Speaker 1: the year in the NFL, this upcoming weekend, which ironically

39
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: is not not the Thursday night NFL game between Sam

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,639

00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,200

Speaker 1: We go to Jerry's World and you are listening live

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: as the hype gets cranked up here for what is

44
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: being described as.

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: A Super Bowl level coverage for a Sunday night game.

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers, fresh off losing to Joe Flacco

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns. The Green Bay Packers with Micah

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Parsons take on Dallas Cowboys Sunday Night football. So the

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons revenge game, and this is the thing everyone's

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: talking about. At prem episode of this show, we discussed

51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: the reality that Micah Parsons was talking out of both

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: sides of his mouth.

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: He was giving mixed messages.

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Well, there's some new information out around this game, and

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: that is the head coach. I say that he's a

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: figurehead in Dallas who has now entered the chat and

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: would like to have his saying this.

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: We're talking about Cowboys.

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Coach Brian Schottenheimer, who downplayed attempted to downplay the impact

60
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: of the Micah Parsons trade as his team off to

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the one and two start as they head into Week four.

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer said, quote, we have not been playing to the standard.

63
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: That's a big word, it's a word of the week standard.

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: We have not been playing to the standard that would

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: what we would want to play with, he said. But

66
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: if we had Micah, you can't predict. Schottenheimer said, you

67
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: can't predict that we'd be playing any better, he told

68
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: they gaggle of reporters, and Day says, are you are

69
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: you three and zero? Are you zero and three? You

70
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: don't know, man, those are projections.

71
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: Close quote.

72
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's good jumping off point. Let us discuss

73
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the question. Brian Schottenheimer, coach in name only. Coach in

74
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: name only, Brian Schottenheimer says, you cannot predict if the

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys will be playing any better with Micah Parsons on

76
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: that defense had that trade not happened.

77
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: Does this make sense to you? So I've got on

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: this one.

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: I've got wedding cake, I've got shoelaces and lunch box,

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: and we'll put all these things together. We're gonna make

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: a French onion burger, is what. We're gonna make a

82
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: burger with the French onion to dip there. That's what

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. So a listen. Unpopular opinion. I actually

84
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: agree with Brian Schottenheim on this.

85
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: I do.

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: I didn't detect any lies, and it's one of the

87
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: oldest tricks. You learn this when you get in a

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: talk radio, and I'm guilty of it. Every once in a while,

89
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: But hypotheticals are great. And the reason hypotheticals are great

90
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: is you're never wrong. You are never wrong. When you

91
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: dabble in hypotheticals. It's impossible to prove you wrong, right,

92
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: It's impossible to prove you right. You can't prove or

93
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: disprove a hypothetical because they're hypotheticals.

94
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: And now I do believe in the multiverse.

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: And so there is a dimension where Michael Parsons stayed

96
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: in Dallas and the Cowboys have the same exact record.

97
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: There's also a dimension where Parsons stays in Dallas and

98
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: they have a better record. But I do know that

99
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is not he man. I know that he's not.

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: That he's not.

101
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Walking out of the tunnel with the sword yelling by

102
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: the power of Greyskull. He's not doing that. And then

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: suddenly the Cowboys win. No, Michael Parsons is an impact guy. However,

104
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: he is not a.

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: One man demolition crew.

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: And the idea that the Cowboys' entire defense and the

107
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: secondary mainly collapsing and in harassmen when they played the

108
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, if you want to call it that, and

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: that Parsons being out.

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: There, they would have been a different situation.

111
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: It's just nonsense. It's absolute nonsense. And so on this one,

112
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: shady Shotty is telling you what you already know, that

113
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: the suck runs deep in Dallas for their football team,

114
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: and it's systemic dysfunction and incompetence. The defense is like

115
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: a poorly made wedding cake. There's layers upon layers of problems.

116
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: And you could have Micah Parsons on one side, Lawrence

117
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Taylor on the other. Put Ray Lewis out there somewhere.

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't put bat Batman out there. I don't care

119
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: put Batman out there. And they still be giving up

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: chunk plays because there as one pundit said, they're doing

121
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: a cover zero is what they're doing. They're covering No One,

122
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: the cover zero defense of the Dallas Cowboys. And so

123
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Schottenneimer is es sense telling you. He's telling me without

124
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: saying it, that they've got no depth, they have no creativity.

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: They can't cover for the mistakes, which is mostly what

126
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: coaching is. You cover for the shortcomings of your players.

127
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: And it appears some of these guys have no backbone.

128
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys coach is pretty much admitting that listen,

129
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Micah was good, He's not.

130
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: A miracle worker.

131
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Translation, we stank and we'd stank with him as well.

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: And yes, so keep in mind Green Bay has Micah

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Parsons and they just lost to a team led by

134
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco and his dad Jeans.

135
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: So congratulations on that.

136
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Now, turning the page to Atlanta, we go, why quarterback drama?

137
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: Quarterback drama? We love quarterback drama. So the Falcons, who.

138
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Every year are supposed to be good and then usually

139
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: pretty mediocre.

140
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: Pretty mediocre.

141
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: So Falcons coach Rahem Morris declared that he is not

142
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: considering benching incompetent quarterback Michael Pennex junior and making a

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: move permanent to the veteran Kirk Cousins as the starting QB,

144
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: and Morris explaining that quote, Pennix is.

145
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: Is our guy.

146
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Still, he's our guy until I let you guys know,

147
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: all right, well, just to prove I'm not making this up,

148
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: here's why. He Morris commenting on Michael Pennex and the

149
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: situation there in Atlanta, Tikolaus, he said, sunny Kirk kwall

150
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Baker Pete for the starting job.

151
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: Meltwad why Mike's out quarterback, you know, like Mike's at quarterback.

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 5: We got a lot of confidence in Mike. We're moving

153
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 5: forward with Mike. Mike's the guy. Mike is the guy

154
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: until I'd let you guys know otherwise.

155
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: But Mike so guy. Okay, he's your guy. Stand by

156
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: your guy.

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: As you heard and later on, is not even close

158
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: to the point where Penex would be demoted. He was

159
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: benched in the game against Carolina over the week. And

160
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: so the question, how do you categorize the Falcons what

161
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: appears to be blind loyalty to quarterback Michael Pennex Junior.

162
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: All right, so on this one, we don't know what

163
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris is watching. Maybe he's not watching the games.

164
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing. Maybe he's got like

165
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: a tablet, he's watching some other games here. However, the

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: games we've watched when we flipped over to watch the Falcons,

167
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: that Michael Pennex Junior hasn't shown us anything that would

168
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: indicate that he's going to be a long term good

169
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: option at quarterback in Atlanta. Certainly nothing to have blind confidence,

170
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, zippo, zilch bupkis all those things. He's the

171
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: thirtieth rank quarterback in the league so far this year.

172
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: Small sample size, but that's all we have to go with.

173
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: And if he's the answer, I do not want to know.

174
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: If he's the answer, I do not want to know

175
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 3: what the question was. I don't want to know. Now.

176
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not sitting here and singing the virtues of

177
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.

178
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: He's got his own issues.

179
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: But you're paying kirkus starter money to essentially be a

180
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: quarterback coach. While Penex looks like he's afraid to throw

181
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: over the middle.

182
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,359
Speaker 3: Everything is a checkdown.

183
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: You look at the spray chart on where Penex throws

184
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball and almost everything is to the dump off

185
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: area on the right side or the left side of

186
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: the field. There's almost nothing in the middle of the field.

187
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: They attempted one pass in the middle of the field,

188
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: So he's Charlie checkdown and you've got Raheem Morris who's

189
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: doubling down on Charlie checkdown. And one of the things

190
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: he was like, he really just had a bad game.

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't just a bad game. It was not it's

192
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: three bad games. And really the games he played last

193
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: year were not all that impressive either. Michael pennex to

194
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: this point, and again, I like the player in college,

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: but I'm just being fair here in the NFL. Michael Pennix, junior,

196
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: the highlight of his career so far is the fact

197
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: that he did not trip over his own shoelaces.

198
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: Running out of the locker room and down the tunnel. Congratulations.

199
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And while you look at this, whether it's regressing or

200
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: this is just who he is, Raheem Morris is standing

201
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and getting buried neck deep in quick

202
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: sent He sucked as a head coach the first time,

203
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: and it appears he still blows as a head coach.

204
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: But he's really nice and the guy that owns home Depot,

205
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: that owns the Falcons likes him a lot. So the

206
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Carolina loss wasn't just a bad game. That was a

207
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: total organizational no show. They got shut out thirty and

208
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: to zhering by one of the most god awful teams

209
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and they appear to have some problems

210
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: admitting and I can't understand why they don't want to

211
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: admit Michael Pennix is not any good at this point

212
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: and may never be any good because they don't want

213
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to go back to Cousins, because then they would be

214
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: admitting we fed up because we already benched Cousins. That

215
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: was a vote of no confidence. We think he can't play. Okay, fine,

216
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: you think he can't play. So then you drafted this

217
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: guy's insurance. Well, your insurance is a bad, insane insurance policy,

218
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: and you you know it's not worth anything. So you

219
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: got bad insurance on the You had the original investment

220
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: which was bad. Then you doubled down on some insurance

221
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: saying one of these ways is gonna work then and

222
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: the insurance isn't good. Like then everyone loses their job.

223
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: So you have to go with Pedix, every dump off pass,

224
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: every incomplete pass, every every time he looks like a

225
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: deer in the headlights and he's hair brained.

226
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: You got to go with it, all right.

227
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Last word, we had a trade, not a big one,

228
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: but an interesting trade.

229
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: Now, not a big one, but an interesting trade. And

230
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why.

231
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: So the Jets picked up what the nerds tell me

232
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: is a very talented defensive back named Jarvis Brownlee Junior

233
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: from the Tennessee Titans for a pick swap in twenty

234
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: twenty six. So the question is why would the Tennessee

235
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Titans make what most say is a foolish trade based

236
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: on the talent of the player, Jarvis Brownlee. And is

237
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: this just an amazing mitzvah for the New York Jets.

238
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: So after a minutes long, a minute long deliberation, I

239
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: have determined it's for the culture. It's for the cultures.

240
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing here. This guy I don't know

241
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot about, Jarvis Brownlee Junior, bounced around, went to

242
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: I believe, Florida State and Louisville. But he has been

243
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: described as a nut, a cancer, and high maintenance. Strike one, strike, two,

244
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: strike three. I believe you're out unless Rob Manford adds

245
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: a fourth strike. But then you've got him going on

246
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: the defensive apparently, And he tried to delete this, and

247
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: so he went on social media, went on the defensive

248
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: about the attacks against his good name mentioned he deleted it,

249
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: and that is a dead de boy, that is a

250
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: dead do it that it's a sore subject. And teams,

251
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: even bad ones like the Tennessee Titans, and they do stink.

252
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: They don't dump cheap productive defensive backs unless unless they

253
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: think that they show up to the locker room and

254
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: they've got a lunch box, and in that lunch box,

255
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: it's filled to the very top of the lunch box,

256
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: which as best as it's a hogy, it's an as

257
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: best as hogy, and it's going to poison the locker room.

258
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: And then the Titans are saying, well, we essentially what

259
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: they're saying by the trades, we'd rather be bad and

260
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: have our wits to us then be bad and even

261
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: more dysfunctional. And so what a week it is for

262
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. They traded one of their somewhat productive

263
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: defensive backs, gave that player away, they demoted their offensive

264
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: play caller who's also their head coach. So things are

265
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: going very well there in Tennessee. And now the Jets

266
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: they're all feeling good about themselves because they get this

267
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: young player. And however, the teams always think that will

268
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: be the ones to fix them. Now, I will tell

269
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: you that, based on years of talk radio what sometimes happens.

270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: It'll work in the short term. Okay, to work with

271
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: the short term.

272
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: I've seen that with basketball players and football players, even baseball.

273
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: Guys that are little nut jobs on the.

274
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: Spectrum, that it'll work for maybe a year and then

275
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: eventually it blows up. Eventually it blows up, like Antonio

276
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Brown went to Tampa and it worked for a little

277
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: while and then it didn't work. And there's also another

278
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: piece of evidence when I started digging around here for

279
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: the player here, Jarvis brownly Junior was traded to the

280
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: Jets from the Titans. The draft is also a tell

281
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: that is a good piece of evidence because I went

282
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: back and I looked at my notes because I have

283
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: keep everything saved in my email here, and I went

284
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: back and I looked at the draft notes, and some

285
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: of the stuff that I read that my eyeballs want

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: to pop out of my head when I read this crap.

287
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: But I went back, and I don't really remember the player.

288
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: So I went back and I read the Scotty point

289
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: and said, well, he was greater as a first or

290
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: second round pick, character issues, and he ended up getting

291
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: drafted in the fifth round. So they don't always get

292
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: the draft right. They get it wrong a lot, but

293
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: on this one it appears they got it right. Teams

294
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: had heard that there were some issues there, and typically

295
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: typically there's some kind of smoke, there's usually some kind

296
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: of flame. That's normally how that goes there and so

297
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: the Titans it doesn't look like it based on how

298
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: they played so far this year, but in theory, they're

299
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: trying to build a very sturdy house there in Nashville.

300
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: And it's hard to build a sturdy house when you

301
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: get wood that already has termites in it, it's a bit.

302
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: Of a problem.

314
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: have time for.

00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, you blubber list me.

00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 6: be good at it because you've been over promising women

318

Speaker 1: up to the follow up.

366
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson mode it better.

367
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: Story is in the losing locker room, and that is

368
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: where Russ is hanging out these days, the losing locker room.

369
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: Even when he plays, he's in the losing locker room.

370
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: So Russell Wilson informing the assembled media that he will

371
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: not will not be requesting a trade or two be

372
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: released by the Giants this season. There had been some

373
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: speculation about that. He also wants you to know that

374
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,239
Speaker 1: he has not done. Let's go to cut two on that.

375
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: Here's a Russ pointing out he has not done.

376
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 3: I'm not done. I got so much belief in myself

377
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: and know what I'm capable of.

378
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 5: I believe I was able to show, especially you know

379
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: on the road in Dallas and everything else.

380
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: You played the Cowboys. I think I would have had

381
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: three touchdowns in that game.

382
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: All right, So let us discuss the key part of

383
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: this is Russ telling reporters that he won't be requesting

384
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: a trade or to be released by the Giants. So

385
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: the question should the Giants now back up quarterback Russell

386
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: Wilson be applauded for not demanding out of the Giants'

387
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: locker room. So I've seen some glowing stories saying well

388
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: Russ even in defeat, Russell's doing the right thing.

389
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: So my observations on this.

390
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: I've got the Ford Modeling Agency, overhead projector, and direct

391
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: deposit and we will combine all all of these things

392
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some delicious French

393
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: onion soup. Is what we're going to do. You're Babushka's

394
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: favorite French onion soup. So number W Now, the answer

395
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: to the question should Giants backup quarterback Russell Wilson be applauded.

396
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: For not demanding out? The answer is no. But I

397
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: have to do a talk show, so I can't just

398
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 3: say no.

399
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: I have to expand on that. Here's why I say no.

400
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: I can say absolutely not. That's two words. I said no,

401
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: and then I said absolutely not. Now up to three words.

402
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: But you don't commend someone for not quitting when the

403
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: truth is, and it's an ugly truth.

404
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: Nobody wants him.

405
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: See, it's not a situation where he's doing this because

406
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: he's loyalty. He's loyal It's not about loyalty for Russell Wilson,

407
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: it's about reality. There's a difference there. Russ is not

408
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: making some kind of noble stand here. He is a

409
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: floppy disc. He's dated tech, he's washed up. He's a

410
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: relic of a different era. He had his time in

411
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: the sun. Congratulations. But this is like we all know

412
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: somebody that still has a VCR, right, And it's like

413
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: that person that has the VCR in their living room

414
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: and they're bragging it's a conversation piece. Now it's like, well,

415
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: what do you have that? What's a VCR? I know

416
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: what it is, boy, i'd have it. Well, you know,

417
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: it's a throwback to the old days and all that.

418
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: And I just haven't decided I had that streaming thing.

419
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't like the streaming thing. I haven't switched to

420
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: streaming yet. Well I know, but you should do that.

421
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: It's better. No, No, I like the VCR.

422
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: So the way he's played, he's lucky that the Giants

423
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: are even paying him to pretend that he's a quarterback,

424
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: like as a backup. He's not a backup. I don't

425
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: think you can call him back. He's like working at

426
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: the Ford Modeling Agency as a clipboard model when he's

427
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: wandering around.

428
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: Mister, mister unlimited.

429
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: And if Russell Wilson had any value, and I guarantee

430
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm never wrong about these things, If Russell Wilson had

431
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: any value on the market, he would go to market.

432
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: If there was one GM who is stupid enough to say,

433
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: I need that guy, I need that's my guy, I

434
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: need Russell Wilson, then I guarantee you that his agent

435
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: would be tooting away there on the phone right now,

436
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: demanding the Giants release him or trade him and all

437
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: that through back channels. But the fact that he's not

438
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know about the value

439
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: of Russell. This is what we knew anyway privately, even

440
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: with that decree by Russ. Privately, you know his people

441
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: are working the text machine, trying to drum up some interest.

442
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: Out of thin air.

443
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: And what about Russ, how would you like to play

444
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: for the Bengals or whoever?

445
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: And the tape does not lie, and what's on the tape?

446
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: All right? So if it was a movie, it would

447
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: be a horror show, is what it would be.

448
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: It's jumps, jumps right off the video there, right off

449
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: the computer laptop, bad endings and the whole thing ghosts

450
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: and goblins. So again, this is not something you commend

451
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson for because you just acknowledged the obvious that

452
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's career, while he had some great moments in Seattle,

453
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: is on life support. He's been on life support through

454
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: three teams, now Denver, Pittsburgh, and now the Giants, and

455
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: he's hanging around because the Giants are the only ones

456
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: still footing the bill, although not very much because most

457
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: of Russ's money was based on the incentives, which you're

458
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: not going to cash in because.

459
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: You're not playing now.

460
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball commented the road Ton coach of the Giants,

461
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: who will be an offensive coordinator somewhere.

462
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: Next year, but not with the Giants.

463
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: But here's Brian day Ball, who gave his first comments

464
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 1: on the decision to say bye bye to Russ as

465
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: a starter taking list. I met both with Russ yesterday

466
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: and privately, and Russ was nothing but a pro, which

467
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: I expect them to be.

468
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 3: It's my decision. We're going with Jackson.

469
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 6: We're gonna get him ready to play this week and

470
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 6: the remainder of the season.

471
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: He's gonna do everything he can. Russe will be the backup.

472
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: It's my decision, and we're going with Jackson, all right.

473
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 1: So the key part of that he kept saying, it's

474
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: my decision, it's my decision. It's my decision, mad Yeah, okay,

475
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: which is a tell. It tells you that that was

476
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: one of the talking points that he wanted.

477
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: To get in.

478
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: He kept repeating it, like you go into these things

479
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: and you have a couple of points you want to make,

480
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: and so you keep going back to those points. Now,

481
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: there's another part of this where Brian day Ball did

482
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: not even tell the locker room. Right, people are up

483
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: in arms. I saw some things being passed around.

484
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 3: People say, oh, I can't believe this.

485
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe it that he decided to bench the

486
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Giants, Russell Wilson. He went this rookie

487
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart and the players found out on social media.

488
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: O MG, oh my god, says and so and of

489
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: course people are clutching pearls saying it's not right, it's

490
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: not fair.

491
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: All right.

492
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: So question, did Brian Dayball disrespect the Giant locker room?

493
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: Did he break the korum by not informing the players

494
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: at they were making a change and letting them find

495
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: out on social media about the quarterback change.

496
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: So my response on this is police, what are we

497
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 3: doing here. It's not nineteen eighty five, it's twenty twenty five. Okay.

498
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: You don't send a telegram, you don't send a carrier pigeon,

499
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: you don't send the pony Express. You don't post it

500
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: on a bulletin board next to the coffee machine. There's

501
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: a laundry schedule there.

502
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: In the break room.

503
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: It's Twitter, it's Instagram, it's TikTok.

504
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 3: Probably not Facebook, these guys are too young.

505
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: But that's the megaphone, right, that's the megaphone. That's the

506
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: way it works. And this isn't Bill Parcells calling a

507
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: team meeting and he's got the overhead projector and he

508
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: puts a thing on the projectors and that's how they

509
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: find out. I know, guys find out the news the

510
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: way the rest of the world does. They scroll, they swipe, boom,

511
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: goes to dynamite, done and listen. It's part of the

512
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 1: times we're in, right. People are chronically, whether you're an

513
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: NFL player just a regular smoll, you're chronically addicted to

514
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: the online world.

515
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 3: And they're just refreshing their feeds.

516
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: And before practice, if you played for Cliff Kingsbury back

517
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: in the day, during practice, probably in the huddle, the

518
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 1: whole thing, and you think Brian dayball owes each player

519
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 1: like a personal courtesy call, you know, like there's an

520
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: emergency and you send an emergency text out to everyone

521
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: and say, oh, here's what.

522
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: You need to do.

523
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: Foolish and let's not act like this is some massive scandal. Again,

524
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pearl clutching, a lot of that.

525
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: Even coaches themselves.

526
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: Have been finding out that they've been.

527
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: Fired via social media. The last coaching cycle where they

528
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: changed coach at Robert Sala, coach of the Jets, found

529
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: out on social media. Gerrod Mayo, the Patriots coach who

530
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: used to be the Patriots coach, he found out on

531
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: social media. And Matt Eberflus, the terrible Chicago Bears coach,

532
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: also found out.

533
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 3: They all got canned.

534
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: They saw confirmation on social media before the team officially

535
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: told them they were fired.

536
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 3: But that is the world that we live in. Man.

537
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Years ago, I got whacked by this company, and I

538
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: found out before they told me, and I found out

539
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: from the New York Post, who sent out a story

540
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: about it. So that's how I found out. Am I

541
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: still am I bitter? I wouldn't even better. At the time,

542
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I was like, all, well that sucks. I'll go get

543
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: another job.

544
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: That's it.

545
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm out and I six months in twenty six days

546
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: and that was that was away, and that was it.

547
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: But social media is the fire alarm, and if you

548
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: want news first, that's where it often breaks.

549
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: And complaining about it.

550
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: It's like being mad at your local gas station because

551
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: they don't have a payphone anymore and you wanted to

552
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: use a payphone.

553
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: Well, they don't need a payphone, they don't have it.

554
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: Get over it, Get over yourself.

555
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: This idea that players need to be coddled and sat

556
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: down and walked.

557
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: Through, it's just nonsense. It's nonsense.

558
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: They're not children. They're supposed to be pros. They act

559
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: like children a lot, but they're supposed to be pros.

560
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: And Brian dave Ball doesn't owe the room some kind

561
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: of group therapy session where they sit around the campfire,

562
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: roast marshmallows and sing Kumbaya. You want the news first,

563
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, we win some games, be indispensable and maybe

564
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: if you're one of those headline players, you'll get a

565
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: courtesy tap on the shoulder. Otherwise you get the same treatment.

566
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: Everyone else, the rank and file, get the hoypol ow.

567
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: You get the same treatment, just like if you were

568
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: nicking Nebraska. Right a push alert on your phone. The outrage,

569
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: it's faux outrage.

570
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: Is what it is.

571
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: Social media is the scoreboard of can Unication. Is the

572
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: jumbo tron right there. If you don't like it, you

573
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: can always take the blue pill. You can always take

574
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the blue pill, delete the app. The story ends. You

575
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: wake up in your bed, believe whatever you want to

576
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: believe because you don't have access to it, so you don't.

577
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: Know, and you don't know what you don't know. But

578
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: good luck doing that.

579
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: And these guys would rather have I'm convinced they would

580
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: rather give up oxygen the modern athlete than Instagram.

581
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: They would they would.

582
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, final point to motown we go and a question.

583
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: A question.

584
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: Some people are basically up in arms, you know, wringing

585
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: their hands. They're wringing their hands here that Lions quarterback

586
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: Jared Goff does not get enough love. He just needs

587
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: more love. He's underappreciated. So I asked the question is

588
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: Lions quarterback Jared Goff underappreciated after Detroit ended up stopping

589
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens back on Monday night. So the answer to

590
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: this is an overreaction. This is an overreaction. In fact,

591
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: if you look at my mallor scorecard, which is never wrong,

592
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: never wrong about these quarterbacks, never wrong about these quarters.

593
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: So if you look at it right there, if you

594
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: look at my scorecard, we put a graphic up, but

595
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: it's radio so you can't see it, and we don't

596
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: have graphics on the YouTube feed for this channel, so

597
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: you're pretty much stuck. But he's exactly where he needs

598
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: to be. Jared Goff is exactly where he needs to be.

599
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: He is not in the top percentile, he's not in

600
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: the bottom percentile. He's right in the middle. He's in

601
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: the middle of the pack. He's your standard dome quarterback.

602
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: You give Jared Goff perfect conditions, clean pocket, he will

603
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: carve you up. He will carve you up like your

604
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: prime rib. However, the second there's any kind of adversity,

605
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: cold weather, defensive pressure gets right in his face.

606
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: Forget about it, forget about it.

607
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: He turns into all pumpkin pumpkin, and Jared Goff.

608
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: Is he's not some plucky underdog.

609
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: That's the other thing, Like it's it's very We've had

610
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: a couple of quarterbacks who were number one picks in

611
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: the draft who have really leaned in, really leaned in

612
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: to the fact that they're the the underdog, right, they

613
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: really lean to that. Baker Mayfield in Tampa. But Jared

614
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: Goff also, I guess the number one broke the button

615
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: broke on that, but a little delayed.

616
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: But these guys were the top pick in the draft.

617
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

618
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: Like Jared Goff, if you were the number one overall

619
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: pick in the draft he was in twenty sixteen, you

620
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: can't say, well, I was, I was underappreciated and all that. No, no,

621
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: that that's not possible. He was spoon fed in la

622
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: by Sean McVeigh and then spoon fed in Detroit by

623
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. And you put training wheels on Jared Goff

624
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: and he can ride the bike, ride the bike. You

625
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: take them off and he's wobbling all over the place.

626
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: And let's not act like the league doesn't appreciate him.

627
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: What is the what is the way that you are

628
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: shown appreciation.

629
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: In that business? Uh, if you you want to cue

630
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: up the old.

631
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: Respect song from Aretha Franklin back in the day riespect

632
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: direct deposit.

633
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: Direct deposit is.

634
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: A direct indicator that you are somewhat of value. Jared

635
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: Goff is currently on a one hundred and thirty four

636
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: million dollar extension. Where I come from, that means he

637
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: is appreciated. And by the time he's done with this

638
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: current contract, he will have cashed checks just on the

639
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: field earnings for four hundred million in career earnings. For

640
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. That is appreciation with a capital A is

641
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: what that is. And the the money is the love letter.

642
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: That's the love letter.

643
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: And fans some I don't.

644
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: I think most people in Detroit to pretty level headed,

645
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: but there's some fans in Detroit that may throw roses

646
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: at him.

647
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: Right, the league doesn't get it right.

648
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: I would argue that the league does. They've got this one right.

649
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: They view him correctly. He's good, not great. He's the

650
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: middle of the road quarterback. You can win with the

651
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: middle of the road quarterback. Rams got to a Super

652
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Bowl with jaredy Goff, and if everything goes right in

653
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, you can win. But he's not gonna

654
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: make players around him better, right, and honestly, listen, that

655
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: is not bad for a guy everyone thought was absolutely finished.

656
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: They thought he would never start when he played for

657
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher, meaning that he was so bad it's like horrible.

658
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: And then with McVeigh, McVeigh was fed up with him

659
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: and shipped him out like an old couch when you're

660
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: moving out of college.

661
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: And you don't need your soulf anymore and just getting

662
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 3: rid of it.

666
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets grilled.

667
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 8: Kolo Dean Sanders called out the j Aguars on a

668
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 8: podcast this week, saying that they underutilize Travis Hunter. He

669
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 8: said that Hunter needs more reps to be effective, but

670
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 8: are they not using Hunter enough?

671
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Well, generally, the way it works is you have to

672
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: show the wow factor. I have not seen it. It's

673
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: very exciting the idea of Travis Hunter in the NFL,

674
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: but if he's going to be a middling defensive back

675
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: and nothing really electrifying on offense, it doesn't excite you.

676
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing eye popping. So if you play well, you're

677
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: going to get more opportunities. I disagree, and Dion's going

678
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: to defend his guy.

679
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 3: I get it. I understand why Dan said it. I

680
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: don't agree with them.

681
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 8: Next, so the Cleveland Guardians have made history with the

682
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 8: largest September deficit overcome to tire or take the lead

683
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 8: in a division or league. The Guardians were eleven games

684
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 8: back and they took the division lead on Tuesday. They

685
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 8: still have it right now, Ben, are the Guardians legit contenders?

686
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: Well, they're obviously contenders going they're in the playoffs. They're

687
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs. But in terms of

688
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: are they a real threat to win everything? I don't

689
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: consider them a real threat. But it's been amazing. We're

690
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: going to talk about this coming up next hour because

691
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: it's really more about the Tigers and the Guardians. But

692
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: the Guardians are They're They're a pesky team. Those teams

693
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: do cost some problems, but they're not a real contender.

694
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 8: Next, it was supporter of this week that Anthony Edwards

695
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 8: has been watching tape of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant

696
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 8: to help develop his post up game. Ben, do you

697
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 8: think Edwards will finally realize his potential and become the

698
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 8: face of the league.

699
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: Well, Coop, you know I listened to Rush Limba and

700
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: Howard Stern tapes. Look at me now, I'm just as

701
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: good as them, so clearly. And Paul Harvey, good day,

702
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: Come on listen. I like Edwards, I like his Rasthmatazzy.

703
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm not buying it. How do we do? How do

704
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: we do?

705

Speaker 1: We go?

707
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,280

Speaker 3: Hi, Blind Scott.

720
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 8: For some reason, Blind Scott would like to know if

721
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 8: we can do a meetup in Baltimore.

722
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 3: Why would why? Well, I don't understand what I mean.

723
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to actually at some point get to Baltimore

724
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: because my guy sports with Coleman, who I have known,

725
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: he's a radio friend. But I've never actually been to Baltimore.

726
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: I was close, and I had I was at a

727
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: fork on the road and I was like, I was

728
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: in Gettysburg and Baltimore is not that far away from Gettysburg.

729
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: But I didn't end up going, so I know I'm

730
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: not going anytime soon. Though, Well does he why does

Speaker 9: I don't know.

733
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 8: But now that I've been to Wrigley and Fenway, uh,

734
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 8: Camden Yard is actually the number one on my list

735
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 8: right now.

00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,120

Speaker 9: I'm down to go anywhere and everywhere.

00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: Do you know where Baltimore is?

742
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,000

Speaker 3: Well?

753
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: I never spent that much, but I did go out

754
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: with some baseball players who spent a couple thousand dollars.

755
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: But I was along for the ride. It wasn't my money.

756
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: It was only my money.

757
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe one hundred bucks or something like that,

758
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: the most when I was younger.

759
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, Loraina, what about you? Most money you ever

760

00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 8: So it was probably like somewhere like in the range

766
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 8: of like two fifty to two sixty.

767
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 9: And that was not even I didn't even mean to

768
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 9: do it. But was it worth it?

769
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 8: It was my It was my bachelor party and somebody

770
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,320

00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 8: and I had two hundred and sixty cash in my

775
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 8: pocket when I went in there, and I didn't have

776
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 8: it when I left there.

777
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: So, oh cool, it was that good?

778
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 9: Huh No, I don't think so.

779
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: I just I don't remember.

780
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 9: I'm pretty sure they just took it out of my pocket.

781
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Now. Years ago, there was a stripper from Houston that

782
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: used to call the show and pick NFL games when

783
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: I first started here, and she told me that the

784
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: whole key to being a stripper.

785
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: Is the upcharge. That you you have the basic rate,

786
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 3: but then you up charge, you got the add on.

787
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: It's just kind of like buying a car. Yeah, of course, right,

788
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: you want a tinted windows, and that's exact you want

789
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: those times? You want those rims on the tire?

790
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 9: Do you want the top down? Anyway?

791
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 8: Moving on, Yes, moving on. Let's see ferg dogs and

793
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 8: Some of them are not from Fergut. Do you have

794
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,600

797
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's my favorite blanket. If the blanket

798
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: went into the Twilight Zone and left today. I'd be okay,

799
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: I'd get another blanket, but I do like the blanket.

800
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: I'm a blanket guy.

Speaker 1: I always need the room cold, I need a blanket

802
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: on top of me, or I don't sleep well.

803
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: So I have a good blanket. But I'm not.

00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm not.

805
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,640
