Speaker 1: know you are every night NBA happening. Yes, I will

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: spend a few minutes at the end of the podcast

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,199

Speaker 1: down the Lakers. I'm not going to tear them down,

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: not that badly. Just fast forward to near the end

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: of the podcast if you want. But before we get

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: to any of that, I gotta just say I talked

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: about it before. My daughter was in is in girl Scouts.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: So we did a daddy daughter dance. It was awesome,

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: and there was a daddy daughter I guess parent daughter

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: um Halloween party that was an eighties theme over the weekend.

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: It was awesome. It truly was incredible. A lot of

20
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: dancing and you guys know me eighties music fiend. When

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I when I put on my like best mix, you know,

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: to get fired up to play basketball or at the

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: gym or whatever. It's usually a heavy dose of eighties

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: and of course rap. But it was just a lot

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: of fun. Now, I will say this as I lead

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: into the NFL weekend, not a lot of college football happening.

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: You see how I got stomped out, which was which

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: was ugly, but overall college football sucked. On Saturday, you know,

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: there was this game at my daughter's pe class called Victory.

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: It's similar to Capture the Flag, but basically you wear

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you know, for flag football, you with these belt with

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: the flags around your waist and you start on one

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: side and you have to run to the other. So

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: it was like our class, parents and kids versus the

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: other class parents and kids, and you put these flags

36
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: around your waist and you know it's it was actually

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: a warm day on I day, and you've gotta sprint

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: to the other side. There's some strategy involved, but not

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: a ton. Now, I never played flag football growing up,

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: so I didn't I didn't know the rules about these

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: flags because you know, you put them around your waist.

42
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: They fit kids fine, but parents, it's like falling off

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: so I like did a little put through, you know,

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: not not a not or anything, but put through and

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: apparently that's illegal. Um. And and then you can't knock

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: not kids hands away from taking away your flag. That's

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: called stiff arming. Again new to me, but it was

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: one of the most fun things. And I and I

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: will say this, I felt like I had a lot

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: of juice running in pe against some other parents and

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: obviously fourth grade kids. But it felt fun, you know,

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, my my daughter knows a lot of

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: the um, the boys and girls in fourth grade because

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: we've played sports against them and um, all this fun stuff.

55
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: So it's like the kids were like some of them

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: were coming for me, you know, because I've coached him.

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: And it was it was one we had a lot

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: of a blast. Couple of dads and the other team

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: who I think listen to this podcast. Um, it was

60
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But I felt like the dads

61
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: who were are in shape and like play a lot

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: of sports, they have juice and you can kind of

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: see it like, oh, there's an explosive one and there's

64
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: a spin move and folks, I will say this about

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Sunday's NFL the play that got me out of my seat,

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: leaping and going crazy. Was my main man, Bruce Hall

67
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: of the New York Jets, going sixty two yards for

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And I mean they clocked him. Next Gen

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: stats clocked Bruce Hall at one eight seven miles per hour,

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the fastest ball carrier this season. I mean, I'm sure

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: you guys have seen the highlight by now. He just

72
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, takes it down around the end and then

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: almost untouched, just knife through the Denver defense, and the

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: announcer Ian Eagle says, Briefs Lightning. I didn't even know

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: that was his nick name, but that sounds awesome and

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: unfortunately we will not be able to use it again

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: until next year. On a Sunday where it felt like

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: bodies were dropping left and right. If you saw the

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Mike Williams injury brutal ankle knee, I don't know. I

80
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen an update, but it doesn't look good. J. C.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Jackson of the Chargers dislocated kneecap. I mean, the injuries

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL, so it was a Sunday, bloody Sunday.

83
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: But for me, the Briefs Hall a c L injury,

84
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: suffered a couple of carries after that uh sixty two

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: yard touchdown was just devastating. However, the Jets still got

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: the w move to five and two, and I just

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: wanted to get get the Jets out of the way

88
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: at the outside, at the outside of the podcast, because

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: you guys know, I am mayor of Jets Nation, so

90
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I had to freak out a little bit. Um. It

91
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: was an incredible win, and I'm thrilled. It feels good.

92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: We have the Patriots next week. We'll talk about it later. Unfortunately,

93
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jets nor the Giants who moved

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: to six and one, are the biggest NFL story over

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the weekend because, folks, what transpired a in Carolina and

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: BE in Washington dovetail nicely off of what we talked

97
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: about last Monday. This last exactly one week ago, I said, damn,

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady did not look good against Pittsburgh. And then

99
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: you had all the wedding stuff and craft You're like,

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: all right, he'll bounce back. And then you had Aaron

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: Rodgers against the Jets and you're like, you know, Rogers night.

102
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Now these receivers getting separated, it doesn't look good at all.

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: And folks, this is now this is a staggering stat. Well,

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: it's back to back weeks that they haven't looked good.

105
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: But since Brady and Rogers met. You remember the game

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: in Tampa. I think it ended fourteen twelve on a

107
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: mistwo point conversion by Tampa. Since that game, those two

108
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are a combined oh and eight against the spread.

109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: They cannot do anything offensively. You never want to say

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: a goat like Tom Brady is washed, but if you

111
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: saw any of that Carolina game, and like an ass clown,

112
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: I did a mistake that I've been making in this contest,

113
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: the three point four million or whatever the number is

114
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: gambling contest. Saturday morning, you know, I wake up, take

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: my daughter to her soccer game. It was a great game,

116
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: come back, and I'm I'm sitting there looking at the

117
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: picks and I'm like, wait a minute. I didn't like

118
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot earlier in the week. Now I've got like

119
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: eight games I like. And the last thing I do,

120
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: and this is actually hurt, is go over injuries. And

121
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: if you remember last week I talked about it, Oh jeez,

122
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers are so beat up. Three of the four

123
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: secondary guys are out. Brady's receivers are healthy. Oh my gosh,

124
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: you gotta go pay gotta gotta go Bucks, Bucks lose outright?

125
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: What did I do again this week? Carolina? Are you

126
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: ready for this? Coach fired, best offensive player traded in

127
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: what looks to be the start of a fire sale.

128
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: They're not on their backup quarterback because remember they had

129
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Sam darn Los the starter. Then Baker comes in beats

130
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: him out. So Baker was the starter. Sam Donald was

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: the backup. They had drafted Matt Corral out of oh Miss.

132
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: He was gonna be their third string quarterback. Corral gets hurt.

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Donald gets hurt. P J. Walker, who was headed for

134
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: the practice squad, essentially the fourth string quarterback on the

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers less than what what what? Less than three

136
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: months ago, he was the He was basically the practice

137
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: squad quarterback. He beats Tom Brady three in a game

138
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: where folks Tom Brady look like the bad quarterback. Now

139
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: I will say this, I sit down. I turned on

140
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: red Zone. I've got the other games on my other television.

141
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: I've got them. I've got the phone queued up with

142
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: another game, obviously a game that I gambled on. Cincinnati

143
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Bengals just so I don't miss anything. Tom Brady's bomb

144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: passed to Mike Evans. I look at the screen. I'm like,

145
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Mike Evans, nobody clothes all right. I

146
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: stand up. I literally start clapping Mike Evans baby, and

147
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: he drops it again. Not I think it was neck

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Jen's stats and I've given him a second shout out here.

149
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: They said that there was not a defender within ten

150
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: yards of Mike Evans and he dropped the past. That

151
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 1: would have been a seventy five yard touchdown two minutes

152
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: into the game. And you know, for a team that

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: had fired their coach, fourth string quarterback fire Sale, that

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: would have been a death bell two minutes into the game.

155
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Mike Evans drops it. Tampa never gets on track, scores

156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: zero points in the first half. They had a fourth

157
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: and one. Uh. Tom Brady tried to sneak, which I'm

158
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: all four the quarterback sneak did not work. Access denied

159
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Patriots get their butts kicked in, folks. It's a miracle.

160
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: This is how speaks to how bad the NFC is.

161
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite

162
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: being three and four to a Bay are somehow magically

163
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: tied for first place in their division three and four.

164
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: That's how bad the freaking NFC is the end. This

165
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: is even more staggering because we'll get to Green Bay

166
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: in a second, because they should also be up here.

167
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: But look at the top of the NFC. Obviously Philadelphia Eagles.

168
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Nobody questions that six and oh I think at this

169
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: point best team in the NFC. After that, Oh wait

170
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: is that the New York Giants. So wait, you've got

171
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: two teams a top the NFC from the NFC East,

172
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: that the weak NFC least, which has been the worst

173
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: division in football forever. And then well the Vikings five

174
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: and one they have to buy, and then the Cowboys

175
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: five and two, and after that the Seattle Seahawks at

176
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: four and three. That that's it. Those are the only

177
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: teams with a winning record in the NFC five teams,

178
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: three of them are in the NFC East. That's just crazy.

179
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: And that's what is the beauty of this league. I

180
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: had some people, I don't mean they might be bots,

181
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: have been tweeting me that all the NFL stinks are

182
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: so much parody. It's the opposite of that. The reason

183
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: it's good is because before the season, fans of the

184
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: New York Giants Seattle Seahawks, they had no clue, no

185
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: clue at all, that they would be among the best

186
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. After seven weeks, it's crazy. Seattle

187
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: has a negative point differential and they were top the

188
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: NFC West. And yes, that bet that I said stands.

189
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: If they finished the season with a winning record, I

190
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: will shave the Seahawks and signy on the side of

191
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: my head. Um, you don't listen. It's not that bad, right.

192
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of kids do lines in the

193
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: side of their head other stuff stars. It goes away

194
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: after about my hair GRoWES quickly. I still don't think

195
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: it will happen. Seattle little good smashing the Chargers, I mean, goodness, gracious,

196
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: just a bad, bad beat down. We'll get of that

197
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: game in a little bit. But this craziness in the

198
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: NFC seeing Tampa at three and four tied with the

199
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Tampa and and again, I'm an idiot, that's

200
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: glutton for punishment. This is three straight weeks they've been

201
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: unable to cover, and folks, it's beyond gambling at this point.

202
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: It's like, are they a playoff team. Well, they're probably

203
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna make the plays because their division stinks. The Saints

204
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: are two and five. I thought the Saints would be

205
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: a playoff team. They've got a quarterback controversy on their hands.

206
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston does not look happy to be riding the

207
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Pine while he's apparently healthy. Andy Dalton to pick six

208
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: is and like a three minute span on Thursday Night football. Um,

209
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: I just it's folks, This is crazy crazy town with

210
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: how bad Tampa is. And I know they were seven

211
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: and five two years ago and rebounded to win the

212
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Is their offensive line gonna get healthier? The defense?

213
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: The rushing defense is supposed to be impenetrable. I got

214
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: shredded by Onto Foreman and Hubba Hubbard Cuba. However you

215
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: say it by the way, I had Foreman on my bench.

216
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Not great. Um, I still did go to and oh

217
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: I know it might have been. I gotta actually check

218
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: because too, I needed like a few points to beat me.

219
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,119
Speaker 1: I think he probably got it. Um. And let beyond

220
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the struggling Tampa Bay Bucks, the Green

221
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers are an absolute train wreck

222
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: right now. So they get their doors blown off in

223
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: London when they're leading the Giants the seventeen three and

224
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: the second half they just get the wipe the floor

225
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: with they can't stop say Kwon Barkley and the Giants

226
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: ground game. Then they go home. Well, they'll get right

227
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: against the Jets, and the Jets just beat them, beat

228
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: them up, just smash them in the mouth, control the

229
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, special teams, Jets running the ball, and

230
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, fine, they'll go to Washington, they'll clean

231
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: it up. Well, this was one where I was on

232
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: the right side. I told you, guys, Taylor Heinekey probably

233
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: an upgrade. Now, that did not look good when you

234
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: threw au pick six early and the Packers are up

235
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: fourteen three. At that point, you're like, okay, I think

236
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: the Packers probably got this. They'll be fine, right um,

237
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: And then you just watch and it's like, what are

238
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: they doing on offense? Folks? I saw a stat that

239
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers only attempted two passes beyond twenty yards in

240
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the entire game, and I'm like, can that be right?

241
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: What what the hell's going on here? I know they

242
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: don't have receivers getting separation, but Watkins caught one for

243
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight and Aaron Jones caught a twenty one yard

244
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: or um. But I think one of those was a

245
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: catch and run, and it's like they can't they can't

246
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: spread down the field at all. Watkins was supposed to

247
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: do that. By the way, Aaron Jones led them in

248
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: targets with ten. That's a sign. Dylan four carries for

249
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, Jones eight carries for twenty three yards. So

250
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: once again, just like the Giants game, leading fourteen three offense,

251
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: unable to put teams away, and they let Washington hang around.

252
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Heinik pulled a rabbit out of the hat and suddenly

253
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: you've got the Green Bay Packers at three and four.

254
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,479
Speaker 1: And folks, remember if you listen to the podcast, um,

255
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I think it was in August. I had gone to

256
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: Vegas and I was bullish on the Vikings. I bet

257
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: they're all season win total. Same thing with the Eagles,

258
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: because I knew the schedule was favorable, and I had

259
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings win the division. At five and one, they

260
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: have a significant lead over the Packers and they already

261
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: beat him once. Now these are the Vikings, this is

262
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, so nothing would surprise me. If they created

263
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: later in the season, it certainly won't be Detroit and

264
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: it won't be Chicago, so it's gotta be Minnesota. But

265
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: this is how a nie make the Packers offenses over

266
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: six on third down. I mean, their offense cannot stay

267
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: on the field. Washington had the ball for thirty seven minutes,

268
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: green Bay over six on third down. I believe that

269
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: was the first time this century that they did not

270
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: convert a third down. You have to go back to

271
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: I believe nine. They rushed for thirty eight yards, and

272
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: that was another thing we told you. This Washington run

273
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: defense is very good, and they're gonna force Aaron Rogers throw.

274
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we diagnosed this one perfectly. Hopefully you cashed

275
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: and just wait because Chase Young will be rejoining this defense.

276
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Then they get a little first gear. I don't necessarily,

277
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: I didn't think kind of. He had a great game.

278
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: He had a good second half. The kid Brian Robinson

279
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: at Obama. I like him as a running back. He

280
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: looks big. He's like Derrick Henry Light if that makes sense.

281
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: Um for what maybe it's the jersey number single digit

282
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: number eight, but he looks tall, skinny and tough uh

283
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: twenty carries for seventy three yards, just kind of ground

284
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: the Packers down. Now you got Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady.

285
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if one or both of those missed

286
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs? Like, who would have had that before the season?

287
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely nobody. Um, But again, it's still relatively early, folks.

288
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Let's not dump the dirt on the grave of Aaron

289
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers or Tom Brady. I'm looking at the schedule for

290
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: next week and Green Bay, oh boy, they had to

291
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Sunday Night football. The Green Bay Packers are eleven

292
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: point underdogs. I'll check with Fox when I get to

293
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: work today, but I'm almost certain that Aaron Rodgers has

294
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: never been a double digit underdog in his career. That

295
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: is an absolutely staggering number. Tampa Bay is on Thursday

296
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: Night football hosting Baltimore John Harbaugh versus Todd Bowls. And

297
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: I'll say a quick thing about Bulls because I was

298
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: talking to somebody and I mentioned this. I'm like, remember

299
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,359
Speaker 1: Brady retired when Arians was a coach. Then Arians retires,

300
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Brady says, oh oh, I'll come back. Also, his Miami

301
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: pipe dream had kind of been stuffed out Arians hands.

302
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: The coaching job to Todd Bowls. Oh, Bowls didn't get

303
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: a fair shake in New York. He's gonna get a

304
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: fair shake this time. He's gonna have his chances. Well,

305
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles has a chance. And what the hell is

306
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: going on with that offense? They can't move to football?

307
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: And finally, people are starting to criticize Matt Lafleur, a

308
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: k A boy wonder. The guy wins thirteen games his

309
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: first three years. Everybody loves him. Oh, he's the fastest

310
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: or forty wins, all these stats, like, give me a break, now,

311
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: face adversity. What the hell is the floora gonna do?

312
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Because he hasn't done Jack squad? All Right, enough about

313
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: the two premier quarterbacks. I will talk Kansas City in

314
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: a minute. I'm not gonna buzz through all the games.

315
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: Rob hates when I do that, but I do want

316
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: to just go right back to the Jets for a moment.

317
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: I wrote I write up games for Fox Sports every week,

318
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: basically me and two other guys. We kind of split

319
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: up the games we're gonna write about. And what are

320
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: the notes I had on the Jets? Was special teams

321
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Denver coming in in the league, if you want. I

322
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: was at the Monday night game Chargers Broncos. Broncos fumble

323
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: the punt in overtime. That's the only reason the Chargers

324
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: won that game. Chargers recover kicked the field goal game

325
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: over Jet third and special teams had the punt block,

326
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: had the field goal block against the Packers. Well, special

327
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: teams Jets Broncos, Broncos miss an extra point, Broncos miss

328
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: a field goal, and the Jets punter boomed a seventy

329
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: two yarder, pinning Denver at the one. Denver never had

330
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: field position, which is something you want with a backup.

331
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: The defense couldn't turn over Zach Wilson, who Well, I'll

332
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: spend a minute on Zach in a second, But some

333
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: of these games, guys, you've got to really break down,

334
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: not just offense and quarterbacks, but defense, injuries, special teams

335
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: matter so significantly. It was a big edge for the Jets.

336
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: They will not have that edge against the Patriots next week. Um,

337
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: and now a quick word on my guy, Zack Wilson.

338
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,359

342
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: to be Debbie owner because I know, I know all

343
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: the Jets fans listening to this are fired up. Or

344
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: five and two. Yes, I said we four o on

345
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: the road before the season. Oh, the schedules were we're dead.

346
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: We can't do anything. We gotta face Aaron Rodgers on

347
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: the road and then Russell Wilson on the road. Well,

348
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: the Packers stink, and Russell Wilson didn't play because of

349
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: the hamstring. Brett Rippon got the start. Yes, the Jets

350
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: beat Miami, who were on their third string quarterback because

351
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater got knocked out like one play into the game.

352
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: So the Jets have had some a little bit of luck.

353
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: And they also beat um what's his true bisky when

354
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: he got benched for picket, So they have had some luck.

355
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: You need it obviously, But you know what, I don't care.

356
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't give a rats ass about luck. All I

357
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: care about is the Jets are gonna be in the mix,

358
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: maybe maybe for a playoff spot. The Briefe Hall injury

359
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: is devastating. Michael Carter will be the bell bell cow

360
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: and then the kid Um what's his face Tyler ty Johnson,

361
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: who's not bad. He's all right. He's been with them

362
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: for a little walk. I think he's a bit of

363
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: a punisher. Uh tough. Carter's good. Um thirteen carries twenty

364
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: nine yards long of five against a really good Denver defense. Uh.

365
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: And then they could give you some gimmicks stuff with

366
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios. I do wonder if this opens the door

367
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: for maybe some more Elijah Moore. Elijah More obviously very

368
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: upset with the Jets inactive. We talked about this a

369
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: little bit last week. After his tweet, it got a

370
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: little worse. Um, I'm told and I'm not again, this

371
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: is not me saying sources tell me. I'm just telling

372
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: you what I heard from people who would know. Uh,

373
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Elijah More extremely unhappy. Um, let's just say impactful parties

374
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: have tried to negotiate an exit for More and I'm

375
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: talking important people, and the Jets have said no, too bad.

376
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: He's going to have to fix this because we're not

377
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: trading him. More also claimed that he had like a

378
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: foot injury and the Jets kind of it didn't It

379
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: was something that the Jets did not say is something

380
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: he should rest. Bottom line it's getting ugly between those two.

381
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: But perhaps this Brieft Hall injury. Now again, Elijah More's

382
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: a bell cow, but you line him up in the

383
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: backfield and you've got to respect him on the swing passes.

384
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: He's got deadly speed. Barrios obviously is another weapon. But like,

385
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: this is the Jets, folks, This is okay. Zack Wilson

386
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: sixteen of one yards. He had one pass completed over

387
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: for over fifteen yards. I looked at his pass chart

388
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: because I'm a loser, I'm a Jets fan. One pass

389
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: completion over fifteen yards in the entire game. That's it.

390
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: He did not complete a pass that was thrown air

391
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: yards ten or more downfield over five He completed eight

392
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: passes at or behind the line of scrimmage. This is

393
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: the Mark Sanchez Jets all over again. That's what they're doing.

394
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: I've even mentioned to Sanchez. He agrees totally. Robert Sala

395
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: is Rex Ryan, but nicer and handsommer, Mark Sanchez is

396
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, Sean Green Ladanian, Tomlinson. They're Breece Hall and

397
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Michael Carter obviously younger versions Garrett Wilson. Like this is

398
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: what the Jets did. To go to straight an FC

399
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: championship games. They won the defense, running the football, and

400
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: special teams and on the road. Mark Sanchez won four

401
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: playoff games. He did have to make a couple of comebacks,

402
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: he was solid, and they never got to the Super Bowl.

403
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: I this just team is obviously limited. I don't think

404
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: they're going to Super Bowl. But to be five and two,

405
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm a static. This is at least excitement for me

406
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: and to the guys who are like they have no chance,

407
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: they stink. I get that, I understand that. But after

408
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: a decade of futility, the longest playoff drought in the

409
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: NFL by far, by the way, the Jets have something

410
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: to cheer about. They're excited, and this is the beauty

411
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Look at the I did the NFC

412
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: standings earlier. Go ahead and look at the NFC standings. Guys,

413
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: take a look. How many of these teams beyond Buffalo

414
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: in Kansas City did you think would be in this

415
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: position after seven weeks? The New York Jets five and two,

416
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans four and two, the Miami Dolphins four

417
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and three, and remember Dolphins did have a backup quarterback

418
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: for two of those games, and probably more than two

419
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: if you count half the Bengals game right um, and

420
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: obviously last week and then the Jets game last week

421
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. The Charges are four and three, but

422
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: they're in rough shape. Bengals are four and three. UM

423
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: playoff teams from a year ago. Vegas Raiders two and four.

424
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Nice win, but Denver two and five. I feel like

425
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: Denver's done. And I know you never want to call

426
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: week eight and an elimination, but Denver plays at Jacksonville

427
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: in London. Jacksonville look really good at two and one.

428
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: Loser of this game's gotta be done right in London

429
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: six thirty am. I don't see a world where Denver

430
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: in that tough division with the Chief's running away with it,

431
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: or Jacksonville in that division where they can't seem to

432
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: get out of their own way. Loser of this game's toast. Um.

433
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend any time on Jacksonville, but I

434
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: will say some nice things about the New York Giants,

435
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: because apparently I've said some negative things on the herd

436
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: about the Giants, and people are all worked up or

437
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: you're a hater, listen. Bottom line, the Giants are the

438
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: luckiest team in the league. We know that. It's not

439
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: a knock. They've been luckier than the Jets. Why do

440
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: I say luck Well, they've trailed in every game. They

441
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: have almost trailed in every fourth quarter. They did trail

442
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: on the fourth quarter against Ravens, got two nice turnovers.

443
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: They're trailing against Jacksonville. Let's see here, seventeen thirteen, six

444
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: minutes left. You're thinking, all right, they're gonna lock the

445
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: game up, and they have a fourth and one and

446
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence cannot sneak it. And listen, I'm all for

447
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: the sneak. That one hurt their fourth and one at

448
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: the New York Giants twenty he gets stuffed, You get that.

449
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's game over, but it's it's

450
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: sure as hell is close. The Giants then go on

451
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: at ten play seventy nine yard drive, ending with, of course,

452
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: a sa Kwan Barkley. I'm sorry, not Quon Barkley. That

453
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: was Daniel Jones touchdown run, Jags three and out Giants

454
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: field goal. Jags cannot finish. Folks, I don't know what

455
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: to make of the Jags. I mean, I don't want

456
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: to kill Trevor Lawrence. But you know, guys, turnovers matter,

457
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: and when you turn them. When you have a turnover

458
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: as the Jags did, and you turn it over on

459
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: fourth down, it's just it's tough to overcome in the

460
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: Jacks at seven point oh yards per play four fifty

461
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: two yards. If you just looked at the box score,

462
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh well, the penalties are not good. Well, they were

463
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: better than the Giants in the red zone. They had

464
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: more yards, they had more yards per play. How did

465
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: they lose this game? Well, that fourth down conversion killed him.

466
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: And it's a Jack seem like a lot And it's

467
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: just it's a tough one for Trevor Lawrence. It's not

468
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: like he's gonna get bench or anything. E t N

469
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: look good. E t N had the fumble walking into

470
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: the end zone. You can't fumble on the goal line, guys.

471
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Is the NFL can't do that? Um? What other games

472
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: do I need to talk about besides the Giants? Just

473
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: so we should talk about the Chiefs another game. I

474
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: was right on a lot of people wanted San Frand

475
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: and that I said no way, Andy read to Mahomes

476
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: and this other thing. I flagged this because I saw

477
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: so many. I don't I don't mean so many people

478
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: talking about this. Patrick Mahomes has the lowest fourth quarter

479
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: passer rating in the league. What's wrong with Patrick Holmes?

480
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter? I was like, huh, because they're

481
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: winning by a lot or maybe through an interception against

482
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: the Bills or something. Folks, Patrick Mahomes against San Francisco,

483
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: best defense in the league. I know they're beat up.

484
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: Had a perfect passer rating in the fourth quarter on Sunday,

485
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: perfect against a great defense. Now I know the defense

486
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: has beat up, but the Chiefs just destroyed them in

487
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 1: the second half. Forty had no chance. Jimmy g had

488
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: a tough interception and late in the first half. Otherwise

489
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: he played okay brock Purty mop up duty. But this

490
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City team man Juju Smith Schuster looks like a

491
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: new guy. He looks like rookie Juju. Remember how good

492
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: he was in Pittsburgh and then he kind of faded

493
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: because if apparently it went to his head and he

494
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: thought he was the man. He looked incredible. MVS. Going Deep,

495
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey as usual, Mikole Hardman, if you have him

496
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: in Fantasy, congratulations on your victory. Three touchdowns. I don't know.

497
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey again, only a few touches, a couple of

498
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: nice runs, two receptions. Again, I'm not selling the Niners.

499
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: I just can they overcome the injuries? This is the

500
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners issue since they've had Shanahan every year. Man,

501
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: why are they so hurt? And again, the other team

502
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: you can look at always injured are the Chargers. Somebody

503
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: put together a list of all the charges are are

504
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: hurt and I know that we've done this with Denver.

505
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: They had I believe six players on I R excuse me,

506
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: and something like seventy one million dollars in salary cap

507
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: money on injuries. Well, this is the Chargers injury list.

508
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: Bosta did not play, Slater is out for the year.

509
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: He's maybe their best offensive lineman. Receivers Jalen Guyton hurt,

510
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: Donald Parham hurt, their thumper, running back Josh Kelly short

511
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: yardage guy hurt. Mike Williams now hurt. Don't know how

512
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: long he's out. J C. Jackson dislocated kneecap, done for

513
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: the season, can't stay healthy And everybody wants to say,

514
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: well Brandon just Daley he's gotta go. Okay, Sean Payton,

515
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: everybody says Sean Payton. Um, I'll do everything short of

516
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: asking Sean Payton next time I see him, Hey, you're

517
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: taking the Charger's job. But for whatever reason, when I

518
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: watched them, their offense happens in like a phone booth.

519
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: Every throw is super short right at the line of scrimmage.

520
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: That probably has to do with the line not being

521
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: able to protect Herbert. But goodness gracious, you know, I'm

522
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: watching that game and the Jets and of course Chiefs diners,

523
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: and you look up and it's like, um, Chargers go

524
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: front on fourth down, Seattle touchdown, Chargers interception, Seattle touchdown,

525
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,239
Speaker 1: Seattle field, and it's like seventeen nothing. I was like,

526
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on here? DK Metcalff goes out.

527
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, all that's that's good. Gino Pumpkin, we

528
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: know he's gonna turn Gino Smith, we know he's gonna

529
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: turn into a pumpkin. You know, makes plays and then

530
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: the hammer. Kenneth Walker, the kid out of Michigan State.

531
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: How how much juice does he have? I mentioned Breece

532
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: Hall has got juice. Kenneth Walker now this is what stings.

533
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: My my son has Kenneth Walker and Fantasy. I told

534
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: him you gotta pick up Kenneth Walker as soon as

535
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: Penny got hurt. So in one league, Kenneth Walker gets

536
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: him twenty eight points and he rolls. In the other

537
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: the opponent had Kenneth Walker and his late down, last

538
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: guy to play. My son loses by like five tough one,

539
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: tough break for him, But Kenneth Walker. Man, this is

540
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: Seattle team. That's they're kind of spicy. Six point four

541
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: yards per play. Remember a week ago, Russell, Wilson and

542
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: Denver could do nothing on this Chargers defense. Nothing. They

543
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: I think had one touchdown. That's it Seattle four yards,

544
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: six yards per play, and that they had two turnovers

545
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: themselves and still scored thirty seven points. This is a

546
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks team. They're kind of a truck guys. It's a

547
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit scary just how good they are. I think

548
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: that just about covers every game. That kind of matters

549
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: if you're if you're looking at the best teams in

550
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: the league right now, I think without question it has

551
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: to be Buffalo Kansas City one too, and after that

552
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: it's Eagles. But after that, this is there's a thick

553
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: middle class in the NFL that is a little crazier

554
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: than ever. I can't put the Packers in that top

555
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: tier anymore. I can't put Tampa in that top tier.

556
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: They're just not there. I think the Bengals look good

557
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: against the team that did not, for some reason, play

558
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: the two high shell look. It's given Burrow problems. I

559
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: mean Burrow had three yards at the half, three touchdowns

560
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: and with four one Jamaar Chase gritting all over the

561
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: place Tyler Boyd. I mean that when the Bengals offense

562
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: gets a chance to make the big place, I mean

563
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: Boyd caught a sixty yard or Chase a forty one yard.

564
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: These are big play touchdowns. You can't just give up.

565
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: And the Falcons look like they were just trying to

566
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: get home without an injury, you know, to Marcus Mariota

567
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: or their season then would be total toast. But overall

568
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: a good week in the NFL. Oh I should I

569
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: should round out with Dallas and Detroit, so everybody will

570
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: see Dallas Detroit six and be like, oh, Dallas killed him,

571
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: not even close. That is could not be farther from

572
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: the truth, couldn't The Detroit Lions were covering this game,

573
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: folks of the first fifty five minutest minutes, and then

574
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliot scores on a one yard touchdown run, mostly

575
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: thanks to Jared Goff's ineptitude. Listen, I know people love

576
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: the the Detroit Lions, and they're plucky and the people

577
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: are rooting for them. Jared Goff had two brutal picks.

578
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: Just what are you doing, dude, You're like a seven

579
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: year veteran and you're throwing that interception. And worse yet,

580
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: he had two fumbles and it's like, I bet on

581
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: this guy. And Detroit had fumbled to goal line by Williams,

582
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: who had actually in a nice game, the running back

583
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams. So you're never winning a game on the

584
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: road when you turn the ball over five times, Like,

585
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: come on, it's just brutal. And the one time they

586
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: get in the red zone the fumble at any rate,

587
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: Detroit down ten six, they give up the Zeke Elliott touchdown.

588
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: I like, all right, you know we got a chance

589
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: at the back door. Maybe golf can make something happen.

590
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: What do you think golf does instantly fumbles the ball?

591
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: It's just like I can't. So this is what And

592
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: if you listen to Friday's rant, if you didn't, if

593
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: you're just tuning in now and you missed Friday, what

594
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: we do the picks? I said, I didn't love this

595
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: weekend because it's tough for me. Even though I'm putting

596
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: my money on a team like the Detroit Lions, I'm

597
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: putting my money on a team like the Washington Commanders.

598
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: It's tough for me to tell you, not knowing your

599
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: station in life or what you're betting, or kids, wife,

600
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: what all that fun stuff comes into account, it's tough

601
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: for me to tell you to do that. Because Jared

602
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Goff afternoons like that happened. Now, I did come through

603
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: betting on Kenny Pickett on the Road in the contest

604
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: three and two. I came through betting Jacoby Brissette on

605
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: the Road. UM I did lose on Tom Brady, But

606
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's just tough. Like Davis Mills, I really

607
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: wanted to take Houston in the contest. Luckily I tapped

608
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: out of them early. UM I did bet on them.

609
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 1: They did not come through. But overall, like Geno Smith

610
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: on the Road, Cover Machine, Patrick Mahomes on the road

611
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: A little different there, Zach Wilson on the road, Like

612
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: some of these road teams really showed out. New York

613
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Giants deliver and again quarterbacks are not throwing for a

614
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of yards. Daniel Jones two and

615
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: two yards in the air victory. You know, it's just

616
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: it was another mildly crazy Sunday in the NFL. Al Right,

617
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: before we get to best bet, quickly give a reluctant

618
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: shout out to the Houston Astros. They sweep, the Yankees

619
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: get to the World Series. More importantly, the Philadelphia Phillies

620
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: and Bryce Harper, who's so easy to root for. You

621
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: gotta love Bryce Harper. A bomb hits, an eighth thinning

622
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: bomb that ultimately gives the Phillies the fourth three win.

623
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: Padres couldn't make it happen, and I got a Phillies

624
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: Astros World Series. I will obviously be rooting for the Phillies.

625
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: Might even order one of those cool nineteen eighties Phillies shirts.

626
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: I love the powder blue is it the powder blue?

627
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: And like the maroon um so I'll be rooting Phillies. Sorry,

628
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: Houston fans. I already have an Astros throwback hat. I

629
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: will not be wearing that this week or in the

630
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: near future. Right, we but one more thing before we

631
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: get to the best bet the NBA. So I'm not

632
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: doing NBA fantasy now, I'm not really gambling on NBA,

633
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: but obviously I follow it every single night. I'll put

634
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: in thirty minutes in case I wasn't able to watch

635
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: the games, just combing through box scores and looking at

636
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: how teams are are shaping out. And again Friday Saturday

637
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: was a little wonky. You had some random results in there,

638
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: like the Spurs beating the Sixers, the Sixers fall to

639
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: oh and three. It's like, okay, j you had them

640
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: as the number one seed. Yeah, bizarre. I don't what

641
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: am I gonna tell you? Um there was another one Saturday.

642
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh but then Da Dallas Mavericks. So they played two games.

643
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: They've had a twenty plus point lead in each of

644
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: the two games. Okay, Luka, Donston looks incredible. My Sacramento

645
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: Kings lost a heartbreakers Saturday night to the Clippers. So

646
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: then Sunday, Lakers playing in the middle of the day,

647
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at I'm following the Lakers game, but

648
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: with like eight NFL games it's tough. I say that

649
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: the Hawks lose my Hawks. You know, a couple of

650
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: teams of really behind the Hawks. They lost to the Hornets.

651
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how that f that happened. Uh the

652
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: you Tak Jazz are now three and oh but again,

653
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: eighty two games. Three games is the equivalent of what like,

654
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: maybe you're midway through the second quarter of one NFL

655
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: game in Week one, like that's how little this is.

656
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: Timberwolves another win, Warriors beat my Kings, Mike King's faulter

657
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: and three. But it's not over. They're gonna be fine.

658
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Paper Clips lose to the Sons. They did have Kauai.

659
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Chris Paul, that's a major storyline.

660
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: Chris Paul looking totally like a we want to save

661
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: him for the playoffs or be we don't even know

662
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: if he's going to have anything in the playoffs. He's

663
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: not playing a lot of minutes in the fourth quarter,

664
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: he's not scoring, he's just not doing anything. But the

665
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: game of the day Sunday was Lakers Blazers. Blazers make

666
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: everything in the first half. Lakers take a lead down

667
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: the stretch and where it started to go sideways, was

668
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers tried to do a two for one. Right,

669
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: there's like thirty seconds left in the game. I think

670
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think they were up by one.

671
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: They try to do it two for one. This is

672
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: where the problem begins. Russell Westbrook just so happened to

673
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: have the ball in his hands coming up the court.

674
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: And in a massive indictment of Russell Westbrook, probably the

675
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: biggest one of his career, Chauncey Billups said afterward, we

676
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: put Nurkics our center, and now he's a turnstyle. We

677
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: know this, right, Nurkic just Serbian for turnstyle or whatever.

678
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha. They put their center. They're plotting white,

679
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: big seven foot center on Russell Westbrook because in Chunky

680
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: Billets admitted this. Oh yeah, well, you know, we can

681
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: lay off him a little bit. So Russell Westbrook coming

682
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: down the break not really a fast break. It was

683
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 1: like early offense. He dribbles in beyond the three point line. Alright,

684
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: good job, you're not taking about three. It takes like

685
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: an uncontested toll further. And you can look at the

686
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: video on social Nurkics essentially like waves his hand like

687
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead and shoot that whatever, and Russ

688
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: misses it and groans in the crowd. There's a video

689
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: circulating from like the Lakers community, which is a bunch

690
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: of passionate folks. You could they have the cameras isolated

691
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: on a D and Lebron and they both have their

692
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: hands out, palms up, like what are you doing? Two

693
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: for one? I get it, but to not have lebrono

694
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: a Di touched the ball at all. And so what

695
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: happens to Portland comes down? Damian Lillard scores a three

696
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: and Lakers score. Next thing you know, it's tied, and

697
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant scores the game winner on Lebron. Lakers lose.

698
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: They fall to oh and three. Now, Damian Lillard had

699
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: forty one. He was incredible, But again the number that

700
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: is so troubling for the Lakers. Lebron had thirty one,

701
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: eight and eight. He was good. Russell Westbrook was four

702
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: or fifteen. The Lakers were eight of thirty three on

703
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: three pointers. Let that sink in eight of thirty three.

704
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: I'll help you out, math majors out. If they're not

705
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: last in the league of three point shooting, they're certainly

706
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: close to it. And for all these media members that

707
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 1: wanted to defend Russell Westbrook guys on the season one

708
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: of twelve from deep from the field, he's shooting? Why

709
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: should why should they hold onto this guy? I know you,

710
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: we don't want to give up the draft picks. Do

711
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: you also know that how far you could fall behind

712
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: if you don't give up the draft picks? Now? I'm

713
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: nobody thinks Buddy Heals is the greatest player on earth.

714
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: But when you've got lebron A d Miles Turner, Buddy Healed,

715
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley, who is okay? I think Lonnie Walker is

716
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: the third best player now, and I don't know that

717
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: you're really a playoff team. I might have been wrong

718
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: about the Lakers. I hate to admit this early that

719
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: I was that wrong after three games, but I thought

720
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: they would at least be winning against like a team

721
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: like Portland's. Like, really, this is a devastating loss. And

722
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: my guy a rash Markazi. I'm sure you guys have

723
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: know him. He's been on the hill. He's an l

724
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: a reporter. He posted on Twitter a video of Russell

725
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: Westbrook at his locker, answering questions about what happened, and

726
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and the crowd, and when you get

727
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: to that granular of a level, you're like, damn, I

728
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: kind of feel bad for this guy. I don't think

729
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: he's crying at night because he's making forty seven million

730
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: dollars this season, which breaks down to I don't know what,

731
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: like one point six million a game. I mean, it's insane.

732
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: He's making the second most money in the league this

733
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: year behind Steph Curry, and the Lakers don't want him,

734
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: and frankly nobody wants him. It's incredible how far he's

735
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: fallen so fast. I mean, we've talked about on this spot.

736
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: He's he's falling fast. He's gonna be out of league quickly.

737
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: But like to see it up close on the Lakers

738
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 1: is really painful. So listen, Lakers got to do something

739
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: sooner than later. This idea I saw warden Narowski was

740
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: talking about, Oh, they don't want to do anything, you

741
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: know for the first thirty games. Thirty games, what if

742
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: you're tenant twenty you're digging out of that hole. Come on,

743
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, just super disappointing. All Right, I've rambled

744
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: enough on the Lakers. Just a Monday NFL podcast Starry

752
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, just a lot of stuff to get

753
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: off my chest. But we will, as always wrap up

754
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: with a Monday Night football play. And if you guys

755
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: were listening to the pod last week, you know that

756
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm all in. Yes, I am on Mac Jones or

757
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: Bailey z Appy and the Patriots. The numbers up to nine,

758
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: now that is significant. I definitely would not bet double

759
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: digits here on the Patriots, even at home because the

760
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they're so limited a quarterback they cannot really

761
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: get separation. But I am on the Patriots here. It's

762
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: just it's listen. This will be a good caper to

763
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: what was a good, not great weekend. Lions really screwed me,

764
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: um Texans kind of screwed me late. Overall, it was

765
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: a very good Sunday. I think it will be it

766
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: will be close to great. If the New England Patriots

767
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: can cover, I just would love a comfortable win. We

768
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 1: know what Belichick does to some of these young quarterbacks

769
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: and young coaches. It's not rocket science. Belichick's dominant. A

770
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, the Detroit Lions, with the highest

771
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: scoring team in the league. They came to the Patriots

772
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: with uh, their fast offense, and they would looking good.

773
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: They got shut out. So now you're bringing on Justin Fields,

774
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: who increasingly is looking like a one read quarterback and

775
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: limited offensive weapons. Maybe they can get some uh some

776
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: action in the run game Montgomery or Khalil Herbert, who's

777
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: now on my fantasy bench. But other than I just

778
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: don't see what the Bears can do. Now there is

779
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: a chance that hey, Zappy turns into a pumpkin, assuming

780
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: he gets the start. So there's an interception, they have

781
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: a fumble and they cannot get separation, and this ends

782
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: up being like a ten six kind of game. And

783
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: then I don't get the cover. I can see that,

784
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: But you're looking at special teams. Patriots had the edge.

785
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: You're looking at defense. I think the Patriots had the edge,

786
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: and just from a team that's gonna make fewer mistakes.

787
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: I've got to go Patriots. That's what they do. So

788
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the Patriots here. I did not touch the total.

789
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: I hope now we could get there. I'll just say this,

790
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: the Jets are visiting. I'm sorry. The Jets visited Denver

791
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: and are now at home against New England this coming Sunday,

792
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: Patriots on a short week. We know what Belichick does

793
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: to young quarterbacks. Zach Wilson was bombarded last year by

794
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: Belichick twice. It was ugly both times. I would love

795
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: to make this a revenge spot for Zack Wilson, but

796
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: given what we've seen with him the last three weeks

797
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: where he doesn't have to do anything, and the Jets,

798
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: I believe they did not trail. Maybe you know, they

799
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: did not trail against the Broncos. They did not trail

800
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: against the Packers. They did trail against Pittsburgh and we

801
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: saw him have to come back. Um, they did not

802
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: trail against the what was the other game there was Dolphins? Dolphins,

803
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: they did not trail. Basically, Zach Wilson has been playing

804
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: from ahead or even and they don't need to ask

805
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: him to do anything. My fear is Patriots go up

806
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: tend nothing. Can Zach Wilson orchestra to come back. And

807
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: I just don't have a lot of faith. And I

808
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: know I'm looking ahead to next week, but is there

809
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: an off chance? I don't know. This is gonna sound crazy.

810
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Patriots players have seen the Jets moved to five and two.

811
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: Everybody watch that game New England Patriots on Sunday. All

812
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots players, Damn Jets are second in the division. Man,

813
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: we were playing them this week. Remember we killed them

814
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: last year, and they start thinking about the Jets and

815
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: perhaps against the Bears overlooked them early. There's a scenario

816
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: where that happens. And I know you'll say Belichick would

817
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: never let that happen. Folks, we're talking about young twentysomething millionaires.

818
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: You don't think they were watching the Jets and hearing

819
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: all this New York, New York Giant six and one,

820
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: Jets five and two, Buffalo, uh five and one. I

821
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: think they were on the bi Yeah. New York is

822
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: the capital of the NFL. Right now, you don't think

823
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: the Patriots here that stuff and are adversely affected. Now

824
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: the opposite could be true. Oh we're fired up, We're

825
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna show the Jets, we're gonna kill him, and the

826
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: Patriots put it on him. I just these primetime games

827
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: have been weirdly close. Even with that Dolphins Pittsburgh game,

828
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: Miami jumps up thirteen nothing. I got a buddy who

829
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 1: goes to a lot of Pittsburgh games, and we're texting

830
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: on my this feels over. Pittsburgh's desperate, and Miami just

831
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: did nothing the rest of the way. I was stunned

832
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh able to get the cover. Um So, anyways, I'm

833
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: on the Patriots this week, and I know I just

834
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: crowbarded the Jets in for a little bit more. I apologize.

835
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you tomorrow.
