:16:35,566
Speaker 1: with coach McDaniels. How do you have this much talent

273
00:16:35,806 --> 00:16:38,686
Speaker 1: on your roster and you can't string together a little

274
00:16:38,726 --> 00:16:41,406
Speaker 1: wind streak going on? We've seen them take really bad

275
00:16:41,526 --> 00:16:45,446
Speaker 1: losses this year, but my star of Week twelve, who

276
00:16:45,526 --> 00:16:49,486
Speaker 1: gave me more than forty eight Fantasy points Wow, led

277
00:16:49,486 --> 00:16:53,486
Speaker 1: me to another victory. Josh Jay, you know, having his

278
00:16:53,566 --> 00:16:56,286
Speaker 1: head coaches back, he says, Nah, it takes losing your

279
00:16:56,286 --> 00:16:58,686
Speaker 1: captains to lose your locker room. Obviously, a couple guys

280
00:16:58,726 --> 00:17:00,606
Speaker 1: say things here and there, but it's like, you don't

281
00:17:00,646 --> 00:17:03,926
Speaker 1: play that much, so it doesn't matter. But when you

282
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:05,966
Speaker 1: lose the guys, that's when you lose the locker room.

283
00:17:05,966 --> 00:17:10,646
Speaker 1: And he definitely hasn't lost the guys yet, so sticking

284
00:17:10,726 --> 00:17:14,246
Speaker 1: up for his head coach. It's essentially telling the media.

285
00:17:14,286 --> 00:17:17,246
Speaker 1: From what I deduced from this, it's not as dire

286
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,966
Speaker 1: as all of you think it is. I know we've

287
00:17:18,966 --> 00:17:21,006
Speaker 1: taken some bad losses, there's been a lot of emotion,

288
00:17:21,406 --> 00:17:25,166
Speaker 1: but coach is still doing his job. I don't I

289
00:17:25,206 --> 00:17:29,406
Speaker 1: don't know what I like that. It's it's showing Josh's leadership, right.

290
00:17:29,406 --> 00:17:31,566
Speaker 1: He's been on that team now several years. We've seen

291
00:17:31,566 --> 00:17:33,726
Speaker 1: what he can do on the field, but his character

292
00:17:33,766 --> 00:17:35,366
Speaker 1: in the locker room has been huge, and I think

293
00:17:35,366 --> 00:17:37,446
Speaker 1: this is a good way to sort of like, hey, everybody,

294
00:17:37,486 --> 00:17:40,286
Speaker 1: calm down. Whatever you're hearing, let me be the one

295
00:17:40,326 --> 00:17:42,566
Speaker 1: to tell you that's not where we are. However, he

296
00:17:42,606 --> 00:17:46,646
Speaker 1: did put the word yet at the end of that quote,

297
00:17:46,686 --> 00:17:51,686
Speaker 1: well I am yeah, yeah, I know. I noticed that.

298
00:17:51,726 --> 00:17:55,526
Speaker 1: There's always Yet the fact that he's come out and

299
00:17:55,566 --> 00:17:59,166
Speaker 1: he's defended Josh McDaniels, I think is actually huge because

300
00:17:59,246 --> 00:18:02,606
Speaker 1: we've seen visibly the frustration from guys like Derek Carr,

301
00:18:02,686 --> 00:18:05,566
Speaker 1: who's at the verge of tears, who cares about this

302
00:18:05,726 --> 00:18:08,806
Speaker 1: so much. They had that terrible loss to the cults,

303
00:18:08,966 --> 00:18:11,366
Speaker 1: and you wonder what direction they were going in, it

304
00:18:11,366 --> 00:18:15,126
Speaker 1: felt like they were underutilizing Davante Adams. But they've strung

305
00:18:15,246 --> 00:18:18,446
Speaker 1: together two in a row, none bigger than that win

306
00:18:18,726 --> 00:18:22,766
Speaker 1: in Seattle against the Seahawks where Jacobs had that big

307
00:18:22,926 --> 00:18:25,686
Speaker 1: walk off run there at the end that got you

308
00:18:25,766 --> 00:18:33,406
Speaker 1: your forty eight points fantasy. And what's what's fun about

309
00:18:33,486 --> 00:18:37,566
Speaker 1: his story is that remember going into this season, he

310
00:18:37,646 --> 00:18:41,126
Speaker 1: was playing in preseason games where it looks like his

311
00:18:41,366 --> 00:18:43,806
Speaker 1: days Yeah, they didn't pick up his option and it

312
00:18:43,846 --> 00:18:48,046
Speaker 1: looked like his days were numbered there in the Silver

313
00:18:48,206 --> 00:18:52,006
Speaker 1: and Black. So you like to hear that they obviously

314
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:55,566
Speaker 1: invested a lot in Josh McDaniels. But the Raiders shown

315
00:18:55,606 --> 00:18:58,166
Speaker 1: me a lot of fight. They're facing the Chargers, which

316
00:18:58,166 --> 00:19:02,286
Speaker 1: is another big game for both of those teams. The

317
00:19:02,566 --> 00:19:05,566
Speaker 1: one thing about the Raiders, they're gritty if nothing else,

318
00:19:05,566 --> 00:19:09,606
Speaker 1: and they definitely don't back down from anything. Yeah, we

319
00:19:09,686 --> 00:19:35,726
Speaker 1: don't back down from cheese. The stories for the other

320
00:19:35,766 --> 00:19:37,326
Speaker 1: side of the coin here, we have a lot of

321
00:19:37,326 --> 00:19:43,766
Speaker 1: emotion in this Raiders locker room, almost apathy from the

322
00:19:43,926 --> 00:19:49,206
Speaker 1: Cardinals QB until this week because Kyler Murray clapping back,

323
00:19:50,086 --> 00:19:54,086
Speaker 1: clapping back at current Biking Patrick Peterson, who had criticized

324
00:19:54,166 --> 00:19:57,446
Speaker 1: Murray on his podcast, saying, quote, Kyler Murray don't care

325
00:19:57,446 --> 00:20:00,606
Speaker 1: about nobody but Kyler Murray. You guys didn't see this

326
00:20:00,726 --> 00:20:04,606
Speaker 1: queet this tweet. Rather, Murray said, this isn't true. You're

327
00:20:04,966 --> 00:20:08,486
Speaker 1: some weird ish You have my number. If you really

328
00:20:08,486 --> 00:20:11,006
Speaker 1: felt like this as a big burrow or mentor, and

329
00:20:11,046 --> 00:20:14,086
Speaker 1: that is in quotes, you're supposed to call me and

330
00:20:14,086 --> 00:20:16,726
Speaker 1: tell me, not drag me, so your podcast can grow.

331
00:20:17,126 --> 00:20:22,606
Speaker 1: Now he's not He's not wrong. I was not wrong.

332
00:20:22,646 --> 00:20:24,806
Speaker 1: If he really didn't hear anything, then suddenly just all

333
00:20:25,246 --> 00:20:30,966
Speaker 1: pops up on a podcast. But there's just so there's

334
00:20:30,966 --> 00:20:34,606
Speaker 1: so many layers to this Cardinals story. Right with Kyler

335
00:20:34,686 --> 00:20:37,486
Speaker 1: Murray specifically, we hear the rumblings that he's not a

336
00:20:37,526 --> 00:20:43,406
Speaker 1: locker room guy. We there's been questions about not just

337
00:20:43,526 --> 00:20:48,086
Speaker 1: his aptitude, but just his want to play in the NFL.

338
00:20:48,846 --> 00:20:51,326
Speaker 1: Save for the mega contract that he got at the

339
00:20:51,366 --> 00:20:53,206
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. They put a clause in there

340
00:20:53,206 --> 00:20:56,246
Speaker 1: that he had to do film. I mean, it's never ending,

341
00:20:56,846 --> 00:20:59,526
Speaker 1: it's never ending around this guy. So I actually was

342
00:20:59,566 --> 00:21:01,486
Speaker 1: a little surprised to see that he clapped back at

343
00:21:01,486 --> 00:21:05,086
Speaker 1: somebody you said you liked it from kind of yeah, yeah,

344
00:21:05,126 --> 00:21:08,406
Speaker 1: I did like it because that's the one thing that

345
00:21:08,566 --> 00:21:10,686
Speaker 1: I think we want to see. And I say we

346
00:21:11,126 --> 00:21:13,486
Speaker 1: people like me that just want to see some fire,

347
00:21:14,086 --> 00:21:18,606
Speaker 1: some emotion out of him, because it feels like this

348
00:21:18,646 --> 00:21:22,366
Speaker 1: season he's done it. He's been yelling at Cliff Kingsbury

349
00:21:22,526 --> 00:21:27,686
Speaker 1: on the sideline. He has now clapped back to Patrick Peterson,

350
00:21:28,006 --> 00:21:31,846
Speaker 1: and he mentions that the mentor role or big bro

351
00:21:32,086 --> 00:21:36,446
Speaker 1: role that Patrick Peterson had, Like, I respect that he

352
00:21:36,486 --> 00:21:39,206
Speaker 1: defended himself, but also it's like, so why did Patrick

353
00:21:39,246 --> 00:21:43,726
Speaker 1: Peterson choose to veer off in another direction? Because he

354
00:21:43,966 --> 00:21:47,166
Speaker 1: was talking about Cliff Kingsbury and maybe his days being

355
00:21:47,246 --> 00:21:49,366
Speaker 1: numbered and then all of a sudden kind of takes

356
00:21:49,366 --> 00:21:52,566
Speaker 1: a shot at Kyler. Now, Patrick Peterson is a guy

357
00:21:52,566 --> 00:21:55,646
Speaker 1: who was well respected around the league, well respected in

358
00:21:55,686 --> 00:21:58,286
Speaker 1: the locker rooms that he's been in. Now, his time

359
00:21:58,406 --> 00:22:01,486
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals did not end well. I mean, it

360
00:22:01,566 --> 00:22:05,686
Speaker 1: was a very messy ending there in Area Zona. So

361
00:22:05,726 --> 00:22:08,006
Speaker 1: I just kind of wonder why he just would veer

362
00:22:08,166 --> 00:22:13,806
Speaker 1: on to to attack Kyler. That That's that's where I

363
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:18,326
Speaker 1: was I was at, like wait, why why? And then

364
00:22:19,926 --> 00:22:23,606
Speaker 1: well there always there always is, and so that's why

365
00:22:23,606 --> 00:22:26,606
Speaker 1: I was waiting for like the follow up two of okay,

366
00:22:26,726 --> 00:22:30,046
Speaker 1: why do you say that? What's your point by that?

367
00:22:30,126 --> 00:22:35,046
Speaker 1: And so On Twitter, DeAndre Hopkins then responded with a

368
00:22:35,206 --> 00:22:39,326
Speaker 1: quote essentially, you know, supporting his quarterback as he should.

369
00:22:39,406 --> 00:22:42,686
Speaker 1: But I want to hear more from other guys like

370
00:22:42,726 --> 00:22:46,606
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker, who you've seen in Hard Knocks in season

371
00:22:46,686 --> 00:22:50,526
Speaker 1: be very outspoken, very emotional. I want to hear from

372
00:22:50,606 --> 00:22:55,926
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. He's a leader, he's vocal, he's in guys' faces.

373
00:22:56,646 --> 00:22:58,486
Speaker 1: Is he going to jump into the fray with this

374
00:22:58,526 --> 00:23:01,286
Speaker 1: thing or is he going to stay away from you

375
00:23:01,326 --> 00:23:04,366
Speaker 1: don't think so, Maybe to worry about. There's a lot

376
00:23:04,366 --> 00:23:08,246
Speaker 1: going on and here's the thing, and we work very

377
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:13,086
Speaker 1: closely with legends of the game, and anytime something like

378
00:23:13,126 --> 00:23:15,446
Speaker 1: this pops up, especially you know, this is a new

379
00:23:15,486 --> 00:23:18,326
Speaker 1: era now with all of social media and everybody airing

380
00:23:18,326 --> 00:23:21,846
Speaker 1: things out. They always say keep family business in house,

381
00:23:22,246 --> 00:23:25,446
Speaker 1: and we see we see more and more people airing

382
00:23:25,486 --> 00:23:29,006
Speaker 1: stuff out all over social media, and that doesn't sit

383
00:23:29,126 --> 00:23:32,006
Speaker 1: right with a lot of people. I wouldn't want it to.

384
00:23:32,606 --> 00:23:35,766
Speaker 1: But once you break that seal and once you're tweeting

385
00:23:35,806 --> 00:23:38,406
Speaker 1: about things, and once you're you're snapping back up people.

386
00:23:38,646 --> 00:23:41,086
Speaker 1: There's no turning back from that, because now you've let

387
00:23:41,126 --> 00:23:44,126
Speaker 1: the world in on what's going on. You've given us

388
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,806
Speaker 1: a peek behind the veil. Back by the way, we

389
00:23:45,806 --> 00:23:48,126
Speaker 1: didn't ask for this, y'all are putting this out there,

390
00:23:49,566 --> 00:23:52,966
Speaker 1: so it just shows a little bit. You know, when

391
00:23:53,006 --> 00:23:54,566
Speaker 1: you're a kid, they tell you to clean up your room.

392
00:23:54,606 --> 00:23:57,846
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this. Um My mom's tell me clean

393
00:23:57,886 --> 00:23:59,126
Speaker 1: up your room. A head of cleaning up, yet to

394
00:23:59,166 --> 00:24:00,926
Speaker 1: just throw everything under the bed. I think that's why

395
00:24:00,966 --> 00:24:08,166
Speaker 1: I'm so no. I got in trouble. Yes, I got

396
00:24:08,246 --> 00:24:11,366
Speaker 1: in such a bit trouble for doing that that overcorrection.

397
00:24:11,446 --> 00:24:14,526
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, ask my husband. Everything has a home,

398
00:24:14,566 --> 00:24:16,326
Speaker 1: Everything has to go in its place. But the point

399
00:24:16,446 --> 00:24:19,566
Speaker 1: was you can't. You don't want people to see the mess.

400
00:24:20,486 --> 00:24:22,446
Speaker 1: You try to hide the mess. Right now, it's out

401
00:24:22,446 --> 00:24:25,406
Speaker 1: there and we're so slight, but it's out there. Um

402
00:24:25,526 --> 00:24:27,726
Speaker 1: And and that's that's a little hard to recover from.

403
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:30,726
Speaker 1: And you start to lose lose people in that sense,

404
00:24:30,766 --> 00:24:33,526
Speaker 1: whether in the locker room or outside. Yeah. And I

405
00:24:33,566 --> 00:24:37,366
Speaker 1: feel like from the start we were talking about Kyler's

406
00:24:38,526 --> 00:24:42,166
Speaker 1: homework clause and then you know he gets on the

407
00:24:42,206 --> 00:24:47,046
Speaker 1: sideline and he's he's in shouting matches and then that's

408
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:50,166
Speaker 1: not the way either, bro like right right. But then

409
00:24:50,326 --> 00:24:54,166
Speaker 1: but then, like he essentially said, the scheme is crap,

410
00:24:54,606 --> 00:24:56,406
Speaker 1: is what he's saying about the offense. I've taking a

411
00:24:56,406 --> 00:25:00,886
Speaker 1: shot at Cliff Kingsbury. And now this is all unfolding

412
00:25:01,846 --> 00:25:06,646
Speaker 1: very publicly, not just on Twitter, also on HBO. So

413
00:25:06,846 --> 00:25:10,766
Speaker 1: I have to say when it comes to my viewing now,

414
00:25:10,806 --> 00:25:14,326
Speaker 1: the two things I look forward to from HBO is

415
00:25:14,646 --> 00:25:19,766
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks Arizona Cardinals in season and the White Lotus. Yes,

416
00:25:20,246 --> 00:25:23,646
Speaker 1: I'm all in on the White Lotus. I am finally

417
00:25:23,726 --> 00:25:25,606
Speaker 1: in on it. It took me a little bit because

418
00:25:25,646 --> 00:25:29,846
Speaker 1: I'd like season one weird, was totally weird because I

419
00:25:29,846 --> 00:25:32,926
Speaker 1: didn't know how to describe it to people because they're

420
00:25:32,966 --> 00:25:36,806
Speaker 1: in this beautiful setting of Sicily, and then you have

421
00:25:36,926 --> 00:25:41,606
Speaker 1: these these couples, these people that come on vacation and

422
00:25:41,646 --> 00:25:45,126
Speaker 1: they bring the dysfunction with them, and then it starts

423
00:25:45,166 --> 00:25:48,246
Speaker 1: to get wild and then you start to second guess

424
00:25:48,286 --> 00:25:54,086
Speaker 1: different things. So I'm anticipating the next Hard Knocks and

425
00:25:54,206 --> 00:25:59,126
Speaker 1: the next White Lotus, like I'm ready, I'm here for it.

426
00:25:59,886 --> 00:26:05,086
Speaker 1: We are in full mid season form beefy beefy topics today,

427
00:26:05,126 --> 00:26:07,446
Speaker 1: so let's get a little rapid fire going. Well, let's

428
00:26:07,446 --> 00:26:11,966
Speaker 1: start with buy or selva. These are gut ladies and gentlemen,

429
00:26:12,406 --> 00:26:19,566
Speaker 1: it's time or bye or selva. These are good because

430
00:26:19,606 --> 00:26:22,366
Speaker 1: I love that you pinpointed Titans Eagles that play at

431
00:26:22,366 --> 00:26:26,166
Speaker 1: one pmm fox this week. Derrick Henry will have more

432
00:26:26,246 --> 00:26:29,486
Speaker 1: rushing yards than the Eagles collectively, is what you're saying

433
00:26:29,526 --> 00:26:34,486
Speaker 1: here by our silva. I am going to buy on

434
00:26:34,526 --> 00:26:37,126
Speaker 1: this now. Henry is the only player with over two

435
00:26:37,166 --> 00:26:41,286
Speaker 1: thousand yards or twenty touchdowns on the ground in December

436
00:26:41,526 --> 00:26:44,686
Speaker 1: since he entered the league. He also can handle the

437
00:26:44,806 --> 00:26:49,366
Speaker 1: cold on eighteen point seven career rush yards per game

438
00:26:49,486 --> 00:26:52,406
Speaker 1: on the road in December or later is the Hyacinths

439
00:26:52,526 --> 00:26:56,446
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty. And he's facing a run defense is very vulnerable.

440
00:26:56,646 --> 00:26:59,406
Speaker 1: They may or may not get Jordan Davis, but they

441
00:26:59,446 --> 00:27:01,326
Speaker 1: have been vulnerable not only with the run but the

442
00:27:01,366 --> 00:27:04,286
Speaker 1: middle of the field. So I am going to buy

443
00:27:04,526 --> 00:27:06,846
Speaker 1: on this one here. He's going to get more yards

444
00:27:06,966 --> 00:27:10,526
Speaker 1: than Jalen Hurts and all those running backs. Yeah, I

445
00:27:10,566 --> 00:27:12,246
Speaker 1: mean Jalen Hurts can be putting up one hundred and

446
00:27:12,286 --> 00:27:16,886
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards on the ground every game. Can he see?

447
00:27:17,366 --> 00:27:22,326
Speaker 1: I agree with you? Will? All right, You're right Jets

448
00:27:22,366 --> 00:27:26,166
Speaker 1: at Vikings. Oh, this is one PM on CBS Eastern.

449
00:27:26,326 --> 00:27:30,166
Speaker 1: I love this matchup by Ourselvea. Sauce Gardner will give

450
00:27:30,246 --> 00:27:35,246
Speaker 1: up a touchdown to Justin Jefferson. Okay, So with this one,

451
00:27:35,366 --> 00:27:39,766
Speaker 1: I gave it some h some thoughts, some deliberation. Jefferson

452
00:27:39,846 --> 00:27:43,886
Speaker 1: jess name the NFC Offensive Player of the month. But

453
00:27:44,086 --> 00:27:47,326
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner has been the total package when it comes

454
00:27:47,326 --> 00:27:50,566
Speaker 1: to a shut down corner. He's taken care of business

455
00:27:50,606 --> 00:27:56,246
Speaker 1: against Jamar Chase, Stefan Diggs, He's done it against Tyreek Hill,

456
00:27:56,886 --> 00:28:01,046
Speaker 1: and a few weeks ago, I actually thought that Stefon

457
00:28:01,206 --> 00:28:05,886
Speaker 1: Diggs would have his way against Sauce Gardner against the rookie. Well,

458
00:28:05,926 --> 00:28:10,246
Speaker 1: I am going to correct this wrong right now, and

459
00:28:10,286 --> 00:28:14,246
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Selva on this, Sauas Gardner will not

460
00:28:14,406 --> 00:28:17,606
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown to Justin Jefferson. And what we've

461
00:28:17,646 --> 00:28:21,366
Speaker 1: seen from Justin Jefferson in the games that the Vikings

462
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:26,366
Speaker 1: have lost big I'm talking about those games against the Eagles,

463
00:28:26,766 --> 00:28:31,406
Speaker 1: for example, where they just got handled as well. I

464
00:28:31,486 --> 00:28:36,526
Speaker 1: think that I think it's Sausa's time and Justin Jefferson

465
00:28:36,526 --> 00:28:39,606
Speaker 1: and those big, big moments has disappeared. I know he

466
00:28:39,686 --> 00:28:41,686
Speaker 1: was big against the Bills. If I'm just saying, in

467
00:28:41,726 --> 00:28:45,126
Speaker 1: those big losses that they've had, Justin Jefferson has been

468
00:28:45,126 --> 00:28:47,606
Speaker 1: a non factor. I think sas Gardner is going to

469
00:28:47,646 --> 00:28:50,406
Speaker 1: get the upper hand here. These are the games that

470
00:28:50,686 --> 00:28:55,726
Speaker 1: players like sauce in the secondary circle, highlight, underscore, italics,

471
00:28:56,406 --> 00:28:58,406
Speaker 1: all of the things. Especially when you have a man

472
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:01,166
Speaker 1: like Justin Jefferson, who is one of the best, if

473
00:29:01,206 --> 00:29:03,446
Speaker 1: not the best at white out in the league. Oh,

474
00:29:03,726 --> 00:29:06,606
Speaker 1: I love it. That leads us perfectly because both of

475
00:29:06,646 --> 00:29:14,686
Speaker 1: these guys embody what we know to be a barromacho.

476
00:29:17,446 --> 00:29:24,566
Speaker 1: My first Barromacho is Brian Robinson. Brian Robinson has brought

477
00:29:24,686 --> 00:29:29,326
Speaker 1: this toughness, this physicality to the running game. Him and

478
00:29:29,326 --> 00:29:32,526
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson have been a great compliment to each other.

479
00:29:32,886 --> 00:29:36,566
Speaker 1: I think with Tyler Heinik, they're also bringing that swag,

480
00:29:36,886 --> 00:29:41,326
Speaker 1: that bravado. They're winning and on the defensive end, that

481
00:29:41,486 --> 00:29:43,806
Speaker 1: d line has been bringing it. And I just think

482
00:29:43,886 --> 00:29:48,966
Speaker 1: that Brian Robinson's story, I mean, he's again somebody who

483
00:29:49,006 --> 00:29:53,646
Speaker 1: has recovered from multiple gunshot wounds from and attempted carjack

484
00:29:54,006 --> 00:29:57,966
Speaker 1: totally insane coming off one hundred and five yard rushing game.

485
00:29:58,366 --> 00:30:02,606
Speaker 1: I just think that he runs hard, he runs angry.

486
00:30:02,806 --> 00:30:04,766
Speaker 1: He was in line for the angry run Scepter didn't

487
00:30:04,926 --> 00:30:10,126
Speaker 1: get it. That's Kyle Brandt's perview, not mine. But I

488
00:30:10,166 --> 00:30:15,806
Speaker 1: think that has made the Commanders the playoff contending team

489
00:30:15,846 --> 00:30:18,486
Speaker 1: that they're on, or that they are now, and they're

490
00:30:18,526 --> 00:30:20,446
Speaker 1: gonna be facing the Giants and what's going to be

491
00:30:20,526 --> 00:30:24,046
Speaker 1: a huge divisional matchup that the Giants have to get.

492
00:30:24,086 --> 00:30:27,086
Speaker 1: But they, as we mentioned before, we'd been scuffling. Look

493
00:30:27,126 --> 00:30:29,686
Speaker 1: at this, Look at this division. Look oh it's played

494
00:30:29,686 --> 00:30:32,246
Speaker 1: out this year. I love you NFC's thank you for that.

495
00:30:32,326 --> 00:30:38,046
Speaker 1: All right, let's head west where your other Petromaco lies. Yes,

496
00:30:38,246 --> 00:30:41,406
Speaker 1: he is a member of the Silver and Black, and

497
00:30:41,526 --> 00:30:44,846
Speaker 1: he likes to have not one X, but two xes.

498
00:30:45,646 --> 00:30:50,366
Speaker 1: Max Crosby of the Raiders, this guy gets after it.

499
00:30:50,526 --> 00:30:54,086
Speaker 1: He's fourth in the league in sacks, first in tackles

500
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:59,326
Speaker 1: for a loss, fourth in QB hits. He was so

501
00:30:59,526 --> 00:31:04,246
Speaker 1: instrumental in that win in Seattle, and while Josh Jacobs

502
00:31:04,446 --> 00:31:09,086
Speaker 1: was the one that made headlines. It was Max Crosby

503
00:31:09,326 --> 00:31:12,366
Speaker 1: who actually was making the news. He was coming up

504
00:31:12,406 --> 00:31:17,406
Speaker 1: with sack after sack in critical third down situations. And

505
00:31:17,846 --> 00:31:21,966
Speaker 1: he does not get enough love because of the Raiders record,

506
00:31:22,326 --> 00:31:25,126
Speaker 1: but he deserves to be in the defensive Player of

507
00:31:25,166 --> 00:31:29,886
Speaker 1: the Year conversation. And now he's got Justin Herbert in

508
00:31:30,006 --> 00:31:33,326
Speaker 1: his sights. So justin look out, keep your head on

509
00:31:33,366 --> 00:31:36,366
Speaker 1: the swivel. But here comes Mad Max and he's bearing

510
00:31:36,446 --> 00:31:39,806
Speaker 1: down on you with that one X but two x's baby.

511
00:31:39,926 --> 00:31:43,326
Speaker 1: Mad Max has been such a treat to cover and

512
00:31:43,366 --> 00:31:46,046
Speaker 1: to watch from the moment he entered the league, was

513
00:31:46,126 --> 00:31:48,566
Speaker 1: part of that huge draft class with the Raiders when

514
00:31:48,566 --> 00:31:51,366
Speaker 1: they were still in Oakland, when Mayok was still the GM.

515
00:31:51,486 --> 00:31:55,486
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who has worked hard

516
00:31:55,526 --> 00:31:57,646
Speaker 1: to get to this position. Love to see it, so

517
00:31:57,686 --> 00:32:00,846
Speaker 1: happy for him. Mad Max, double digit sax on the year,

518
00:32:00,886 --> 00:32:04,806
Speaker 1: already killing it out there. Yes he is, and he's

519
00:32:04,806 --> 00:32:07,486
Speaker 1: looking for more. And you know what, we're always looking

520
00:32:07,526 --> 00:32:11,526
Speaker 1: for for more of something that just gives us this feeling,

521
00:32:11,726 --> 00:32:15,126
Speaker 1: something that can't be replaced. You can't bottle it up.

522
00:32:15,326 --> 00:32:27,606
Speaker 1: Is what we like to call Plato power. Nothing no power. Listen,

523
00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:31,046
Speaker 1: my parents will be here in just over three weeks.

524
00:32:31,086 --> 00:32:36,646
Speaker 1: I can already taste um mango that my dad is

525
00:32:36,726 --> 00:32:41,486
Speaker 1: the key making. Oh so close, so close, I'm gonna

526
00:32:41,526 --> 00:32:44,646
Speaker 1: have roll over calories just saved up for that mangou

527
00:32:44,726 --> 00:32:48,286
Speaker 1: plate um. But this is somebody who I've been watching

528
00:32:48,966 --> 00:32:52,766
Speaker 1: uh very closely all season. He was my power before

529
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:55,006
Speaker 1: going to the Mexico City game, but I didn't get

530
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:57,646
Speaker 1: to give him some love. How impressed am I with

531
00:32:57,886 --> 00:33:01,486
Speaker 1: Teloah who Funga? So impressed that I am giving him

532
00:33:01,486 --> 00:33:05,006
Speaker 1: the Platano Power Honor the week he is playing my

533
00:33:05,126 --> 00:33:09,926
Speaker 1: hometown team. Are you kidding me? This man flies around

534
00:33:09,926 --> 00:33:12,966
Speaker 1: the field. He makes big plays, especially when he needs it.

535
00:33:13,006 --> 00:33:16,606
Speaker 1: He has been a stronghold for the secondary for this

536
00:33:16,686 --> 00:33:19,326
Speaker 1: forty nine ers team. I think he's somebody who doesn't

537
00:33:19,326 --> 00:33:22,206
Speaker 1: get enough love. I know that Jason gave him some

538
00:33:22,326 --> 00:33:24,246
Speaker 1: love on GMFB the other day, which I was really

539
00:33:24,246 --> 00:33:26,846
Speaker 1: really happy to see. I was like, yes, according you

540
00:33:26,886 --> 00:33:29,086
Speaker 1: with me right here, We're here, bro, We're on the

541
00:33:29,126 --> 00:33:32,446
Speaker 1: same wavelength. But he has been getting all the helpings

542
00:33:32,526 --> 00:33:35,046
Speaker 1: of Platano and all the side dishes that go with it.

543
00:33:35,526 --> 00:33:37,686
Speaker 1: Very excited to see what he's doing. Just you know,

544
00:33:37,926 --> 00:33:41,446
Speaker 1: maybe maybe just have one helping this week against the Dolphins.

545
00:33:42,046 --> 00:33:44,166
Speaker 1: I think it easy a little bit he's going to

546
00:33:44,246 --> 00:33:46,446
Speaker 1: do that. I doubt he's going to do that, but

547
00:33:46,606 --> 00:33:48,966
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how he matches up with

548
00:33:49,006 --> 00:33:51,686
Speaker 1: the speed that the Dolphins have as well. So have

549
00:33:51,886 --> 00:33:54,046
Speaker 1: loved watching him so far. He's one of those guys

550
00:33:54,046 --> 00:33:56,366
Speaker 1: that I mentioned earlier I'm so nervous about in this

551
00:33:56,686 --> 00:33:59,726
Speaker 1: forty nine ers defense. Now, he's a ballhawk and he

552
00:33:59,806 --> 00:34:03,686
Speaker 1: likes to tackle and he likes to get after it.

553
00:34:03,926 --> 00:34:06,446
Speaker 1: So that's a great, great call, But he's gonna have

554
00:34:06,486 --> 00:34:10,006
Speaker 1: his hands full with those weapons on the Dolphins offense.

555
00:34:10,646 --> 00:34:13,206
Speaker 1: On the other side of things, let's go on the

556
00:34:13,246 --> 00:34:15,966
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Because coming up next on

557
00:34:16,206 --> 00:34:20,606
Speaker 1: L Huddle, Mark Sanchez is joined the podcast. Are you

558
00:34:20,646 --> 00:34:23,646
Speaker 1: ready He's coming up in just a couple of minutes. Yes.

559
00:34:41,406 --> 00:34:45,046
Speaker 1: Ten year NFL veteran and game analysts for the NFL

560
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:51,566
Speaker 1: on Fox, Mark Sanchez joins us on the L Huddle podcast. Mark, Great,

561
00:34:52,406 --> 00:34:55,646
Speaker 1: my friend. We actually had you on Good Morning Football

562
00:34:56,006 --> 00:35:00,046
Speaker 1: and you were fresh off the broadcast boot camp and

563
00:35:00,126 --> 00:35:03,926
Speaker 1: now look at you're in there with Coogler doing your

564
00:35:04,006 --> 00:35:07,966
Speaker 1: thing in the booth. And it was funny listening to

565
00:35:08,006 --> 00:35:12,926
Speaker 1: you guys entertaining listen for sure hearing you guys. You

566
00:35:12,966 --> 00:35:17,166
Speaker 1: were actually trying to help him learn some words like

567
00:35:17,246 --> 00:35:23,446
Speaker 1: skirt skirt from the Urban Dictionary in the broadcast. So

568
00:35:24,086 --> 00:35:26,926
Speaker 1: have you been teaching him stuff? And he's finally like

569
00:35:27,086 --> 00:35:29,406
Speaker 1: getting up to date with him a day. Where do

570
00:35:29,446 --> 00:35:31,206
Speaker 1: we stand with all this? I don't even know what

571
00:35:31,246 --> 00:35:36,246
Speaker 1: that means for the RUSS I think professionally, Kevin Kugler's

572
00:35:36,286 --> 00:35:40,686
Speaker 1: back is probably getting tired from carrying me. But socially

573
00:35:40,966 --> 00:35:45,326
Speaker 1: and with all the colloquialisms and all these funky things

574
00:35:45,326 --> 00:35:48,686
Speaker 1: that I think I know that young kids say, I'm

575
00:35:48,686 --> 00:35:50,606
Speaker 1: getting tired of carrying him. You know, I got to

576
00:35:50,646 --> 00:35:54,326
Speaker 1: help him out and bring him along and you know,

577
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:56,126
Speaker 1: get him down with the lingo. So you know, we

578
00:35:56,166 --> 00:35:57,926
Speaker 1: can't be any squares in the booth. We've got to

579
00:35:57,966 --> 00:35:59,486
Speaker 1: be a little bit of both. Right. It's like this

580
00:35:59,566 --> 00:36:03,206
Speaker 1: song and dance all the way through, and you know,

581
00:36:03,246 --> 00:36:07,086
Speaker 1: you got to be relevant to to a big, big audience,

582
00:36:07,326 --> 00:36:10,126
Speaker 1: and you know you got to you gotta keep the

583
00:36:10,206 --> 00:36:12,566
Speaker 1: kids in involved, you know, so they're not just staring

584
00:36:12,606 --> 00:36:15,126
Speaker 1: at their phones looking at memes and you got to

585
00:36:15,206 --> 00:36:18,526
Speaker 1: keep the old folks in it too, you know, like

586
00:36:18,566 --> 00:36:20,766
Speaker 1: my parents who are like, hey, just stick to football

587
00:36:20,766 --> 00:36:24,366
Speaker 1: and shut out. You know, so you have to you

588
00:36:24,406 --> 00:36:33,006
Speaker 1: have to engage the youths. Engage the Youth's right, all right, Mary,

589
00:36:33,046 --> 00:36:34,846
Speaker 1: So let's jump right in here, because you know we

590
00:36:34,846 --> 00:36:38,166
Speaker 1: we we have to ask you about the Jets quarterback

591
00:36:38,246 --> 00:36:43,206
Speaker 1: situation right now. Personally, I really commend Robert Sala for

592
00:36:43,286 --> 00:36:45,206
Speaker 1: sort of taking the rams as the head coach of

593
00:36:45,246 --> 00:36:47,326
Speaker 1: that team and making a decision that's not an easy

594
00:36:47,366 --> 00:36:51,446
Speaker 1: one to make to bench your your starting quarterback. You're

595
00:36:51,566 --> 00:36:54,926
Speaker 1: the guy you drafted high in the first round and

596
00:36:55,166 --> 00:36:57,646
Speaker 1: have White lightning out there now, Mike White. But I

597
00:36:57,726 --> 00:37:00,126
Speaker 1: do feel like it was a situation where it was

598
00:37:00,206 --> 00:37:03,646
Speaker 1: either make a very tough decision or lose the locker

599
00:37:03,686 --> 00:37:07,486
Speaker 1: room potentially the rest of the season because Zach Wilson

600
00:37:07,566 --> 00:37:09,646
Speaker 1: was just not playing at the expectation or at the

601
00:37:09,726 --> 00:37:11,446
Speaker 1: level that people thought that he would be playing at

602
00:37:11,446 --> 00:37:14,366
Speaker 1: this point in his career. How do you think coach

603
00:37:14,366 --> 00:37:17,326
Speaker 1: Sala handled that situation? And what would you do in

604
00:37:17,566 --> 00:37:19,766
Speaker 1: zach shoes and in Mike White's shoes for that matter.

605
00:37:20,526 --> 00:37:23,246
Speaker 1: You know, it's, oh, this is a tough one because

606
00:37:23,286 --> 00:37:28,766
Speaker 1: I personally understand that market and playing that position there

607
00:37:29,686 --> 00:37:32,126
Speaker 1: means so much more than just your performance on the field.

608
00:37:32,126 --> 00:37:33,926
Speaker 1: But if you take the emotion out of it and

609
00:37:34,006 --> 00:37:36,046
Speaker 1: you look at just the performance from year one to

610
00:37:36,126 --> 00:37:38,246
Speaker 1: year two, you want to see a jump in your play,

611
00:37:38,406 --> 00:37:42,166
Speaker 1: something tangible that you can say, hey, look, his completion

612
00:37:42,206 --> 00:37:46,686
Speaker 1: percentage has jumped by a couple percent. You know, his

613
00:37:47,206 --> 00:37:50,086
Speaker 1: yards per tempt or whatever. You know, his run checks,

614
00:37:50,086 --> 00:37:52,726
Speaker 1: the way he's grading out every game. There's something there,

615
00:37:52,846 --> 00:37:54,966
Speaker 1: right and right now we hadn't seen that with Zach.

616
00:37:55,846 --> 00:38:00,166
Speaker 1: The bigger issue became the press conference after the game,

617
00:38:00,246 --> 00:38:02,406
Speaker 1: and then it was like, Okay, if you're not going

618
00:38:02,446 --> 00:38:05,806
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that you're playing poorly, we need to go

619
00:38:05,846 --> 00:38:08,726
Speaker 1: back to score one and start over in some ways

620
00:38:08,846 --> 00:38:12,006
Speaker 1: with the maturity level of stuff and how you're going

621
00:38:12,046 --> 00:38:15,366
Speaker 1: to own this position and handle it moving forward. Now.

622
00:38:15,486 --> 00:38:19,366
Speaker 1: I think Robert Salid did an excellent job of, you know,

623
00:38:19,526 --> 00:38:23,886
Speaker 1: pulling that back, protecting the team, protecting the organization, and

624
00:38:23,966 --> 00:38:26,886
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, protecting himself, because if he

625
00:38:26,926 --> 00:38:29,806
Speaker 1: would have just let that role and Zach's oar starter

626
00:38:30,046 --> 00:38:32,126
Speaker 1: no matter what, and he can kind of do whatever,

627
00:38:32,206 --> 00:38:34,526
Speaker 1: and he's above the rules, let's say. Or if he's

628
00:38:34,566 --> 00:38:36,926
Speaker 1: not going to own it, then it's okay for him,

629
00:38:36,926 --> 00:38:39,526
Speaker 1: but everybody else has to own their performance. Well, then

630
00:38:39,566 --> 00:38:41,246
Speaker 1: he's going to lose the locker room and potentially lose

631
00:38:41,366 --> 00:38:44,846
Speaker 1: his job. And then that's it. Right now, the tricky

632
00:38:44,926 --> 00:38:47,446
Speaker 1: part he's I mean, my man's like on a tight

633
00:38:47,526 --> 00:38:52,406
Speaker 1: rope wire across Niagara Falls right now, right because it's

634
00:38:53,646 --> 00:38:56,846
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, what do you do now? Right now?

635
00:38:56,926 --> 00:39:00,006
Speaker 1: Mike White went out and balled. Granted they're playing the Bears,

636
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:04,526
Speaker 1: not the best defensive league. Fine, but he played well

637
00:39:04,926 --> 00:39:07,926
Speaker 1: and there's a little bit of juice there and they're

638
00:39:08,086 --> 00:39:11,086
Speaker 1: they're rolling. So what do you do with Zach Now?

639
00:39:11,126 --> 00:39:13,926
Speaker 1: How do you keep him engage? How do you keep

640
00:39:14,006 --> 00:39:17,726
Speaker 1: him involved? And that's where that tightrope walk is going.

641
00:39:17,766 --> 00:39:20,606
Speaker 1: And so I think he's done an excellent job Coachala

642
00:39:20,686 --> 00:39:24,606
Speaker 1: and handling the media. It's just you know, he's he's

643
00:39:24,646 --> 00:39:27,566
Speaker 1: living in this area of gray right, like, well, what's

644
00:39:27,566 --> 00:39:29,526
Speaker 1: the deal with that? Because in New York it's black

645
00:39:29,566 --> 00:39:32,326
Speaker 1: and white. It's you know, feast or famine. You're the

646
00:39:32,406 --> 00:39:35,126
Speaker 1: hero or you're a goat, like the old connotation of

647
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:37,406
Speaker 1: goat not the greatest of all time, like you're you're

648
00:39:37,406 --> 00:39:39,806
Speaker 1: out right, Yes, there's no eight and eight or nine

649
00:39:39,846 --> 00:39:42,966
Speaker 1: and eight, eight and nine season. It's either best or worse,

650
00:39:43,206 --> 00:39:48,326
Speaker 1: very superlative market. So, um, you know he's he's feeling

651
00:39:48,366 --> 00:39:51,926
Speaker 1: it's um, he's understanding what that market's all about. But

652
00:39:52,006 --> 00:39:53,966
Speaker 1: I'm proud of him for for a sticking to his gun,

653
00:39:54,086 --> 00:39:57,126
Speaker 1: standing his ground and you know, handling it the way

654
00:39:57,166 --> 00:39:59,686
Speaker 1: he saw fit. And sometimes in a vacuum it sounds

655
00:39:59,766 --> 00:40:02,446
Speaker 1: right and then you try and you know, convince everybody

656
00:40:02,446 --> 00:40:05,046
Speaker 1: else about it in that market, and it just, you know,

657
00:40:05,126 --> 00:40:06,966
Speaker 1: all hell breaks loose. So I've been a part of

658
00:40:06,966 --> 00:40:10,326
Speaker 1: that too, and you know, I really think he's done

659
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:14,446
Speaker 1: an excellent job of being the man, being steady and

660
00:40:14,566 --> 00:40:18,566
Speaker 1: holding people accountable and steady on the boat man. That's

661
00:40:18,566 --> 00:40:20,086
Speaker 1: not an easy position to be in. But he's got

662
00:40:20,086 --> 00:40:22,326
Speaker 1: that team position for the playoffs, so nobody's going to

663
00:40:22,406 --> 00:40:24,646
Speaker 1: argue if they make it. Well, how do you think

664
00:40:24,686 --> 00:40:27,806
Speaker 1: this is going to affect Zach Wilson long term and

665
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:32,326
Speaker 1: his development? Well, that's the tricky part, right, is that's

666
00:40:32,366 --> 00:40:36,086
Speaker 1: one of the layers of this onion is he's he's

667
00:40:36,126 --> 00:40:38,926
Speaker 1: got to take this as a learning opportunity. And he's

668
00:40:39,126 --> 00:40:40,966
Speaker 1: you know, he's sitting there with egg on his face

669
00:40:41,046 --> 00:40:44,126
Speaker 1: in one of the worst markets to feel that way, right,

670
00:40:44,126 --> 00:40:45,526
Speaker 1: And he's got to eat a little bit of crow.

671
00:40:45,606 --> 00:40:48,646
Speaker 1: He had to apologize to his teammates. You know, he's

672
00:40:49,006 --> 00:40:52,006
Speaker 1: kind of in this oh woe is me kind of deal.

673
00:40:52,366 --> 00:40:54,766
Speaker 1: But at the same time, for Zach, he can't lose

674
00:40:54,806 --> 00:40:57,726
Speaker 1: his stinger. He can't lose who he is. He has

675
00:40:57,766 --> 00:41:01,006
Speaker 1: to acknowledge it. The most important thing is acknowledge it,

676
00:41:01,526 --> 00:41:04,606
Speaker 1: learn from it, and then move the heck on. Understanding

677
00:41:04,606 --> 00:41:07,086
Speaker 1: that people are still going to try and bring that up.

678
00:41:07,126 --> 00:41:09,126
Speaker 1: So you better have a plan for that. You better

679
00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:11,166
Speaker 1: have a plan in your head. You know, if you're

680
00:41:11,766 --> 00:41:13,846
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a terrible decision. But like you know,

681
00:41:14,046 --> 00:41:16,126
Speaker 1: if you're if you're waiting till you're in the backseat

682
00:41:16,366 --> 00:41:18,446
Speaker 1: and it's getting all hot and sweaty with your girlfriend

683
00:41:18,526 --> 00:41:20,566
Speaker 1: in high school, and then you're going to make a decision,

684
00:41:20,606 --> 00:41:23,846
Speaker 1: like a great decision, probably a little too late, right, Like,

685
00:41:23,886 --> 00:41:25,646
Speaker 1: you might want to have a game plan before that,

686
00:41:25,686 --> 00:41:27,646
Speaker 1: because there's a good chance to make a bad decision.

687
00:41:27,686 --> 00:41:30,126
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, so like, he has to

688
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:34,566
Speaker 1: get to that position in his brain now because people

689
00:41:34,606 --> 00:41:37,046
Speaker 1: are going to bring it up. Somebody from another team

690
00:41:37,166 --> 00:41:38,966
Speaker 1: is going to bring it up like, oh little boy

691
00:41:39,006 --> 00:41:41,126
Speaker 1: got bench, Oh you can't handle the big league. I

692
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:43,006
Speaker 1: mean those are just examples. I'm sure it's gonna be

693
00:41:43,006 --> 00:41:45,486
Speaker 1: way worse than that. So he's gonna have to get

694
00:41:45,486 --> 00:41:48,166
Speaker 1: to a place mentally. And maybe this is what coach

695
00:41:48,166 --> 00:41:51,206
Speaker 1: Salo was alluding to, that he can learn from this,

696
00:41:51,446 --> 00:41:54,006
Speaker 1: to acknowledge it, learn from it, and then most importantly

697
00:41:54,366 --> 00:41:58,806
Speaker 1: move on and improve. Listen, adversity builds character. And I

698
00:41:58,846 --> 00:42:01,726
Speaker 1: think right off the gate immediately Zach Wilson said, you

699
00:42:01,766 --> 00:42:04,726
Speaker 1: know what this is. He took that slice of how

700
00:42:04,886 --> 00:42:07,006
Speaker 1: Will Pie and even at a little alamode on top

701
00:42:07,006 --> 00:42:09,126
Speaker 1: of that. So I commend him for that for sort

702
00:42:09,126 --> 00:42:12,206
Speaker 1: of course correcting pretty quickly, and everybody loves a comeback story.

703
00:42:12,286 --> 00:42:14,406
Speaker 1: So now that's the next chapter for him, I think,

704
00:42:14,606 --> 00:42:17,566
Speaker 1: to show how he rises and involves from all of this.

705
00:42:18,166 --> 00:42:23,406
Speaker 1: Speaking of evolution, you have had such an interesting broadcaster experience, Alreattery,

706
00:42:23,486 --> 00:42:25,566
Speaker 1: now that you're on our side of things. On the

707
00:42:25,566 --> 00:42:29,446
Speaker 1: football side, first twelve weeks of the season have been

708
00:42:30,406 --> 00:42:33,846
Speaker 1: wild to say the least. What's been your favorite moment

709
00:42:33,926 --> 00:42:39,046
Speaker 1: watching from the boom. I think some of the games

710
00:42:39,086 --> 00:42:44,006
Speaker 1: that you don't realize are going to be so competitive.

711
00:42:44,166 --> 00:42:47,446
Speaker 1: I think the two London games really come to mind,

712
00:42:48,006 --> 00:42:52,486
Speaker 1: and for me, I was so excited to do those games.

713
00:42:53,006 --> 00:42:54,806
Speaker 1: And we got to stay out there for two weeks.

714
00:42:54,886 --> 00:42:57,606
Speaker 1: My fiance came, my son came. He was out there

715
00:42:57,606 --> 00:42:59,526
Speaker 1: for like eight or nine of the days. He's like

716
00:42:59,606 --> 00:43:03,046
Speaker 1: missing school sending his buddy pictures back home, like you know,

717
00:43:03,166 --> 00:43:05,566
Speaker 1: by the London Eye and you know, experience stuff like

718
00:43:05,566 --> 00:43:09,606
Speaker 1: it was first such a cool experience, and the fans

719
00:43:09,606 --> 00:43:14,286
Speaker 1: were incredible. The games were incredible, the first one with

720
00:43:15,246 --> 00:43:20,246
Speaker 1: the Saints and Vikings, the double doink at the end,

721
00:43:20,326 --> 00:43:23,886
Speaker 1: like I couldn't believe it. I was, you know, Kevin

722
00:43:23,926 --> 00:43:25,846
Speaker 1: and I were. I'm like, I wish there was a

723
00:43:25,846 --> 00:43:27,966
Speaker 1: camera in the booth. I mean there is, hopefully they

724
00:43:27,966 --> 00:43:30,766
Speaker 1: don't release all the footage, but I'm like pushing Kevin

725
00:43:30,886 --> 00:43:33,166
Speaker 1: next to me and hitting my cough button and mute

726
00:43:33,206 --> 00:43:35,606
Speaker 1: button and talkback button to make sure I'm not on there,

727
00:43:35,686 --> 00:43:37,726
Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, are you freaking kidding me? Are

728
00:43:37,726 --> 00:43:40,606
Speaker 1: you freaking like this is the best game we've ever had,

729
00:43:40,686 --> 00:43:42,886
Speaker 1: you know, and then you get Aaron Rodgers trying to

730
00:43:42,926 --> 00:43:45,206
Speaker 1: make a comeback ends up hurting it his thumb on

731
00:43:45,286 --> 00:43:49,006
Speaker 1: that like last play on the hill, Marry or whatever. Yeah,

732
00:43:49,086 --> 00:43:51,366
Speaker 1: it turns out that had, you know, a ripple effect

733
00:43:51,366 --> 00:43:53,646
Speaker 1: and this lingering effect through the rest of the season.

734
00:43:53,726 --> 00:43:57,966
Speaker 1: But what an incredible experience for us and our crew.

735
00:43:58,006 --> 00:44:00,326
Speaker 1: I thought Laura Oakman did an excellent job. We had

736
00:44:00,406 --> 00:44:03,886
Speaker 1: Jamie hurt All. Yeah, I mean, all three of those

737
00:44:03,966 --> 00:44:07,366
Speaker 1: gals are just incredible, and it was it was so

738
00:44:07,446 --> 00:44:10,206
Speaker 1: fun just seeing the players in that kind of environment,

739
00:44:10,206 --> 00:44:12,846
Speaker 1: seeing Kevin O'Connell, a former teammate in mind, get a

740
00:44:12,926 --> 00:44:15,126
Speaker 1: huge win on the road, and when you have those

741
00:44:15,646 --> 00:44:18,166
Speaker 1: big road victories, it's one thing to do at state side,

742
00:44:18,926 --> 00:44:21,126
Speaker 1: but to know you got that long flight back. It

743
00:44:21,166 --> 00:44:23,526
Speaker 1: was so interesting to watch the two sidelines, and it

744
00:44:23,566 --> 00:44:25,686
Speaker 1: really is a tale of two sidelines. One of them

745
00:44:25,806 --> 00:44:29,206
Speaker 1: is just like, ah, the anguish and despair and like,

746
00:44:29,726 --> 00:44:31,566
Speaker 1: you know, you're just so frustrated, and then the other

747
00:44:31,566 --> 00:44:35,686
Speaker 1: side this complete elation and you know they're completely on

748
00:44:35,806 --> 00:44:39,446
Speaker 1: cloud nine, Nirvana kind of feeling. And you can tell

749
00:44:39,486 --> 00:44:41,846
Speaker 1: those plane rides would be drastically different on the way home.

750
00:44:41,846 --> 00:44:44,726
Speaker 1: But I really enjoyed those two games. Now, one of

751
00:44:44,766 --> 00:44:47,766
Speaker 1: those five games featured a former teammate of yours in

752
00:44:47,886 --> 00:44:51,566
Speaker 1: New York and Gino Smith talking about a surprise for

753
00:44:51,686 --> 00:44:54,486
Speaker 1: a lot of people. How do you think that he's

754
00:44:54,526 --> 00:44:58,166
Speaker 1: developed into the quarterback that we're seeing right now? Well,

755
00:44:58,206 --> 00:45:01,726
Speaker 1: it's it's incredible. And MJ just mentioned, you know, people

756
00:45:01,766 --> 00:45:05,006
Speaker 1: love a comeback story, and this kid was in New

757
00:45:05,086 --> 00:45:08,166
Speaker 1: York my last year there, so uh, you know, I

758
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:10,686
Speaker 1: saw him coming to the to the building with you know,

759
00:45:10,726 --> 00:45:13,486
Speaker 1: almost like pajama bottoms and slippers, and you know, I'm

760
00:45:13,566 --> 00:45:16,246
Speaker 1: kind of asking myself, like, does this guy like love this?

761
00:45:16,526 --> 00:45:18,686
Speaker 1: You know, to see like love it? You know, because

762
00:45:18,686 --> 00:45:20,726
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, one, you're probably a little

763
00:45:20,766 --> 00:45:23,566
Speaker 1: messed up in the head to go play this game.

764
00:45:24,086 --> 00:45:27,246
Speaker 1: But two, like you gotta love it when it sucks.

765
00:45:27,486 --> 00:45:31,046
Speaker 1: When training camp is terrible and it's hot and it's

766
00:45:31,126 --> 00:45:33,206
Speaker 1: sweaty and nobody wants to practice and you're tired of

767
00:45:33,206 --> 00:45:36,286
Speaker 1: practicing against your own team, Like that's when you have

768
00:45:36,366 --> 00:45:40,246
Speaker 1: to come alive and become this heartbeat of the team

769
00:45:40,326 --> 00:45:43,686
Speaker 1: that's like, boys, this is it. Turn it on for me.

770
00:45:43,886 --> 00:45:47,646
Speaker 1: Can you move these guys to be bigger than themselves?

771
00:45:47,646 --> 00:45:51,206
Speaker 1: Can you fake it yourself to make other guys, you know, rally?

772
00:45:51,446 --> 00:45:54,326
Speaker 1: And when I first met him, I told him to

773
00:45:54,366 --> 00:45:56,326
Speaker 1: his face, so it's not like I'm airing out dirty laundry.

774
00:45:56,366 --> 00:45:57,686
Speaker 1: I was just like, bro, I don't know if this

775
00:45:57,846 --> 00:46:00,206
Speaker 1: is for you, Like I don't I don't see what

776
00:46:00,206 --> 00:46:03,686
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't see that like juice, like that fire,

777
00:46:03,766 --> 00:46:06,326
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I just had had doubts about it.

778
00:46:06,366 --> 00:46:07,886
Speaker 1: If somebody told me back then and I said this

779
00:46:07,926 --> 00:46:09,606
Speaker 1: to him on our zoom before our games we had

780
00:46:09,686 --> 00:46:12,566
Speaker 1: him back to back games against the Charters and Giants,

781
00:46:13,406 --> 00:46:15,726
Speaker 1: and I was just like, dude, I'd never in a

782
00:46:15,806 --> 00:46:18,126
Speaker 1: million years if somebody told me back then that you'd

783
00:46:18,206 --> 00:46:20,606
Speaker 1: still be playing and now be starting and having the

784
00:46:20,646 --> 00:46:23,366
Speaker 1: stat line and year that you're having, I would have

785
00:46:23,446 --> 00:46:27,286
Speaker 1: bet the entire farm that that is incorrect. Wait, wait,

786
00:46:27,406 --> 00:46:29,966
Speaker 1: say to you now that He just kind of laughed,

787
00:46:29,966 --> 00:46:32,966
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is the deal? Like what happened?

788
00:46:32,966 --> 00:46:35,086
Speaker 1: What changed? Because you are not the same person. The

789
00:46:35,086 --> 00:46:38,086
Speaker 1: way you're talking to me right now, the way I

790
00:46:38,126 --> 00:46:40,686
Speaker 1: see you play, the way you're processing information, the way

791
00:46:40,726 --> 00:46:43,406
Speaker 1: you're running this offense. This is not the guy I

792
00:46:43,446 --> 00:46:45,246
Speaker 1: saw that came in. And I know guys go from

793
00:46:45,286 --> 00:46:48,566
Speaker 1: rookie to second third, fourth year guys and they become better,

794
00:46:48,606 --> 00:46:51,126
Speaker 1: but I just didn't know you even had that. I said,

795
00:46:51,166 --> 00:46:55,846
Speaker 1: you look different physically, you sound different, emotionally, you're much

796
00:46:55,886 --> 00:46:59,406
Speaker 1: more mature. And he said, dude, it's it's time. He said,

797
00:46:59,446 --> 00:47:01,446
Speaker 1: I had all the time in the world, said, I've

798
00:47:01,486 --> 00:47:03,006
Speaker 1: been in the weight room and I've been in the

799
00:47:03,006 --> 00:47:05,766
Speaker 1: film room, and I got to watch some players. He's like,

800
00:47:05,846 --> 00:47:08,726
Speaker 1: I got to be behind Philip Rivers, got to see

801
00:47:08,766 --> 00:47:11,646
Speaker 1: Eli Manning, I got to see Russell Wilson. He's like,

802
00:47:11,686 --> 00:47:14,166
Speaker 1: I got to see some great players at this position

803
00:47:14,286 --> 00:47:16,926
Speaker 1: in this sport really do it. And he's like, I

804
00:47:16,966 --> 00:47:20,246
Speaker 1: just started picking things off of them, just gleaning from them.

805
00:47:21,126 --> 00:47:23,166
Speaker 1: What do they do? We'll make some successful. Why is

806
00:47:23,206 --> 00:47:25,806
Speaker 1: Philip wired this way? And it was it was just

807
00:47:25,846 --> 00:47:28,366
Speaker 1: incredible to see his transformation. And you know, I said

808
00:47:28,446 --> 00:47:31,166
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, I said, this total makeover quarterback edition.

809
00:47:31,246 --> 00:47:33,926
Speaker 1: This is insane. And I was so happy for him

810
00:47:33,966 --> 00:47:36,206
Speaker 1: because you know, he deserves all the success in the world.

811
00:47:36,206 --> 00:47:37,606
Speaker 1: If you're gonna put that much time and do it,

812
00:47:37,686 --> 00:47:40,526
Speaker 1: sacrifice that much of your life and really give it

813
00:47:40,606 --> 00:47:42,726
Speaker 1: up for it like you deserve what he's getting now.

814
00:47:42,766 --> 00:47:45,966
Speaker 1: And it's it's proof. We'd love to see it from Gino,

815
00:47:46,086 --> 00:47:50,286
Speaker 1: especially because no one expected this, but I bet you

816
00:47:50,326 --> 00:47:51,806
Speaker 1: that he did maybe in the back of his mind,

817
00:47:51,846 --> 00:47:54,126
Speaker 1: which I like. Before we let you go here, Mark

818
00:47:54,486 --> 00:47:56,286
Speaker 1: wanted to hit you one more time since you brought

819
00:47:56,326 --> 00:47:58,846
Speaker 1: up the international player. Just got back from the Mexico game,

820
00:47:58,886 --> 00:48:01,486
Speaker 1: of course, which was incredible. You know how much the

821
00:48:01,526 --> 00:48:03,766
Speaker 1: fans there love you. Obviously you have a direct tie

822
00:48:03,766 --> 00:48:05,526
Speaker 1: here to this fan base. I know you're a big

823
00:48:05,526 --> 00:48:12,966
Speaker 1: fan of Bomas who I used to cover covering they

824
00:48:13,086 --> 00:48:18,006
Speaker 1: make he's with Telemundo there. But the atmosphere in Mexico

825
00:48:18,086 --> 00:48:21,766
Speaker 1: City at that game was like nothing I have ever

826
00:48:22,006 --> 00:48:24,686
Speaker 1: witnessed in my life. I'm sure you can speak to

827
00:48:24,806 --> 00:48:27,686
Speaker 1: just the passion of the not just the Mexican fan base,

828
00:48:27,726 --> 00:48:30,846
Speaker 1: but the Latino fan base. UM for this course, and

829
00:48:30,886 --> 00:48:33,086
Speaker 1: it's you know, I have a unique experience with that,

830
00:48:33,166 --> 00:48:38,206
Speaker 1: being um from southern California, one hundred percent Mexican Hispanic

831
00:48:39,006 --> 00:48:42,086
Speaker 1: and seeing for the first time, Uh, you know, I

832
00:48:42,126 --> 00:48:44,886
Speaker 1: grew up in Orange County, so we grew up much

833
00:48:44,926 --> 00:48:48,686
Speaker 1: more white an American, Like we didn't speak Spanish in

834
00:48:48,726 --> 00:48:50,686
Speaker 1: the house. My parents did, but I didn't really speak

835
00:48:50,726 --> 00:48:53,286
Speaker 1: katan I any words phrases here and there. But it

836
00:48:53,326 --> 00:48:57,406
Speaker 1: wasn't until I got to USC and experienced the you know,

837
00:48:57,526 --> 00:49:01,766
Speaker 1: Luca mascot us with like number six, the USC interlock,

838
00:49:01,926 --> 00:49:04,686
Speaker 1: people like shirt off with the Mexican flag on their chests,

839
00:49:04,886 --> 00:49:07,646
Speaker 1: like Sanchez on the back. Like that was the first time,

840
00:49:07,686 --> 00:49:10,166
Speaker 1: other than Demolis at Christmas, that I was like, oh

841
00:49:10,206 --> 00:49:12,966
Speaker 1: my god, this is a big deal. Then the Mexican

842
00:49:12,966 --> 00:49:16,726
Speaker 1: flag mouthpiece from our doctor, our team doctor, our team, dentist,

843
00:49:16,766 --> 00:49:20,166
Speaker 1: doctor Ross. Like then it became like this huge deal,

844
00:49:20,206 --> 00:49:22,446
Speaker 1: and I realized what kind of support and fan base

845
00:49:22,766 --> 00:49:26,086
Speaker 1: there really was, win loser draw. They're the most loyal

846
00:49:26,126 --> 00:49:30,526
Speaker 1: people like in the world, and they love, love, love

847
00:49:30,686 --> 00:49:35,766
Speaker 1: their athletes, and whether it's soccer or football, it's incredible

848
00:49:35,846 --> 00:49:38,886
Speaker 1: the kind of ovation you get, the kind of respect

849
00:49:38,886 --> 00:49:41,086
Speaker 1: they have for how much work you put into it,

850
00:49:41,286 --> 00:49:43,526
Speaker 1: and the kind of passionate energy that they can fill

851
00:49:43,566 --> 00:49:47,446
Speaker 1: a stadium with. It's unrivaled. I mean around the entire world.

852
00:49:47,486 --> 00:49:50,646
Speaker 1: It is so special. I'm so fortunate to have that

853
00:49:51,166 --> 00:49:54,006
Speaker 1: loyal fan base personally, and then for other guys to

854
00:49:54,086 --> 00:49:56,166
Speaker 1: experience it. I thought it was so funny. We had

855
00:49:56,206 --> 00:49:59,566
Speaker 1: the game for the forty nine Ers after they played

856
00:49:59,566 --> 00:50:03,086
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in Mexico City, this most recent one, and

857
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:05,806
Speaker 1: I'm at forty nine Ers practice and I hear Jimmy

858
00:50:05,846 --> 00:50:09,326
Speaker 1: g screaming over to Kittle and he goes Hoorde or hey,

859
00:50:10,726 --> 00:50:14,966
Speaker 1: he came back from Mexico. He only goes by horror Kittle,

860
00:50:15,406 --> 00:50:18,246
Speaker 1: It's awesome. And he responded right away, you know, like

861
00:50:18,286 --> 00:50:22,166
Speaker 1: a dog whistling at him, like yeah, it was so funny.

862
00:50:22,206 --> 00:50:23,886
Speaker 1: I said, what's the deal with that? He goes, oh, bro,

863
00:50:23,966 --> 00:50:27,286
Speaker 1: he's he's all in. He had so much fun Mexico game,

864
00:50:27,366 --> 00:50:31,286
Speaker 1: Like yeah he is. Now. You can't tell Kitto he's

865
00:50:31,286 --> 00:50:36,686
Speaker 1: not Mexican now. Yeah, he's conitiated in. He's in there now. Jimmy,

866
00:50:36,726 --> 00:50:39,486
Speaker 1: he knew it to him for sure. He mend below.

867
00:50:39,566 --> 00:50:43,046
Speaker 1: But I mean, he can't tell you. It can't tell

868
00:50:43,086 --> 00:50:45,766
Speaker 1: you how much the fans over there love the forty

869
00:50:45,846 --> 00:50:47,686
Speaker 1: nine ers. I love those guys, but you're right, um,

870
00:50:48,086 --> 00:50:50,246
Speaker 1: the passion and the love is unrivaled. We've talked about

871
00:50:50,246 --> 00:50:52,366
Speaker 1: it here on the podcast before Angela Johnson who was

872
00:50:52,406 --> 00:50:54,806
Speaker 1: on here um and I love that you brought that

873
00:50:54,926 --> 00:50:56,886
Speaker 1: up even though you didn't grow up speaking Spanish. That

874
00:50:56,926 --> 00:51:00,486
Speaker 1: doesn't take away your background, doesn't take away your heritage,

875
00:51:00,486 --> 00:51:04,126
Speaker 1: your family history, and your love, um for the culture.

876
00:51:04,486 --> 00:51:07,246
Speaker 1: So I think there's there's a big wave of that,

877
00:51:07,366 --> 00:51:11,486
Speaker 1: especially within like I like to call the older millennial generation.

878
00:51:11,646 --> 00:51:13,966
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, and I think there's like this

879
00:51:14,006 --> 00:51:17,006
Speaker 1: whole bounce back, right because you gotta understand, like my

880
00:51:17,086 --> 00:51:20,886
Speaker 1: parents when they grew up the nuclear for you know,

881
00:51:21,006 --> 00:51:25,966
Speaker 1: person household, speaking English and being very American, you know,

882
00:51:26,046 --> 00:51:28,686
Speaker 1: pretty cold word, cold word. Post World War two, Cold

883
00:51:28,726 --> 00:51:33,446
Speaker 1: War era, it was so important to be American, and

884
00:51:33,606 --> 00:51:38,286
Speaker 1: American meant speaking English, and that's a yeah, like Americanized.

885
00:51:38,326 --> 00:51:41,526
Speaker 1: And now we've kind of the tides kind of switched right,

886
00:51:41,606 --> 00:51:45,406
Speaker 1: and it's more important to really celebrate where you're from,

887
00:51:45,446 --> 00:51:47,846
Speaker 1: to recognize who we are as a people and where

888
00:51:47,886 --> 00:51:51,566
Speaker 1: we've come from and what we can create together. And

889
00:51:51,646 --> 00:51:54,846
Speaker 1: so like my kids in a dual emergent Spanish program,

890
00:51:54,886 --> 00:51:57,686
Speaker 1: I'd learned Spanish, you know, probably six years in the

891
00:51:57,726 --> 00:52:01,846
Speaker 1: league when I was transitioning from New York to Philadelphia.

892
00:52:02,166 --> 00:52:05,046
Speaker 1: M I mean it's become more and more important, and

893
00:52:05,166 --> 00:52:08,686
Speaker 1: seeing the different opportunities that I've had, and then sometimes

894
00:52:08,806 --> 00:52:11,606
Speaker 1: kicking myself like dang dude, like I felt like Richie

895
00:52:11,646 --> 00:52:13,806
Speaker 1: Valens and La Bamba, like I couldn't even speak Spanish

896
00:52:13,806 --> 00:52:28,406
Speaker 1: when was like I was just like yeah. Is also

897
00:52:28,686 --> 00:52:31,046
Speaker 1: remembering that all of that is also part of the

898
00:52:31,046 --> 00:52:34,206
Speaker 1: tapestry of what makes America too, So the two are

899
00:52:34,246 --> 00:52:37,086
Speaker 1: not mutually exclusive. It's right, they never have been, but

900
00:52:37,126 --> 00:52:40,326
Speaker 1: at least we're leaning into that a lot more within

901
00:52:40,406 --> 00:52:42,966
Speaker 1: the community. Thank you for that, well, you know, And

902
00:52:43,006 --> 00:52:48,206
Speaker 1: what's interesting is like I'm Will, She's MJ. Your Mark, right,

903
00:52:48,406 --> 00:52:51,126
Speaker 1: and we are all Latinos, right, And if you look

904
00:52:51,166 --> 00:52:53,806
Speaker 1: at as, you're like, whoa wait a second, are they

905
00:52:53,926 --> 00:52:55,966
Speaker 1: or aren't they? And it just goes to show you

906
00:52:56,046 --> 00:53:00,166
Speaker 1: we are as MJ mentioned, it's it's a kaleidoscope of

907
00:53:00,166 --> 00:53:05,206
Speaker 1: of colors, sizes, differences, and it's all one on And

908
00:53:05,246 --> 00:53:10,046
Speaker 1: it's really cool that you take that as a connection

909
00:53:10,086 --> 00:53:13,366
Speaker 1: that's deepened for you, Mark, where people now see you

910
00:53:13,406 --> 00:53:16,486
Speaker 1: as this Fox broadcaster and it's like, oh, metah, yes,

911
00:53:16,526 --> 00:53:21,086
Speaker 1: that's a Latino Mark Sanchez. I mean, that's that's something, right.

912
00:53:21,126 --> 00:53:26,366
Speaker 1: I mean is totally proud of that fact. Ye, it's

913
00:53:26,366 --> 00:53:28,686
Speaker 1: really cool. Mark, Thank you so so much for coming

914
00:53:28,686 --> 00:53:31,286
Speaker 1: on with us on a huddle, so much pride having

915
00:53:31,286 --> 00:53:33,126
Speaker 1: you here with us. Keep doing what you're doing and

916
00:53:33,166 --> 00:53:36,686
Speaker 1: we will see how much more. Um, I guess urbanisms

917
00:53:37,006 --> 00:53:47,166
Speaker 1: or youths teach them. There you go, You're on it.

918
00:53:48,166 --> 00:53:55,766
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, guys, we'll talk to you, said m J.

919
00:53:55,966 --> 00:53:59,366
Speaker 1: How great was it to have Mark Sanchez come in

920
00:53:59,606 --> 00:54:04,006
Speaker 1: give us his perspective, insight into what's happening in New

921
00:54:04,086 --> 00:54:08,766
Speaker 1: York with Zach Wilson, what's happening in Seattle with Gino Smith,

922
00:54:09,246 --> 00:54:14,966
Speaker 1: and also just touching upon how he feels about being

923
00:54:15,606 --> 00:54:20,366
Speaker 1: a Latino, being a Hispanic and really connecting with it

924
00:54:20,646 --> 00:54:27,646
Speaker 1: more than ever. And it's really fun, it's really inspiring.

925
00:54:27,766 --> 00:54:32,006
Speaker 1: It's really cool to see that he said, Hey, this

926
00:54:32,086 --> 00:54:34,446
Speaker 1: is who I am, this is my background. I'm going

927
00:54:34,526 --> 00:54:39,086
Speaker 1: to dive in head first, learn the language some of

928
00:54:39,166 --> 00:54:42,446
Speaker 1: my kids. The dual immersion. I mean, that's really getting

929
00:54:42,446 --> 00:54:45,526
Speaker 1: in there right. Yeah. I think the biggest thing I

930
00:54:45,606 --> 00:54:48,206
Speaker 1: gleaned from from our conversation with markus that you can

931
00:54:48,846 --> 00:54:53,126
Speaker 1: sometimes even just existing in these spaces as somebody who

932
00:54:53,126 --> 00:54:56,846
Speaker 1: comes from from a Latino background is enough to make

933
00:54:56,846 --> 00:54:59,886
Speaker 1: a huge impact, right because you don't have to you know,

934
00:55:00,366 --> 00:55:03,686
Speaker 1: tattoo it on your chest, store carry around your flag

935
00:55:03,846 --> 00:55:06,846
Speaker 1: or only speaks Anish to portray the fact that you

936
00:55:06,886 --> 00:55:08,646
Speaker 1: are part of the community and that you love the

937
00:55:08,646 --> 00:55:11,766
Speaker 1: culture and that you are representative of that. So I

938
00:55:11,806 --> 00:55:13,766
Speaker 1: think more and more people are realizing that we don't

939
00:55:13,806 --> 00:55:16,766
Speaker 1: have to be caricatures of ourselves or fall into all

940
00:55:16,766 --> 00:55:19,486
Speaker 1: these stereotypes to really make an impact for the community

941
00:55:19,486 --> 00:55:23,286
Speaker 1: and to show that representation. And Mark so so eloquently

942
00:55:23,326 --> 00:55:26,366
Speaker 1: said that justin sharing his background, and think he even

943
00:55:26,406 --> 00:55:29,606
Speaker 1: realized that that's what he was portraying. But it's important,

944
00:55:30,366 --> 00:55:32,766
Speaker 1: especially for the younger generation of folks who may not

945
00:55:32,966 --> 00:55:35,686
Speaker 1: grow up with the same things that you and I did.

946
00:55:35,726 --> 00:55:38,006
Speaker 1: For example, will Ye to know that it doesn't take

947
00:55:38,006 --> 00:55:41,886
Speaker 1: away their quote unquote lapinia whatever that even means, than

948
00:55:41,966 --> 00:55:44,846
Speaker 1: to just lean into the culture for what it represents

949
00:55:44,886 --> 00:55:47,286
Speaker 1: to them. So those are the conversations that I love

950
00:55:47,326 --> 00:55:50,446
Speaker 1: to have on here while we're just living our lives

951
00:55:50,446 --> 00:55:53,246
Speaker 1: and loving the game of football. Yeah, absolutely, we're going

952
00:55:53,286 --> 00:55:57,286
Speaker 1: to put a little bow here on the podcast with

953
00:55:57,486 --> 00:56:01,206
Speaker 1: Ibunto and for me, I Bunto is the fact that

954
00:56:01,606 --> 00:56:07,566
Speaker 1: Week thirteen has so many compelling matchups across the board

955
00:56:07,886 --> 00:56:11,806
Speaker 1: that I cannot wait to see how it's all going

956
00:56:11,886 --> 00:56:17,486
Speaker 1: to play out. Playoff positions, players facing their former teams,

957
00:56:18,926 --> 00:56:27,166
Speaker 1: teams that are just dynamic with their offenses. Ibunto, Week thirteen,

958
00:56:27,486 --> 00:56:30,606
Speaker 1: give me more, please, I can't wait for us next

959
00:56:30,646 --> 00:56:34,486
Speaker 1: week to talk about it. I think for me, Ibunto

960
00:56:34,686 --> 00:56:36,286
Speaker 1: is and you touched on it a bit. It's the

961
00:56:36,406 --> 00:56:38,726
Speaker 1: playoff picture. This is the time of the year where

962
00:56:38,726 --> 00:56:42,126
Speaker 1: it really starts to get into focus, where these games

963
00:56:42,166 --> 00:56:44,686
Speaker 1: down the stretch count and they count for a lot,

964
00:56:45,046 --> 00:56:47,366
Speaker 1: not just playoff seating, but from the type of run

965
00:56:47,406 --> 00:56:49,166
Speaker 1: that we can see a lot of these teams make.

966
00:56:49,206 --> 00:56:51,166
Speaker 1: I mean, for love of god, look at the forty

967
00:56:51,246 --> 00:56:53,646
Speaker 1: nine ers. They're the three seat in the NFC. I mean,

968
00:56:53,686 --> 00:56:55,686
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, a lot of people thought, well,

969
00:56:55,766 --> 00:56:58,366
Speaker 1: maybe they won't even make maybe a playoff push. But

970
00:56:58,806 --> 00:57:03,286
Speaker 1: every single week this league shifts more and more and

971
00:57:03,566 --> 00:57:06,406
Speaker 1: NFC East take a bow. Every single one of you

972
00:57:06,446 --> 00:57:10,086
Speaker 1: in the playoff victims right now. Unbelievable. This is a

973
00:57:10,166 --> 00:57:13,766
Speaker 1: division that we were calling the NFC least last year.

974
00:57:13,926 --> 00:57:17,326
Speaker 1: If you recall. So I love a glow up, I

975
00:57:17,446 --> 00:57:21,686
Speaker 1: love a transition, and don't count people out until the end.

976
00:57:21,766 --> 00:57:24,286
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you since Natty, I see you. I

977
00:57:24,326 --> 00:57:26,526
Speaker 1: see I was getting some slack from Bengals fans last

978
00:57:26,566 --> 00:57:28,366
Speaker 1: week because I said, well, how is it an upset

979
00:57:28,446 --> 00:57:31,526
Speaker 1: that the Titans could beat them? I wasn't saying anything

980
00:57:31,566 --> 00:57:33,566
Speaker 1: bad about the Bengals, for the love of God, they

981
00:57:33,566 --> 00:57:36,326
Speaker 1: were just in the Super Bowl. I'm just saying that

982
00:57:37,006 --> 00:57:40,646
Speaker 1: teams are playing each other tough, so you can never

983
00:57:40,966 --> 00:57:45,006
Speaker 1: ever sleep on anybody. Now, Punt, I like it. I

984
00:57:45,046 --> 00:57:50,166
Speaker 1: think we'll end it just like that. Please make sure
