00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,040

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: we gave almost Halloween, you know for our listeners. They

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: should just be aware that Dan's doing this show um

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: in a somewhat distracting way with a killer doll behind

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: his right shoulder. His name is his name is Sam.

19
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: He's not a doll. He's like half boy, half alien,

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: and my children because these are the dark days of society,

21
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: and can't really go out or do anything. On the iPad,

22
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: they watch a lot of YouTube videos of the famous

23
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Spirit Halloween warehouse stores that pop up in the fall

24
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: all across the country, and they became so obsessed with

25
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: the different animatronics at the store that they learned all

26
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: of their names by heart. Like I could bring in

27
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Jack right now and he could just tell you every

28
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: single one of them. And one of them is Sam,

29
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: who is um a yeah, half boy, half demon that

30
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: comes out on Halloween night and visits one town every

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: Halloween night, and you have to follow these certain rules

32
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: that he sets and if you don't, he punishes you

33
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: with definitely belie. It's a rated our film called Trigger

34
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Treat My Children. Thankfully, Child Services says have not seen it,

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: but this will be Jack's Halloween costume as well. Deed,

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: his grandmother made a really incredible effects Emily Well, I mean,

37
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: every boy should have his heroes. So a boy demon

38
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: um mash up feels appropriate for a seven or eight

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: year old, six year old it feels like a year

40
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Sam Sam take on Los Angeles. It's very confusing though,

41
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: like no one really knows what counts as Los Angeles.

42
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: Um so it's a lot of people. Nobody knows. Sam.

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: It's like, does it end that thousand oaks? Like is

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: that count as it? Or like, I don't really know.

45
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: It's that's how you can get Sam. Wait, I missed

46
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: that entire thing. What does it have to do with

47
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: the city limits? Well, he said, he comes, he visits

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: one town every I don't know where it ends. There's

49
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot of work. Sam's gonna be like, there's a

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of sprawl here. Who the voice is concerning? Colleen,

Speaker 1: good show. Today, we're gonna recap Monday Night Football as

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: thrilling as that affair was between the Rams and Bears.

54

Speaker 1: We're gonna preview Thursday Night Football, mark a showdown between

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: it is Halloween on Saturday, and obviously this is a

59
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: huge deal in a house with two boys here, um,

60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: and we are going to have a little Halloween fun

61
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: on today's show. Terrifying thoughts in the NFL, and uh Ricky,

62
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: speaking of terrifying thoughts, you answered the door for a

63
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: potential serial killer and handed him a knife on Sunday's podcast.

64
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: So where are we at on that? And that had happened? Folks?

65
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: That everything I just said was not an exaggle. I

66
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know if the guy is a serial murder, but

67
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: you did open the door for a stranger who looked

68
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: unbalanced and handed him a stabbing tool. Yeah. I mean

69
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: what started as a ha haha, WTF moment during the

70
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: pod ended up being very very scary and for I

71
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: want to clear something up. I did not hand him

72
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: a knife. I did offer to because my place is

73
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: situated off the road, right, so when the only people

74
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: that come back here are people that live here. Again, Yeah,

75
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: this guy was in the unit next door. He was

76
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: moving in next door. He was in the physical unit

77
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: he was inside it came asked me for a broom

78
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: earlier when I first moved to my apartment. I deep

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: cleaned it before I moved in, So all these things

80
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: are making sense. When he comes, he has a frozen

81
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: pizza that's already cooked, but he doesn't have silverware because

82
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: he just moved in classic crazy person move to me

83
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: A yes, wasn't naive? Yes do I so he you

84
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: offered him, but he didn't take the knife. I was like,

85
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: just borrow it because I was doing the show. I

86
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: was like, and he came to my window and was like,

87
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: had this frozen pizza that wasn't cut It was like

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: a little Amy's frozen pizza and it was cooked. And

89
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: I ended up cutting the pizza for him, and he

90
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: did kind of force himself inside my house and it

91
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: could have been really, really bad. And we ended up

92
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: finding out from the landlord that the unit was vacant,

93
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: so not only was he in the apartment next door,

94
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: came into my place. The police were here till late

95
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: into the wee hours of the morning. On Sunday night,

96
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: Eddie Spaghetti rushed over. It ended up being, you know what,

97
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: was kind of funny during the podcast turning into something

98
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: that could have been really really serious and Big John

99
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: stud Tampose was not happy your old man's was not

100
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: happy your behavior either. I mean, you were in a

101
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: tough spot. It's hard to react, especially when you're in

102
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the middle of you know, producing essentially a live program.

103
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: But he wasn't happy. Well at least we know he's vegan,

104
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, so he's keeping himself healthy. Those are vegan

105
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: pizzas and nice guy. My thing is like I've I've

106
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: been alone, like in the house for a day or two,

107
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: and I've cooked a frozen pizza. And I mean, I

108
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: guess because like I have the utensils around, I'll just

109
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: cut it in half. And why am I cutting it

110
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: into fourteen slices? If I'm alone, I still have to

111
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: cut it in half. So he did me a full pizza,

112
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: which I would just pick it up and eat it.

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: I would pizza. Nothing happened. A lot of alarm bells

114
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: were going off at this point. But it was also

115
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: like to me, I was like he's the new neighbor.

116
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: He was physically inside the apartment, Like to me, it's

117
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: been empty. I was doing all of these sort of

118
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm I'm in a place where people

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: walk by my house all day and some guys like hey,

120
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and people live next And if my mom rang the

121
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: doorbell during a podcast, I'm not answering it, like she

122
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: can wait till it's over. Well, that see, that's how

123
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: men are taught to know. That's that's how Greg is taught,

124
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: especially with my mom. We haven't spoken in like seventeen years,

125
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: So shut up, Amy. I have many questions that I

126
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: won't talk well, I won't ask them all right now,

127
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: but we're going to have to talk more offline about this. Yeah.

128
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: I actually spent like all day in bed yesterday. I

129
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: was very upset, Like I was very I'm very upset.

130
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: One underlying sort of silver lining here. I mean, can

131
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: you imagine during a pandemic, Dan and Greg if we

132
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: had to somehow find a new producer on the fly

133
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: over the court between Sunday and Tuesday's show, the inconvenience

134
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: that it would have caused, um, the three of us

135
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: would have been that's a near tragedy, right, Yeah, what

136
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: stress you would have been under? That would have been?

137
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't it would have been the tipping. I don't

138
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: even know Nobile's number. Right, All right, let's get into it.

139
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: We're glad you're okay, Erica. Just I didn't hand him

140
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: a knife. I thank you for clearing that up. Would

141
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: your neighbor that you thought you was your new neighbor

142
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: if they needed utensils? Like to me, I know it

143
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: sounded crazy, but I was doing all this deductive reasoning

144
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: in my head. And you're a good Samaritan. I mean,

145
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: the guy it was, it was legitimately a coin flip

146
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: that he was a psychopath and you did let him

147
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: into the house, but that that's I didn't. I opened

148
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: the door and then he was standing outside and I

149
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, w t F, I'll

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: go cut this pizza. And then I hear the door

151
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: shut and he's in, like, oh my god, this is

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: my worst nightmare. What yes, stop it? Yeah, And you

153
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: guys are on the you guys are on the screen

154
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: going like Erica, Erica, but you couldn't see anything not

155
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: running into a dateline episode, right, all right, let's just

156
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: let's purge our minds of that horrific situation. Glad it

157
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: all worked out. Um, all right, let's get to Monday

158
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: night football. My goodness, half the Halloween. Everybody gosh, Gerald

159
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: ever and and he walks into the end zone, touchdown,

160
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: rash pushing all the right buttons. Tonight, this Sean McVeigh

161
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: Ricky is still alive. We're very lucky that's the case.

162
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: She shouldn't have opened the door bell at Rams twenty

163
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: four Chicago Bears ten uh the Rams use a defense

164
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: that would not let Nick Foles get going. Uh, to

165
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: keep the Bears out of the end zone on office,

166
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: They're only score Chicago came on a defensive bumble recovery

167
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: and even that, somehow it was boring. The Bears are

168
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: the worst or at least at least the most boring

169
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: five and two team I can remember the Rams all. So, now,

170
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: what were your takeaways from this affair? Well, watching it,

171
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: I just feel like the identity of this Rams team

172
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: is now the defense completely. Like Jalen Ramsey was so aggressive,

173
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: he had he had that pick. He was so physical.

174
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: You had Aaron Donald. They were able to just get

175
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: home so quick to Nick Foles. They sacked him four

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: times twice by Leonard four Net, which was the actual

177
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: sneaky revenge game angle that everybody was talking about. Oh,

178
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Nick Foles revenge game. Leonard Floyd, that was the revenge

179
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: game and he exacted some there twice. He sacked Nick

180
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: Foles in the game. But the Bears offense, like, ah,

181
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: it was just so ugly to to watch this game.

182
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: So many stretches. I mean, they really couldn't move the ball.

183
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: They had fewer than three hundred total yards in the

184
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: whole game, and it just felt like against this Rams defense,

185
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: they really got exposed for what they are. Like Chicago's defense,

186
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: it's good, but it's not dominant enough to carry this

187
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: Bears team throughout an entire game anymore. They did a

188
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: good job, but they're they're doing it with zero help,

189
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: and that's just not sustainable. I've been saying this all year.

190
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: They're just you can't win the way the Bears are

191
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: trying to win. They don't want to try to win

192
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: this way because there's no defense that's that even the

193
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: best defenses, I would put the Bears in the top

194
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: four or five. They can give up thirty any week,

195
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: Like everyone loves the Steelers defense is great. You can

196
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: give up. You can go seven to Carson Wentz and

197
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of ham and eggers, you can

198
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: give up. You know, the Bucks can give up a

199
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: lot of points in any given week. You gotta have

200
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: an offense. Is the is the point, and Matt Naggi

201
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: is in a tough spot because he doesn't have a

202
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and he doesn't have an offensive line. I think

203
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: that's been lost a little bit this year. Their line,

204
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: which they've basically kept together for three or four years,

205
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and it's always been okay, it improved, I would say

206
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years, it's been terrible. This year.

207
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: They have no running games. David David Montgomery has no

208
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: juice whatsoever. He never makes a guy miss, never breaks

209
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: the tackle, and so you have Folds back there telling

210
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: Brian Greasy that he knows um when the play is

211
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: called in like if it's a seventh step drop to go,

212
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, throw to Alan Robinson, like he's not gonna

213
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: have time to throw it. And I think people way

214
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: overreacted to the to what this quote meant. It was

215
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: just obvious, Like I don't think it was even like

216
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: um a bad thing in terms of Matt Maggie's coaching.

217
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: It's just like we'll watch them play. Of course he

218
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: knows he doesn't have time on a five or steven

219
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: step drop. It literally happens every play And doesn't mean

220
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: you have to you stop calling those plays because you

221
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: just have to if you watch those games, they just

222
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: don't have any solutions. I mean, I like, it's not

223
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: great coaching. I mean we're you know, we're years into

224
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: Matt Nige and to me, uh, you know, he was

225
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: hired from the Andy Reid you know Tree, this nice

226
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: little branch off that Tree to come bring offense to

227
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: a Bears team that has done this before. I mean,

228
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the eighth incarnation of the

229
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: Bears team that relies on d defense to generate um,

230
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: not just you know, juice, but points that you can't

231
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: win typically in Chicago unless the defense scores. And the

232
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: only way they even climbed vaguely back into the contest

233
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: last night was a defensive score. And I guess I'm

234
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: tired of it. And I feel a little bit like

235
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: when you critique the Bears on you know, during a

236
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: game like this, their fans come at you real hard.

237
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: And I get it. It's it's rough to watch your

238
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: team getting its butt trouns on national television. But it's

239
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: also fair to critique a Bears team that deserves to

240
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: give more to its fan base. I mean, I just

241
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more with you on David Montgomery. I

242
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: feel like we've mentioned him before that, you know, all

243
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: offseason long, it's like this guy better be you know,

244
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: on your radar and fantasy drafts. The Bears want to

245
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: run the ball, but it ran the ball for like

246
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: two point three yards per carry. It's the same story

247
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: every week. But they they team builded this roster for

248
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: this moment. They went into the season with a bunch

249
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: of bluster about you know, Mitch Robinsky and Nick Foles,

250
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: and it's exhaust seen at this point. I mean, I

251
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: think we saw this coming in March April, and may

252
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean in the Rams. The Rams. Also, the team's

253
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: combined to go eight for seven on third down, so

254
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: the Rams like offense has some issues too. And I

255
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: still feel like, you know, tell me if I'm wrong,

256
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: because we're in l A and you I listened to

257
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot of l A talk radio and Jared Goff

258
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: gets mentioned a bunch here and there. But I feel

259
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: like nationally he doesn't receive some of the critique that

260
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: he should um in terms of the fact. I wonder

261
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: if it's because he's just because he's like his haircut,

262
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: he's just solid. He's there, He's a little bit better

263
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: than average if you if you protect him, well, he's

264
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: like an inoffensive Banana republic ad. I think he's just

265
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: to critique. He's like he's good, he's okay, like he right, solid,

266
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: is strong. He had he's viewed as baby being sort

267
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: of baby sat by Sean McVeigh. So you have to

268
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: critique Sean McVeigh, which does not happen in the NFL.

269
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: Very good offense. They're not great. They're like, you're like

270
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: six or seventh and d v o A. They're like

271
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: great in term to the running game. You we can

272
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: team up with how they run the ball more than

273
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: you guys know a great run game. They're the best.

274
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: They're the most efficient running game in the league in

275
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: terms of like per play, they're they're they're a great

276
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: running team. I don't know about great. The Trabinsky full

277
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: situation is tough because Nick Foles really, uh, that much

278
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: better than Trabinsky, And it did cross my mind, like

279
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Matt Naggy is getting killed now and you could feel

280
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: like the pressure coming from the Bears fan base. It's

281
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: kind of like an Adam Gates light situation to me,

282
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: where you could feel that kind of negativity creeping around

283
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: that organization. Now, But Naggie did get Trabinsky drafted, and

284
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: we don't need to relitigate that situation. Uh. And then

285
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: Nick Foles comes in and he's not the same player anymore,

286
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: Like what what chance did he have to really get

287
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: this offense cooking. I don't know, because quarterback plays so

288
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: important and Monday night, like that game jumps out to me,

289
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Colleen that like in in our league, uh, Troy Aikman,

290
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: all rights reserved. You have to have a quarterback that

291
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: can move and and when things if you're if you

292
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: can't scheme up guys open and you can't if your

293
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: playmakers can't win one on one matchups, you have to

294
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: have a backup plan now because the league is too

295
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: strong and too fast. Coming after the quarterback full sitting

296
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: back there like a statue, it's just like there's just

297
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: no there's no pop, there's no juice. Well, especially in

298
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: this game against the Rams pass rush, because you would think, okay,

299
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: if Nick Foles is going to be in this game

300
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: and he can't get out of trouble in the interior

301
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of that offensive line as questionable as it is, let's

302
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: try and neutralize some of that pass rush by running

303
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: the ball. But obviously, as you guys pointed out, like

304
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: it just hasn't happened all season long. Coming into the

305
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: game the previous three weeks, the Bears were averaging forty

306
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: two rushing yards per game. No other team in the

307
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: entire league had fewer than sixty four rushing yards. So

308
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: last night, what do they do, same thing? I mean

309
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: they total forty nine rushing yards, twenty in the first half.

310
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: That's not how you get it on And obviously when

311
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: you're behind, you're not gonna be able to run the ball,

312
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: but like from the jump, maybe try and get it

313
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: going a little bit there and help out Nick Foles,

314
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: because that's a lot what the Rams do with Jared Golf.

315
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: They built stuff off of the run, and Golf was methodical.

316
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: He spread the ball around a seven different pass catchers.

317
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: They mixed it up on offense, they were balanced, they

318
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: round the ball. Five different guys were able to carry

319
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: the ball. So this bears offense. It just doesn't move

320
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: the needle at all. And Matt Naggie's in a really

321
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: bad spot now because what are you gonna do. You

322
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: can't go back to Mitch Drabinski right Well, they're back

323
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: to back coaches of the year McVeigh and and Naggie.

324
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah they could, and they might not much change anything,

325
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: but why not. Bols didn't earn anything in Chicago, hasn't.

326
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you rotate the guys in and out every week. There,

327
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: you're right there, there's no solution, but you're to point

328
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: between McVeigh and Naggy. I think is is a smart

329
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: one and the organization like they built the right team.

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: I mean, Golf has no mobility either, although he's approved

331
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: a little bit uh in that realm. I think this

332
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: year he's made a couple off platform throws he did

333
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: last night. Um, but like when you're getting Johnny Mutt

334
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: and Josh Reynolds involved with big plays like that does

335
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: show the difference in terms of the coaching and the

336
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: team building. The Rams can still have a pretty respectable

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: offense with you know, not necessarily the best talent in

338
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: the league, and the Bears are just I think Goff's

339
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: lack of ability hurts that offense too. He I think

340
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: he's a better version of what Nick bole. He wasn't

341
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: sharp part of a lot of times games come down

342
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: to who comes down with like free balls at Goff

343
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: could have had three turnovers. There are two plays he

344
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: could have been picked. He had a fumble that the

345
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: Rams recovered, whereas the Rams kind of you know, did

346
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: capitalize on their turn over opportunity. Turn opportunities on defense.

347
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: So it's like it wasn't that a difference. It's like

348
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: like seven years away from twenty three quarterbacks essentially being

349
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: sort of Kyler Murray clones and the Jared Goff's in

350
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: the Nick Foles of the world, and even some of

351
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: I look at someone like Baker Mayfield, who isn't really

352
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: a scrambler. I mean, that's a liability at quarterback half

353
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: a decade from now, if not now already. And so

354
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is changing, and someone like Nick Foles

355
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: looks like he was thrust to us from three decades ago.

356
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: And let's give before we move on, let's give a

357
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: little love to a man that should be going to

358
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, Johnny Hecker. And I know Ray

359
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: guys a punter that that's in the All of Fame.

360
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anyone else, but Hecker has

361
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: been incredible, uh for the Rams his entire career and

362
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: in a game that was pretty boring, and that was

363
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: one of the kind of uh narratives on Twitters like

364
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: this game sucks. You had Johnny Hecker punt five times,

365
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: each punt dropping in getting down inside the ten yard line,

366
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: especially in a game like that, a low scoring, you know,

367
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: field position driven game. The man is like a nuclear weapon,

368
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I just enjoyed seeing Hecker have a moment there.

369
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: That was fun. And not only that, just real quick

370
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: before we wrap it up, like, I'm really curious to

371
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: see how good this Rams team actually is when they

372
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: start playing real competition within their own division. I mean,

373
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: we saw what they lost to the Niners, but they

374
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: have five wins, four of them are against NFC East teams,

375
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, that's fair, that's fair. This is

376
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: a good win. Bears have, Bears have beaten good teams

377
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: like the Bucks. So just just to get it done

378
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: and get it convincing, it's good for them. But you're

379
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I am curious, like when I'm thinking of

380
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: like what's the Rams weakness And to me, it's just

381
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: like they're in a they're in a conference with in

382
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: a in a league with like super sensational offenses. I

383
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: don't know if they're there, they're like they're pretty good,

384
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're like Jared Goff, They're pretty good. That's

385
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: what they were two years ago. All right, that's Monday

386
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: Night football. Before we get to terrifying thoughts, uh Mark

387
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: mentioned his Browns and Baker Mayfield. Mayfield will not have

388
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham for the rest of the year. We talked

389
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: about it on Sunday Show. Beckham was injured Mayfield through

390
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: an interception on the Cleveland's first drive of the game

391
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: in Sunday's win against Cincinnati. During the rundown of that

392
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: interception run back, Odell gets his knee banged up. It

393
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: turns out, of course, Uh to be a torn a

394
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: c l So hopefully he's back healthy and ready for one.

395
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: Do you buy into its Seessler? I think you tweeted

396
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: something along these lines on Twitter? Do you buy into

397
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: the idea? And obviously at stinks for Beckham, who when

398
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: he's when he's right as an electrifying talent, but that

399
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: he ever that he never really made Baker better. And

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: can you connect dots between Beckham going out on Sunday

401
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: for instance, and then uh Mayfield going off. Well, I

402
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a small sample size. I mean

403
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: I retweeted someone who just put the basic numbers of

404
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: what Baker um produced without Odell Beckham from when he

405
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: came into the league till now and with and and

406
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: there were some stark differences. I mean, I never would

407
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: say that taking a all pro level wide receiver off

408
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: your roster will make any team better. But this is

409
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: just conjecture. But I just kind of feel like the

410
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: Baker O'Dell thing Um was engined off a lot of

411
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: force throws last season and this year was um. They

412
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: did a better job with it. They got Odell Beckham

413
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: involved in a different way. But I can't remember, you know,

414
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: two or three games in a row, I mean really

415
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: even two where you said that Baker Nodell Beckham were

416
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: on the same page. Uh. He Baker has looked much

417
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: better with guys like Richard Higgins Um who had a

418
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: hundred yards in the last game, guys like Richard perrimanen

419
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: I And I don't know what that means. I think

420
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: that the one little other thing that jumps out to

421
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: me with Baker Mayfield, I think he needs to be

422
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: and whether or not you agree that he is this,

423
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: I just think he needs to kind of be the

424
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: alpha male, the alpha dog in the room. And when

425
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: we bring in Odell Beckham, I mean, you're adding great talent,

426
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: but I think it kind of changed the dynamic of

427
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: what Baker's role was. I think he was sort of

428
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: clearly catering to Odell Beckham a year ago and feeling

429
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: the pressure around that. I don't know, I mean football strange.

430
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Maybe sometimes you remove someone from the mix and the

431
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: chemistry is altered and um, more players get involved. They

432
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: had a lot more players involved last game and they

433
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: needed to um and they're gonna keep needing too. But

434
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't think removing it makes you a better team, right.

435
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: I think two things can be true. That they're worse

436
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: without Odell Beckham and that the Baker Mayfield Odell Beckham

437
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: thing has been a you know, disappointment. Not you know,

438
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: it's unfortunately he got injured, but Odell, you know, was

439
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: on pace for under a thousand yards this year before

440
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: the injury. It just wasn't in an efficient connection. And

441
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: I know Adell was playing through an injury, but he

442
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: played all last year and there were so many drop

443
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: passes and bad you know, interceptions that the interception that

444
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: Odell got hurt on was it was a throw to Adell.

445
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the answer for that is,

446
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: but it's just it wasn't in a efficient connection. I

447
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: don't think it makes them better, but I like Baker

448
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: to O'Dell wasn't working. I'm curious if Baker to everyone

449
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: else can work better when they're not playing the Bengals

450
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: like that. That's a bigger question. Um. Yeah, any any

451
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: other thoughts on that county. It's just like such a

452
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: bummer with all of the injuries we've seen all season

453
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: long to so many of the big names, and this

454
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: is just another one added to the long, long crazy.

455
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: It feels like everyone especially I mean, this isn't the case,

456
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: but it just feels that way, like the elite guys,

457
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: someone you're gonna pop in a c L at some

458
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: point and Backham. One of his issues, uh really since

459
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: his Giants heyday has been staying healthy. He's always been hurt. Uh,

460
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate now that he gets hit by the

461
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: a c L monster. I think he turns twenty eighth

462
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: next month. Um, so he's gonna long rehab ahead of him.

463
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: Don't you think back to like I think to with

464
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: West on our podcast, you know where we wish West

465
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: was on the show today, But just talking about like that,

466
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: O'Dell has an all time great talking about that year

467
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: by the way of Johnny Hecker as an all time

468
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: great too, that that season was heckers like m v

469
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: P year and now it's just through bad luck and

470
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: then the trade and every thing like well, I remember

471
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: west career has totally changed. When we did Sandwich Props

472
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: ahead of the twenty nineteen season, coming off the summer

473
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: Brown's hype, West had predicted that Beckham was going to

474
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: set the touchdown records. So that's kind of where things

475
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: were in terms of hype. And West obviously was a

476
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: guy that knows his stuff like you was right. He

477
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: he had one of the past four years to start

478
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: a career. Ever it all, I kind of made sense

479
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: that it was going to happen. It just never has

480
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: and who knows if it ever will. Um? All right, Dan,

481
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: I cannot stop um peering at this boy demon over

482
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: your shoulder. I'm sorry, it's just slightly disturbing. Keep the

483
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: happy lollipop. Is it more disturbing than when I filled

484
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: out my my general election ballot before today's show? And

485
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: Kanye West was one of the options as vice president? Yeah,

486
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: but I thought he was running for president because I

487
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: thought the same thing when I filled out my ballot yesterday.

488
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: Didn't he flip? He became the undercard to that to

489
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: some other he didn't realize that that's the thing that happened.

490
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, It's funny, like if you would have told me,

491
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: let's say, you know, after college dropout, maybe late registration

492
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: around two thousand five, like, oh, Kanye for president. M

493
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I think there's some things that would potentially make sense

494
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: about that, But as time has gone on, I just

495
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think Greg. I don't think he's

496
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: the answer. I don't you know. We we've been, um,

497
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: we've been promoting NFL votes. It's like, yeah, NFL votes

498
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: except for Kanye, but yeah, check out check out l

499
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: a vote dot net. If you're nearby. There's this website

500
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: that shows you how long the weight is that all

501
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: the early voting centers I'm going today, I'm excited for that,

502
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: and they're all under fifteen minutes at least today. There.

503
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: I was in and out yesterday, which if that should

504
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: be the case for everybody everywhere. But the one thing

505
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: that I really felt like it was a bad omen

506
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: was as we left the voting center, there was just

507
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: a brush fire that had started out of nowhere and

508
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: was like starting to rage on the side of the road,

509
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: and no fire trucks were there yet or anything, so

510
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: like that that was something that was scary. Yeah, don't

511
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: don't love that symbolism. All right, let's let's get into it. Yes, Um,

512
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. We're almost halfway through the regular season now,

513
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: and I always like, you know, some of the you know,

514
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: if you're kind of a generic bro, you're gonna say, hey,

515
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: season don't really start till after Thanksgiving. Like, I mean,

516
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: that's what we've been saying, Hey, decease, don't even watch

517
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: till the turkey serbed. That's that's very normal, Princess. It

518
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: is something FRANCESSA would say from his godfather Bill p

519
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: ourselves started right, But I think what Francess and whomever

520
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: else that was more like that's when you really start

521
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: to see who were the true elite teams and all

522
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: the separation happens. But for me, Halloween is a really

523
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: good time to take a take a look at kind

524
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: of where everybody is, uh, And we're going to kind

525
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: of do that in a segment we call terrifying Thoughts. Now,

526
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: these thoughts everybody could be terrifying in a negative way

527
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: for a team or in a positive way for a team,

528
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: and more terrifying for the opposition. So it could go

529
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: positive negative. Let's get going here with Greg Rosal. All right, um,

530
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go positive at least in terms of the

531
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. And think if you're an NFC contender

532
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: and you find out over the next week that the

533
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers have added Stefan Gilmore to the mix.

534
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: Albert Brier reporting that the Patriots have been listening to

535
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: offers for Stefan Gilmore. And you think about this Green

536
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: Bay Packers team with j Are Alexander maybe the best

537
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: shutdown corner on one side. Then you add Stefan Gilmore,

538
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: who's probably looking for some money on the other side,

539
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: and suddenly Mike Patton can cook up all the things

540
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: he wants to do. It doesn't matter that you run.

541
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: Defense is bad. Terrifying? What let me ask you this, Greg,

542
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: because that is terrifying. It's terrifying to think that the

543
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: Patriots are just giving up and starting over, because why

544
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: would you step on Gilmore. I know he hasn't been

545
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: quite as good this year, but this is the reigning

546
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: defensive player of the year. He's still I believe twenty

547
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: eight or so. This seems like a guy that should

548
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: be around in the building, but they are potentially ready

549
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: to just tear it down. Well, I think you gotta

550
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: look at where do these reports come from? And I

551
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: think Stephan Gilmore wants to get paid more. He's actually

552
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: thirty dan and he's not gonna be um a free

553
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: agent for another two years. I think, you know, this

554
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: year and then in the next season, and he's relatively underpaid.

555
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Is he gonna ever get that big payday? Again? Who

556
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: is floating this out there? The Patriots seem unlikely to

557
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: just give him a monster deal. They did just give

558
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: him out of the kindness of their heart, you know,

559
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: for Belichick five extra billion dollars this year, kind of

560
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the Gronk deal of like, hey, we know you're wildly underpaid,

561
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: will give you a little bump um. But he might

562
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: know he's not getting that big extension with the Patriots,

563
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: and that makes sense. I love the idea of this

564
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: swap because you know, if Mike Petton's defense, which has

565
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: seems to have issues wherever it occurs, when it thrives though,

566
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: you think back to Cromarty and Rivas Island together. Now

567
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: that was Rex and Petting together, and they can they

568
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: can argue about who did what. But that's that's what

569
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: Mike Petton defense is to shut down type corners. And

570
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean Richard Seymour. You look at guys in New

571
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: England that have been shipped out when people still found

572
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: them extremely effective. That's the bell and sometimes they trade

573
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: them during a Super Bowl season. It's happened. They're good players.

574
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't put anything past is at the same

575
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: level as a Gilmore though this is the first team.

576
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean like a Chandler Jones that was before a

577
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl year. I mean they were gone into first

578
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: didn't he from Raiders? It is wild that, like we're

579
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: sitting in this position where the Patriots are talking about

580
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: trading one of their best defensive players, Like that's just

581
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: so of the league. Mm hmm true that, Colleen, you're up.

582
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:28,239
Speaker 1: Oh okay, great. So, UM, I may have taken this

583
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: in a wrong direction. Um, I just did general terrifying thoughts.

584
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to do before Greg, before we

585
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: decide whether it works. Let's hear what college says first. Okay, alright, so, uh,

586
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: the first terrifying thought that really popped to my head

587
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: was a really frightening one. Um, and it's how we

588
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: will all be spending our Week eight in prime time. Really,

589
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: we're just gonna suffer together because three NFC East teams

590
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: are in the prime time windows of this week, and

591
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: the scariest of all Sunday Night football. We got Cowboys

592
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: at Eagles, Carson Wentz and I guess Ben Denucci. I mean,

593
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: as if that isn't enough of a complete horror show,

594
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: then Monday Night football we have Giants at Bucks. So

595
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: it's obviously a truly chilling division. In fact, it's the

596
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: first division in the history of the entire NFL without

597
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: a three win team through Week seven, so it's historically scary,

598
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: and I think most blood curdling of all is we're

599
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: sentenced to watch one of these teams continue in the postseason.

600
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to lean on each other through this,

601
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, really terrifyingly scary time and just stay strong

602
00:32:52,240 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: because everything is very sinister. It's great, okay, absolutely, I

603
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: mean this is this is so grim and I'll give

604
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: you a little like preview of a terrifying thought on

605
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: my own. The Bears and Rams have played in prime

606
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: time against each other three years in a row. We

607
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: don't need any of that anymore either. I think it's time.

608
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: And this again, if West was here, he would absolutely

609
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: jump in um. But it's time to take a step

610
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: back with these NFC East prime time games. Understand the

611
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: markets involved, but until that division gets it's pooped together,

612
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: you cannot put that on your schedule. It's bad for everyone,

613
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: including the networks. They're always helpful, and this is this

614
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: isn't the last week. That's terrifying. We've got We've got

615
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up in a few I think there's three

616
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: more Cowboys prime time games. I have. I have the

617
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: I have Cowboys, Washington and Giants and thirty in the

618
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: power rankings. If the Cowboys beat the Eagles, I'm gonna

619
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: get to put them in a four pack cocoon of

620
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: sadness right just north of jets Land. I mean, that's

621
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: where we're at. This is historic. It's really bad. It's

622
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: really really bad for us to have to, like, listen,

623
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: prime Time should be the most exciting game of the week.

624
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I even felt like this past week there

625
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: were so many amazing finishes. Well there goes my microphone,

626
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: got it. Look at those catlike reflexes. Uh, there were

627
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: so many amazing finishes in the early window, and then

628
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: we got to the afternoon and it was kind of like, oh,

629
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: all right, well, thankfully we had the night game with

630
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Cardinals. But it just feels like every week

631
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: they should just they should just flex things out every

632
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: week and have the game of the week in prime time.

633
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: We've seen, we're seeing, unfortunately because the coronavirus, that the

634
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: NFL can sustain itself with flexibility and the scheduling. Maybe

635
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: it's time to start protecting prime time a little bit more.

636
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't all right, I'm gonna jump, I'm gonna piggyback

637
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Connie off KENNFC East because I want to talk to

638
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys specifically. Here we go this terrifying thoughts. The Cowboys

639
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: are now two and five. Andy Dalton is a mess,

640
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: Bunny Blucci. It sounds like my neighbor back in Bay Ridge,

641
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Everson Griffin is on the block of rap sheet reported.

642
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a more obvious UH signal? Sending

643
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: up the old bat trade signal to the Seattle Seahawks

644
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: after their Gholston on Sunday night, Please take our aging

645
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: veteran pass rusher. You need him more than we do.

646
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: Dak coming off a gruesome lower leg injury, and we'll

647
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: still command Mahomesian money on his next deal. Dallas obviously

648
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: needs to kind of fix this roster and get some

649
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: more flexibility. Yeah, here's a r if I thought the

650
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys might be tanking for Trevor, think about it. Think

651
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: about it now. Now the two wins is already putting

652
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: you in a tough spot. I could put this flashlight

653
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: on a new uh. So you almost have to come

654
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: close to losing out to have any shot of it.

655
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: But you wonder if they if things ever played out

656
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: where they were either at number one overall or close

657
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: enough to maybe make a godfather offer to get there,

658
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 1: If Giarra would say, do I want to give four

659
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: million dollars to Dak Prescott and try to fix a

660
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: broken roster? Or will I take a uber rookie Trevor Lawrence,

661
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: get the flexibility of that rookie contract and take a

662
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: swing at it from a different angle. I mean, the

663
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: fact that I even can pitch this as a possibility

664
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: tells you how off the rails things have gone. And

665
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: doubt it is. It is scary. What why? I don't

666
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: think it would be easy to pull it off. Is

667
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: that they still have plenty of games against the NFC

668
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: East and they're bound to and I don't trust them.

669
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: I don't trust you NFCS. I did, but I don't.

670
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, this coaching staff. Iff if even

671
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: if you got everyone on board and said, look at

672
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: you're all safe going into next year, I need you

673
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: to find a way to lose. Like everybody don't need

674
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: to try to lose. They're great at it. No one

675
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: is better at getting blown out than the Cowboys. I

676
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: just if you, if you tell Mike McCarthy and Mike Nolan,

677
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: now your job is to lose these games, they will

678
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: find a way to not get that job done and

679
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: win three by the stat sounds like a movie, right,

680
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: was really the icing on the cake? Oh yeah, I

681
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: love that idea. What if the coaching staff was so

682
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: bad that the ownership went in and did the Castanza

683
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: move where it's like, do everything opposite, and then that

684
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: team went on a Super Bowl run. That's kind of

685
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: the fun idea for a movie. And there might be

686
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: you know, it might not just be Trevor Lawrence. Maybe

687
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: it's Justin Fields. Who knows, there's other QB prospects, it's

688
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty early. You're right. If the Cowboys are even in

689
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: the top five area, that gets pretty interesting because as

690
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: bad as the NFC East is, I think the Cowboys,

691
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: even if Dalton comes back, are the worst by far

692
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: because there those offensive linemen aren't coming back and their

693
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: defense is showing absolutely no signs that they'll ever get better,

694
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: like they could lose all those games. I'd be curious

695
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: what a Cowboys fan would think about that. If you

696
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: were presented with that option, it would be good for Dac.

697
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: You know, Doac deserves to get out of this franchise.

698
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: He'll maybe land somewhere else, so you know, it might

699
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: not be the worst thing. All right, Mark, all right,

700
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: this is um a vision that I received, and it

701
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: it I find it's something terrifying to ponder. It starts

702
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 1: off sweet and it's Patriots Patriots based. It starts off

703
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: suite with New England falling to Buffalo thirty to sixteen,

704
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: okay on Sunday, one day after Halloween. But then the

705
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 1: Paths come out in week nine running the scheme that

706
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: employs multiple centers in a dizzy rotation of backs and

707
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: tight ends who received the direct snap wildcat style out

708
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: of an old Air Force flexbone formation that Belichick has

709
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: been studying. No quarterback is used, but Cam Newton has

710
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: a major role. He has given the same giant shoulder

711
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: pads worn by touchdown Tommy Vardell with the Browns in

712
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: artifact that Bill Belichick has kept in a vault below

713
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: Gillette Stadium. Here's where it gets weird. Can becomes a

714
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: rumbling nightmare who averages a hundred and five yards a game,

715
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: while Sony Michelle, James White, Ryan Izzo helped the Pats

716
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: to become an offense that passes for sixty five yards

717
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: a tilt but run for four hundred and six yards

718
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: per game. Down the stretch, all right. They blow the

719
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: doors off Miami, Buffalo and the Jets over the final

720
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: three weeks, and when the a f C East at

721
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: eleven and five over Buffalo by tiebreaker, oh they're back.

722
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: They beat the Browns to seven in the first playoff

723
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: till before knocking off the Ravens twelve to nine, and

724
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: then beguiling the Steelers twenty to nothing in a contest

725
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: that sees cam Izzo. When the Patriots hold the ball

726
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: for forty eight minutes, you don't need steph On Gilmore.

727
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Then in Super Bowl fifty five, they surprise talking head

728
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: chucklers by having Jared's Stidham out of nowhere throw the

729
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: ball twenty straight times to open the game. He goes

730
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: nineteen of twenty with one drop by our pal Izzo

731
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: to build a fourteen nothing lead over the Green Bay Packers.

732
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: Belichick McDaniels then come out of the third quarter and

733
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Izo fourteen straight times. He

734
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: never gets more than four yards, but never less than three,

735
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: and by going forward on fourth down every time, they

736
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: carve up Mike Petton's little defense as little boy with

737
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: a beard freaks out on the sideline, that drive eats

738
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: up fourteen minutes of the third quarter. Then New England

739
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: answers a Teddy Bridgewater touchdown tossed to d J. Moore

740
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: by having Julian Edelman go eight for eight passing out

741
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: of the run and shoot out of nowhere in the

742
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: final quarter with a touchdown strike to center David Andrews

743
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: to the seven Super Bowl win. All our worst fears

744
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: are realized. What a detailed vision. My favorite part of

745
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: that was that is Oh would never run for more

746
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: than four yards. Another lesson run for less than three.

747
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: That's just funny to me. The first thing I learned

748
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: in Pop Warner. We had this coach and he was

749
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: a great coach, but he he would go I think

750
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: to the old Kawana's club after work and put a

751
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: few down before coming to coach. Boys up and uh.

752
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: He told us this before every game. Look, all I

753
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: need to do is get three yards on every play.

754
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you know, we'd think like,

755
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: but that gets us the fourth and one. He's like,

756
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: we if you can get me three yards on every

757
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: single play, we will go for it on fourth down

758
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: every time, and we will maul every team we play.

759
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: Now that did not unfold that way, I can promise you,

760
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: but that was his theory. Are down when you drive

761
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: home after a couple of Jane is just stable the

762
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: speed limit and never make any illegal turns. That was he.

763
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: It was a small town. He he knew his way home.

764
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: Is that your worst fear? Though? Mark sounded like you

765
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: might enjoy that, like you've still got some nine. Yeah,

766
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: you kind of would love it. I mean, if you're

767
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: putting Cam Newton in one of those like the shoulder pads,

768
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: like come up to the top of your helmet. I

769
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: think that is chaos. You like chaos in all forms.

770
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: But that's not That wasn't terrifying to me, that was

771
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: sci fi. That was that was fantasy because the Patriots.

772
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: There's no saving this team. That's how we feel. Now

773
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: you know what great coaching is gonna do for this team,

774
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: Greg and I I'm I had Belichick as my Coach

775
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 1: of the Year pick because I thought he was gonna

776
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: be able to do it. But there's only so much

777
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: one can do. I think he's gonna coach this team

778
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: up to seven and nine. I think that's the ceiling year.

779
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: Do you agree or disagree? Too many crazy things have

780
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: happened in every season by that we never see coming that.

781
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's the ceiling because you never know.

782
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: But I'm not have no optimism. What's the record on

783
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: January one? If I had to guess, I would probably

784
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: go about, yeah, eight and eight, and even that feels

785
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: optimistic very I mean, they've been one of the word.

786
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 1: They've been the worst team in the league last two weeks,

787
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: right there with the Jets. Do you like the idea

788
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: of just having a rotation of guys taking direct snaps.

789
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: That is really innovative with multiple centers remembers, so like

790
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: you don't even know where the ball is coming from.

791
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: It's like he dips deep into like old Air Force

792
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: schemes that were used to nearly beat Michigan in two

793
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: thousand twelve. That kind of stuff. How exciting. Mark that

794
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: was the best comedy sci fi since Spaceballs. Yes, another

795
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: space Balls reference on the podcast. I don't get your

796
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: fascination with that, with that, I've never even seen that film.

797
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: What what one word? You love it? Right? I know

798
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: you're a space ball San. Let's go around the horn

799
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: one more time, Connie. I'm just gonna go Connie, here

800
00:43:55,280 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: we go? All right? So where is it? Okay? Uh?

801
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: Here's here? My my internet is a mess? My computer?

802
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: Slow god. Hey, here's a truly terrifying thought. Though. Imagine

803
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: just imagine for a second being chased by DK Metcalf,

804
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: Like is somebody who only runs one being chased. This

805
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: is a truly petrifying thought. Now, Buddha Baker not a

806
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: slow dude, and DK Metcalf just full on sprinted the

807
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: entire length basically of the field and took him down

808
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: to the point that it even caught the attention of

809
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: USA Track and Field, who invited him to Olympic Trials

810
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: next year. So he's scary talented, he's only in a

811
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: second year. He should be feared by all. That's my

812
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: terrifying thoughts. I love that, you know, I would say,

813
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: this is what a thing I would love to see,

814
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: because the funny thing is, I crossed my mind after

815
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Show when you went through the whole list

816
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: of all the crazy stuff, we didn't talk about DK

817
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: running down the pick six, the sure pick six, which

818
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: was one of the great plays. Uh, if you if

819
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: you gave me an athletic contest of DK Metcalf, let's

820
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: say Miles Garrett and then throwing Mahomes because obviously he's

821
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: not as imposing as those guys, but he has these

822
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: supernatural hand eye coordination gifts. And then just do a

823
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: series of athletic events. I'd love to see, like who

824
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: would win because net calf size, like combined with that speed,

825
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: they maybe throw Derrick Henry and to get him in

826
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: the competition too. I mean, it's just incredible to watch

827
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: what he can do. He had like tree on that tackle.

828
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: Baker ran a four or four five and then and

829
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: it was running away from everyone else. That was the

830
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: part of it that freaked me out. It's like he

831
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: was running away from other receivers and other defensive backs

832
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: and then Metcalf just comes from But yeah, I regretted

833
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: not mentioning that as a big fumble. I've gotten some

834
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: analytics people on Twitter a little bit annoyed because I've

835
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: made light of the fact that don't tell me about

836
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: the top speed thing, because everyone runs twenty one point

837
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: seven miles per hour at their high speed, the fastest guys,

838
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: but no, DK is the guy that broke that by

839
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: going twenty three. I think it's scaring that critique boot

840
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Like Buddha Baker had a ten yard head start and

841
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: somehow someway d K was able to catch up with

842
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: him and then just basically absorb him on the tackle.

843
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: I think a big thing that helped him was obviously

844
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: Buddha has the ultimate momentum, he steps in front of

845
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: the ball and he's gone. But when you showed the replay,

846
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: Metcalf was curling out of his route, kind of coming

847
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: back toward the line of scrimmage, so he was kind

848
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: of going in that direction as well. That gave him

849
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: the start he needed and then he oh my god,

850
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: that was fun. If you put Metcalf at the end

851
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: zone and me seventy yards away at the thirty running

852
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: towards the other end zone, I'm not sure that my

853
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: chances are good in that situation. Is that the whole

854
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: eisen uh forty yard dash thing at the combine, I

855
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: think they did that. It was something similar, and I

856
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: think with the like the pre or they they put

857
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: the little image of the of the haunting ghost player

858
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: on top. Catch enough to eyes and sure, all right, great,

859
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: give us another one. All right, I'm gonna give you

860
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: two really quick, the first one just because I want

861
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: to throw it out there. It's a trade I could

862
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: see happening. The best deep ball thrower in the league,

863
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, the most unstoppable vertical offense in the league,

864
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: and you just give them a little will Fuller on

865
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: a contract year. Texans don't need him. Jack Easterby crawls

866
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,760
Speaker 1: out of his hole to make one last trade before

867
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: they get rid of them. But my my real scary

868
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: thought is for Bengals fans, and you think about Geno

869
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: Atkins not playing, Carlos Dunlap not playing a j Green.

870
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: You know, making seventeen million dollars in your last year

871
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: of Bengals and you know what you do, absolutely nothing

872
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: like the last thirty years in your entire franchise history.

873
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: That's your nightmare. That's scary, that is that's what they'll do.

874
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: That's what the Bengals do. That's by the way, Zach

875
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: Taylor has three wins in twenty games. At some point

876
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: you need to win some games. I know they're making

877
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: progress on the competitive out, but at some point that

878
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: was my Coach of the Year pick. I mean, there's

879
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: still time, all right, Let's keep rolling here. Terrifying thought.

880
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: Tom Brady kicked out Ricky wears my music. Tom Brady

881
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: kicked out the door in New England. Don't listen to

882
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: Greg or any of the other pr flax attached to

883
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: that team. They thought they'd be okay without him. Right now,

884
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: he's playing like a top three quarterback. Gronk remember him.

885
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't kicked out the door in New England, but

886
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: he stepped away. He was done with the Patriot way

887
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: and now he's continuing to improve. Antonio Brown hits the

888
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: scene as pure Mr Big Chest and becomes a killer

889
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: part of that offense, a defense led by Devin White

890
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: knocking on the door of the superstar club, Anton Winfield

891
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Junior rolling toward defensive Rookie of the Year, the Bucks

892
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: all these things together could become the overwhelming favorite to

893
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: win the suburbal played in Tampa in front of ghosts

894
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: because there's a global pandemic that ruined the world and

895
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: that's scary pirate ship, where's the nightmare. It's a terrifying

896
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: thought that this team, as great as it's playing right now,

897
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: if Antonio Brown gets there and finds a role in

898
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: the offense, and I think he just might. Uh. And

899
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: with everything else the way it is building, and and

900
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: the Brady thing, really I talked about on Sunday Show

901
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me. I mean, how awesome he

902
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 1: looks the last couple of weeks, Like if you're gonna

903
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 1: get that guy with this defense, and now you bring

904
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: in the most productive wide receiver pound for pound in

905
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: the history of the league, with whether you like him

906
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: or not, a out to prove WHOA. I think it's delightful.

907
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's delightful for the NFL. Like Tom Brady

908
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: at forty three, after everything he's done being supported by

909
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: the best roster I think in the NFL and a

910
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: great coach. I don't know, like signed, sign me up?

911
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: I even. I mean I'm rooting for him this year.

912
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: I think it's one thing it helped with getting getting

913
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: a tenth at Super Bowl appearance to tie his buddy

914
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: Lebron but go for the seventh title. Yeah, I mean

915
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: all that is exciting, And if you are a Patriots

916
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: hater and you've suffered through years, the idea that he

917
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: left there and is thriving while Belichick is scrambling just

918
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: to be halfway mediocre. I mean, all this stuff could

919
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: not be playing out any better for Brady. Although there's

920
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: a pretty big segment of the Patriots fan, maybe not

921
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: as much in Boston, but I know a few who

922
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: are kind of on board with it, that just loved

923
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: Brady so much that they don't have the I think

924
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: they're upset about the Patriots, it's not going to be

925
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: their favorite team, but that they're they're going along for

926
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: the right. And then there's a larger segment who it

927
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: drives them crazy and it feels feels possessive about It's

928
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: different than like it's different than Brett Farve going to

929
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: the Vikings. He didn't go to the Bills. I mean,

930
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: he's in a different conference and you have to be

931
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: probably from Boston to not find some small enjoyment. And

932
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: in half these Patriots fans are gonna go back to

933
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: being Celtics and Red Sox and Bruins fans solely in

934
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: about three years. So that's out started. End. I have

935
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: one little related, last quick scary thought go ahead, and

936
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: it's because looking I think that one thing that for

937
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: all the all the fun poke to Tom Brady about

938
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: his sports science, his diet, the truth of the matter

939
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: is something about what he does, and it's d n

940
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: A and it's everything else. It's got to be in

941
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: right condition. He is forty three and looking better than

942
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks twenty years younger that can't even make the

943
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: throws he's making. So I think about the fact that

944
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: if you're the little Raiders or the little Bronco out

945
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: in your outposts thinking hey, we're good with Derek Carr

946
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 1: and we're good Withdrew lock and you know you thought

947
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: you came came into the year thinking we have to

948
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: organize our franchise to take down Patrick Mahomes now Patrick

949
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes plays as long as Tom Brady, he'll be there

950
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 1: till about which is a concerning thought if he's still

951
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: as good as Tom Brady is at his age. But

952
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: now you also have to deal with Justin Herbert, the

953
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: rookie that no one thought would be a factor and

954
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: probably would be a dud, is looking like the next

955
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: big thing, and suddenly the Raiders and Broncos have to

956
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: pitch to their fan base. Drew Lock, you know, don't

957
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: worry about his knee braves falling off as he dishes

958
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: his knee into the snow and he can't make alls

959
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: and the offense is a mess. We're great, Derek Carr.

960
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the same forever. But you're fine. You're

961
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: in a hot, boiling tank of water. If you're in

962
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: the a f C West. It's two quarterbacks now, not one.

963
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: Very scary and it goes for the rest of the

964
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: A s C. Yeah. I The only the only pushback

965
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: for for that for me is I don't think the

966
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: Rays ever really were in the Brady sweepstakes because, as

967
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: it was reported, he didn't want to leave the East Coast.

968
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: Wasn't that a thing? Well, I'm just saying that the

969
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: Raiders car or Tom Brady for one year or not

970
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: have to deal with Patrick Mahomes and for the next

971
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: twenty years, and it was just Mahomes. Now it's two

972
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in your dad, Mark Davis wanted Tom Brady, and

973
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: I did think about that while Mark Davis is watching

974
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: um the Raiders from home because he refuses to go

975
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: to his new stadium, which still which is awesome and

976
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 1: weird but kind of awesome. But then watching Brady shred

977
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback that he not so subtly threw under the

978
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: bus in March. M hmm, all right, good, so that

979
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: was truly terrified. Colleen. What are you bean for Halloween

980
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: this year? Uh? Well, so I just found out that

981
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: they want us to dress up for t NFU for

982
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: a segment, So I UM trying to come up with

983
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: something very quickly on the fly. So I guess you'll

984
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. It'll be a big surprise

985
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: for all of us, including myself. Maybe anybody transition. Does

986
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: anybody have any ideas for Connie? How about tinker Bell?

987
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: I feel like you would be a good tinker Bell. Yeah, so, okay,

988
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm what I was thinking about.

989
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about dressing up as a trash can and

990
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: being the NFC East. That's perfect. That's so good. They're

991
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: not going to do that right now. That's good. You

992
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: should try it. That's good. Last year I was a

993
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: wolf in sheep's clothing and I had them get me

994
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: like the absolute most unflattering huge sheep costumes so I

995
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: could be in that um and I like cut off

996
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: the sleeves because we were in the desert. We were

997
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: in Arizona for that game. So uh, we'll see. I mean,

998
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe they'll let me dress up as a trash can.

999
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: This means crossed. They have no problem with you putting

1000
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: three of the market shares that basically carry NFL network

1001
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: in a trash can on on Thursday night football. This

1002
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: is what you do. I will run to Spirit Halloween

1003
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: Connie for you, and I will buy you the Tinkerbell

1004
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: custom you hang up. You hang that in the dressing

1005
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: room so they think that's what you're putting on, and

1006
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: then five seconds before you go live, you roll out

1007
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: in the garbage can. I love it. I love it. Alright,

1008
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: you guys have to tune in see what happens and

1009
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: see what I'm dressed up. There you go. And that

1010
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: is the transition to Thursday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons

1011
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: at the Carolina Panthers. Falcons coming off another, I mean,

1012
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: just another just insane, ridiculous loss. We already knew they

1013
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: weren't going anywhere this year, but nobody needs that. And

1014
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: it did make me think, as Todd Gurley, you know,

1015
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: falls into the end zone for the go ahead touchdown,

1016
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: that actually is the steak through your heart. Somehow the

1017
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: Falcons pulled that off. Uh. Dan Quinn watching that at

1018
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: home with a bowl of ice cream? Uh? Did he

1019
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: miss being part of the action or was he just

1020
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: feeling free that he wasn't connected to the curse of

1021
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: the Falcons? I don't know. Uh. And now they traveled

1022
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: to Charlotte to face the Panthers. Matt Rules team continues

1023
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: to be competitive week after week, but they have lost

1024
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: two in a row. Connie, you anchor coverage of Thursday

1025
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: Night Football for NFL Network. What are you looking forward

1026
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: to here? Alright? A couple of things here. I still

1027
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: don't expect Christian McCaffrey to play in this game, but

1028
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: they haven't ruled him out yet. Um, he's pushing to play,

1029
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: and Tuesday they designated him for return from i R.

1030
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: So more than likely it's just he'll end up playing

1031
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: Week nine against the Chiefs, but there is still a

1032
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: chance he could play in this one. UM. Mike Davis,

1033
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: who has been his replacement, really struggled this week again

1034
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: or last week against the Saints. He's been dealing with

1035
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: an ankle injury of his own. Now he's on a

1036
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: short week. UM. When you go back to Week five

1037
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: when these two teams played last though, Mike Davis had

1038
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: a really nice day. He had a hundred and forty

1039
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: nine scrimmage yards in that game. But there are a

1040
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: few things that are different UM this week compared to

1041
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: Week five when they played last. Matt Ryan won't have

1042
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: to deal with Kawan Shot or Eto Grossmatos in this game.

1043
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: Obviously the Panthers lost short for the entire year, and

1044
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 1: then Grossmatos is on i R because of that ankle,

1045
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan on the other side, he will have

1046
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: Julio Jones this time around, which is obviously a big

1047
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: deal because I'm not sure this Panthers secondary. I think

1048
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time dealing with both Julio

1049
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: Jones and Calvin Ridley. Yeah, watching Julio last week with

1050
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 1: those option routes where him and Ryan are just trying

1051
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: to read the field the same, it's just a reminder.

1052
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it helps to have a first ballot

1053
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame still playing, you know, Hall of Famer

1054
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: playing like really at the top of your game, because

1055
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: suddenly that opens up coverage for Ridley. It is a

1056
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: tough matchup for the Panthers. Um the Falcons are healthier

1057
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: in the back end to a j Terrell has been

1058
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,959
Speaker 1: playing pretty aggressively Grady Jared's doing is I'm not saying

1059
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: this is a great Falcons team, but they're like the

1060
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: best one in five team you've ever seen. They they're

1061
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: about three plays away from one and six. There are

1062
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: three plays away from being four and three. They deserve

1063
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: to be one and six because they find these ways

1064
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: to lose. But they're a tough out. I think it

1065
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: will be a good game, and I hope Ted, in

1066
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: his only prime time game of the year, balls out

1067
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: because he's coming off maybe his best game of the year.

1068
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball so well versus pressure. He really

1069
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: reminds me of a young Breeze. He really does. I mean,

1070
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: not as good as Breeze, but Drew Brees doesn't take

1071
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: that sack leading to the sixty five yard field goal. Time.

1072
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. It was interior pressure that

1073
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: came on a little quicker than he expected. You're you're right, now,

1074
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right. Rule, Actually not even the Rule

1075
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: got on him yesterday basically saying he did have the opportunity.

1076
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: It was obviously water under the bridge, but he played

1077
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: a great game overall. I agree with you, Locket pocket

1078
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: presence is there. He and you know Matt Rule, I

1079
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: think Greg basically, when we had Matt Rule on our show, Um,

1080
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, I've been really waiting and excited to talk

1081
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: to Matt Rule. Greg opened the segment up by announcing

1082
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: that Dan and I UM had been on a campaign

1083
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: flaming Teddy all offseason and asked what Matt Rule thought

1084
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: about the other two chumps on the show. Um and

1085
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: Matt Rule. I mean, the one thing I remember about

1086
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: that was his passion and total dedication to Teddy Bridgewater,

1087
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: the person, the player, the whole thing. And I still

1088
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: remain kind of suspect about what Teddy could be. And

1089
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: he's been great in this offense, I mean great and

1090
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: compared to what I thought he'd be se completion percentage.

1091
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing I feel about the Panthers,

1092
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: and we've already been through this what the expectations were

1093
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: for where they are, But they're good players are playing well,

1094
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: like Robby Anderson has used really well. D J. Moore

1095
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: has used really well. And I know that you know,

1096
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: the defense was really young. They're thirteen and points allowed.

1097
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not a total disaster. At the same time,

1098
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't love the matchup. I mean they let the

1099
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: Saints go twelve or fourteen on third downs and pile

1100
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: up four hundred and fifteen yards. And the Falcons, I mean,

1101
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: their strength is still that they can move the ball,

1102
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: and so I I think like it's gonna look to

1103
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 1: me like a lot of other Falcons and Panthers games,

1104
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: which is close in the fourth quarter. Um, the Panthers

1105
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: don't get blown out. They just don't do that. And

1106
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: for reason, I kind of liked the game. I'd almost

1107
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: want to go lock up the Panthers here, but we

1108
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't really jive with our you can that I

1109
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: got other ideas because it's also one of those games.

1110
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: It's NFC South, be team between two wacky teams. I

1111
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: don't need that drama that night. And I will say

1112
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: this because obviously there is still, even in the midst

1113
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: of a two games skid, an ongoing love affair with

1114
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers on this pot and that's good. I'm not

1115
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: a part of it, but I respect your guys admiration

1116
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: for this team. Better win a ball game on Thursday night.

1117
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: You better because guess what after that? You're at Kansas

1118
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: City home against Bucks and that's you know, that happy

1119
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: story about them being a playoff team. I mean, they're

1120
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs in this game or not.

1121
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: You can be staring at three and seven if you

1122
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: don't find a way to win this game, is what

1123
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Colleen. Now, you, of course, in one of

1124
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: your roles as the anchor of the NFL Network coverage

1125
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: on Thursday night football, is you get to interview real

1126
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: anyone you want. Basically, does I understand, I don't do.

1127
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Does anybody ever turned down the opportunity to be the

1128
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: interview focus on NFL Network? Do you do they have

1129
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: that opportunity or how does that work? It has happened?

1130
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: Who's who's turned you down? Let's name names? Oh my god? Well,

1131
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: all right, I won't How about the entire Saints team?

1132
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: About six seven years ago there was there was some

1133
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: you know but basically gets first DIBs on whoever the

1134
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: interview is. And then sometimes guys will double dip just

1135
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: to like pull the curtain back. Let you guys know

1136
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: how it goes down. Uh. And then sometimes guys can

1137
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: refuse to do the double dips, So then we have

1138
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: to go with the second choice. Uh. Interesting, Okay, So

1139
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: let's say, uh, Fox, something horrendous happens to Fox gets

1140
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: swallowed up in a black hole. You get the first

1141
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: option for anybody you want. Who who would you love

1142
01:01:55,040 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: to be interviewing Thursday night? Teddy like it? Like abriage water,

1143
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: It's a good one. Can I want a credit to

1144
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz by the way, who doubled dipped last week?

1145
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I noticed so now that I didn't know that that

1146
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: was how you know it all it all works there,

1147
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: but I saw that he doubled when well, no, I

1148
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: would say, speaking of Fox like I mean Troy Aikman

1149
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite players growing up, and I

1150
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: for all the people that knock in my love is like,

1151
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: do you are you in Troy like pals? Now? I

1152
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: see you guys like you're interacting online or on air

1153
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: and just oh my gosh, we go way back. Listen,

1154
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: we're all just like we have text change. Are you text?

1155
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: Have you texted with? Well, that's what I wanted to know.

1156
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: That's my part. I'm done, Colleen. I'm not even upset

1157
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: with you that you cheered from the stadium bleachers in

1158
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: when I was concussed with the old bed. Have you

1159
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: ever spoken to Troy Aikman, not on live television, like

1160
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: when we were on the road we would see each

1161
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: other and like you know, hotel lobbies and things like

1162
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: that and at the game. Yeah. Good, but that's pretty

1163
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: much the extent of it. Alright, good Erica. Are you safe? Yep?

1164
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Here I am. That pause made me one extra second there. Sorry.

1165
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe it's time to move away from the

1166
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: window because of all the harrowing things that happened on Sunday,

1167
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 1: And I know you went through a lot. When I

1168
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: saw that creep walk across the window, uh that that

1169
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: gave me the chills and I don't want to have

1170
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: to see that again. So if you could maybe move

1171
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: maybe get with a wall separating you. The window just

1172
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 1: feels an extra layer of security. Never hurt anybody, it's bad.

1173
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 1: And Thor's barking at the door right now, so I'm

1174
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: all like freaked out, like I'm I'm on the like

1175
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: there's a reddit post um where someone screen captured that

1176
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: moment where the man was seen between you know, outside

1177
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: your window, and it's like blowing up and a lot

1178
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: of people are concerned. Yeah, yeah, let's show that on

1179
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that we put this show up on YouTube, right, I'm

1180
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna give you a little extra work if you could

1181
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and give us a shot of that for the viewers. Okay, Okay,

1182
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm not going to do that. I'm just

1183
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: gonna hope in uh in Two Men and a Baby

1184
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: where you see like the ghost in the background, yeah

1185
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, yeah that was real, by the way. Yeah,

1186
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were commenting that you guys

1187
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: didn't take it as seriously in the in the moment um,

1188
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: but we all were sort of finding out in real

1189
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: time what was going on off are you guys were

1190
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: very great. We did use it for entertainment value as

1191
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: we're getting killed on the subreddit. That's nice. Well, yeah,

1192
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: well we will do we will. There are subscriptions. You

1193
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: had a guest bedroom, like I could come up, like

1194
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I can just leave the house like you guys were great.

1195
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 1: I also said we didn't cut all that out of

1196
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: the show because once it felt like it became a

1197
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: serious situation. We didn't want to make light of it.

1198
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: But you were like, no, I need I need the clicks,

1199
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: I need the there's that's what happened either. Now I

1200
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: didn't see it happen, but what I picture is exactly

1201
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: what I'm looking at it Dan screen right now, um

1202
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: with the scarecrow whatever villain behind him. So is that

1203
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: sort of what it was like? It was like, here,

1204
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: give me a full screen conn look at that. So

1205
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: this is basically what happened. That's the real sound. This

1206
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: is not added. Can Possy come come and live with me?

1207
