You know that was 53 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: That was one of those If I didn't do this 54 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: for a living, I had the Oklahoma Arizona game on MyPad, 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: I probably would have turned the Thursday night game off. 56 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: It was clear of the Browns were the far superior team. 57 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: Joe Flack almost threw for three hundred yards in the 58 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: first half and they curb stomped him, they ended him. 59 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: And the more I thought about, like what did I 60 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: want to really talk about Obviously we're gonna talk about Flacco, 61 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, the Jets and Rogers, But like, isn't we 62 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: harp on this so much on this show because we 63 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: talked at nauseum about premium coaches paying for coaching staffs, 64 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: paying for the best coordinators. And you watch tonight Kevin Stefanski, 65 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: who's now going to the playoffs for the second time 66 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: as the Cleveland Browns head coach. I don't know about you, 67 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: but there are a couple franchises in my lifetime that 68 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't equate the playoffs with. That's the Lions, the Browns, 69 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders. So when you start going to the playoffs 70 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: with those franchises, I'm sorry, you're really good. Here's the 71 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: other thing about Stefanski. Stefanski's not like one of those 72 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: CEO head coaches. You know, he calls the plays. So 73 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: I never understood this one. Robert solidd it even when 74 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: Brian Daball did it last year. I know he won 75 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year. Like when I hire a 76 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: younger coach, it's one thing. If I hire an old guy. 77 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: Belichick gets fired and I'm the Commanders, I want to 78 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: hire him. Okay, whatever do what you do, Belichick, But 79 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: when I'm hiring a guy like under fifty, kind of 80 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: want them to call a side of the ball. Now. 81 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: I understand you feel comfortable with coordinators, but like Robert 82 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: Sali as a CEO head coach, his defense, who I'm 83 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: told all the time is really good, fucking blows. His 84 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: offense for the majority of the season has been one 85 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: of the all time embarrassments for like the second year 86 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: in a row. And I watched the FANSKI last year 87 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: and it's not all his fault. Part of it was 88 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: the front office. They tried to go, you know, with 89 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: this smaller defense that was going to be able to 90 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: handle the pass. Well. They were like the worst rush 91 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: defense in the league. Their defense as a whole became 92 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: awful as the season went on. What did he do? 93 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: He knew defensive coordinator, So who do you hire? I 94 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: don't know. A guy that just helped the Eagles win 95 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl a couple years ago and is widely 96 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: considered one of the better defensive coordinators in the NFL 97 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: in Jim Schwartz, And now he can handle the offense 98 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: because his quarterback situation has been crazy this year. Right, 99 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: they got two hundred thirty million dollars going to a 100 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: guy who's played like fifteen games for him, who, let's 101 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: be real, has had one good half of football for 102 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. He beat the forty nine Ers with PJ. 103 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: Walker starting at quarterback, and now has Joe Flacco playing 104 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: some of the best football he's played in a decade. 105 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco was signed. I had to google it. November twentieth, 106 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns practice squad. It's what's the day today? 107 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: The December twenty eighth, so we're talking like forty days. 108 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: The dude was on his couch, maybe working out on 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: the side, taking his kids to school, and now he's 110 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: turning Joe Flacco into a guy that it's pretty crazy. 111 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: I had to look it up. He made one hundred 112 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars in his career. Joe Flacco 113 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: made a hundred and seventy five million dollars and beside 114 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: a couple of years before he got paid in Baltimore, 115 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: his career I would say was pretty underwhelming. Easy got 116 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: to like easy guy to respect. I mean, the dude 117 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: went to war with the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know, in 118 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: one of the great rivalries every day in practice, he's 119 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: going to war with ray Lewis, ed Reed, Helod Nada, 120 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs. Like no one ever questioned Flaco's like toughness. 121 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: It's like, is he any good? It's kind of like 122 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the Eli Man, But yeah, I know you got hot 123 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: for a couple playoffs, but are you actually good? And 124 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: you watch them so far with the Cleveland Browns, it's like, God, 125 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: maybe he's just letting it loose. For any of you 126 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: that play golf, sometimes you're like, you know what, I'm 127 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: not thinking about anything. I'm just gonna play see where 128 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: it goes. And all of a sudden, you get a 129 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: couple of birdies, you break eighty, You're like, holy shit, 130 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: maybe I need to stop thinking about everything and just play. 131 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: That's how Flaco kind of feels, just kind of letting 132 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: it loose, playing free, nothing to lose. But tonight was 133 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: just a clinic on superior coaches taking out other coaches. 134 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: You'd be like, well, middlecoff. They lost Aaron Rodgers four 135 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: plays in, and listen, I picked the Jets to win 136 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: the division. They would not have won the division if 137 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers have been healthy all season long. I don't 138 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: even know if they would have been a playoff lock. 139 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: But like, here's the thing, the Browns are well run. 140 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: I can't say that about the Jets. I can't feel 141 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: confident in the Jets coaching staff moving forward. You know, 142 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: Hackett surely's gonna come back because of Rogers. We know 143 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: Saul is I root for Solo and is Die Beard, 144 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: which again I find a little weird. You know, you're 145 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: like forty three years old, you got seven kids, Your 146 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: team's you know, well under five hundred. You're not going 147 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You would think like I saw Aaron Rodgers, 148 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: he ain't dyeing his beard. It's like, you're not single. 149 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: You know, this isn't college recruiting. I just people think 150 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm making too big a deal of this. To me, 151 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: a kind of reflects it. Warrior priorities. Listen, we all 152 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: do things to look have some vanity to us. I 153 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: totally understand. I'm not saying just let it go. Maybe 154 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: it's completely white, but I didn't think it's a little weird, 155 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: and it's it's listen, he was winning, wouldn't think anything 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: of it. But this is a results oriented business. Hit 157 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: see hem always loses Stefanski. Same thing. Stefanski's literally playing 158 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: with a quarterback that Salah had last year and who 159 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: didn't look good for him. It was awful. Then Stefanski 160 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: gets him, fuck, looks fantastic, playing the best football you know, 161 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: as good as he's played. It's like the Super Bowl run. 162 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: So I just I don't know what to make of 163 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: the Jets. Here's what I do now. I will not 164 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: be fooled next year. I will not I I'm definitely 165 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna pick him to make the playoffs. Now, 166 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: we got a long way to go free agency, the draft, 167 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: but like, how can you feel confident that the group 168 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: that coaching staff with a forty year old Aaron Rodgers 169 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: forty years old, who, let's face it, who listen? I 170 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: we got into the Russell Wilson thing, the gap between 171 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: them even when they were kind of up and down 172 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: mile wide, they have nothing in common. But in those 173 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: couple of plays this year, at thirty nine years old, 174 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: he did look a little slower. He wasn't as quick, 175 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: which is understandable. Obviously had a bad year in twenty 176 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: twenty two for his standards, and now coming off the Achilles, 177 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: their offensive line is not good. Well guess what it's like, Well, 178 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: just improve the offensive line. Not easy to do. One 179 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, average ones in free agency, very very expensive, 180 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: and drafting guys like you got a draft guys pretty 181 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: high and it's just difficult, right, especially tackles, which clearly 182 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: is a major major question mark. We've seen Joe Douglas 183 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: draft to tackle before. He's not that good. So their 184 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: division Buffalo in Miami, even if Belichick's fired, New England 185 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: blows it up and starts over, okay whatever, Like the 186 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: Jets have a better record than them. That how are 187 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: they going to be better than Buffalo and Miami? Well, newsflash, 188 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: they can't. They won't be. You know, I just I 189 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: was fooled this year. I bought into the kool aid. 190 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a Hard Knocks whatever, I don't know, 191 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: but I don't have faith. Like last year with the 192 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks with the Lions, I bought into that too. 193 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: But as the season went on, like they ended up 194 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: going nine to eight, and then they came back this 195 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: year drastically improved in the draft because they had a 196 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: high pick. They flipped that into the running back and 197 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: the tight end and they have a fantastic coaching staff. 198 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, their offensive coordinator is one of the best 199 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL, like you watch the Browns. Like I 200 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: just said, listen, I don't know if Stefanski where he ranks, 201 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of offensive coordinators, but I think 202 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: it's pretty well established he's good. He's good at his job. 203 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: We know Jim Schwartz is good at his job. And 204 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: then you look at the Jets and you go, who's 205 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: good at their job? Right, Nathaniel Hackett. I think we'd 206 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: all agree, not really. Well, Sala doesn't even call the 207 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: defensive plays. Jeff Olbrich does. Are those guys good because 208 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: they have talent over there. But yet when I watched 209 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: the Jets, I go, that's not a good defense. So 210 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say they're good at their job. 211 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: And listen, Joe Douglas, I was thinking about this today 212 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: because you know, a huge part of this Russell Wilson 213 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: conversation is the trade and those picks and what they 214 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: got back for Seattle. Well, Seattle I had forgotten right Obviously, 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: acquiring Jamal Adams, they gave up multiple first round picks 216 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: to the Jets. Yet when you watch the Jets you 217 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: don't just see like elite players everywhere. And part of 218 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: the reason is, you know, they missed on a couple 219 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: of picks, and clearly the quarterback situation was a massive whiff. 220 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Now that wasn't because of that trade necessarily indirectly, I 221 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: guess it kind of was. Even though Jamal Adams, they 222 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: weren't winning or losing games because of him. But you 223 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, So listen, I know a lot 224 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: of people in the NFL that have worked with Joe 225 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: Douglas with the Eagles and the Ravens, and they all 226 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: like him. Like I think he's a very easy guy 227 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: to like, but like to think that I feel confident 228 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: that he knows what he's doing. I just can't say that. 229 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: I can't feel confident on that. So I don't feel 230 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: confident in your coaching staff, don't feel great about the 231 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: GM and just his track record and then the organization. 232 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: And this is why, listen, I'm going to vote. If 233 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: I had one, I don't, I would vote for Dan Campbell. 234 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: And we'll get into them him playing the Cowboys here 235 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: in a second. Just because anytime you elevate a disastrous anything, 236 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: it could be a company, it could be a football team. 237 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: It could be a family, and you raise the level 238 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: like that's hard to do, that's really hard to do. 239 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: The status quo is easy. If they fired Mike Tomlin 240 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: and whoever goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, I'd expect them 241 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: to be successful. Why because everyone is successful there. Matt Lafleur, right, 242 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: even though he's not gonna win the Super Bowl this year, 243 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: he'll probably end up going eight to nine, nine and eight, 244 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: and then next year be like, he's not gonna suck. 245 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: No one sucks at Green Bay. That's just not gonna happen. 246 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: But if you go to the Lions and you win, 247 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: I give you extra credit. Same thing with Stefanski. Now, 248 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: the thing is Stefanski proved that a couple of years 249 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: ago he could do it. Now he's just kind of 250 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: sustaining it. Now. We've talked about this before. It's gonna 251 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: get harder with Deshaun Watson's cap hit next year, you know, 252 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: goes from I think I forget the number exactly, like 253 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: nineteen million to sixty three million, huge gap, forty three 254 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: plus million dollars in disappearing cap space. So their team's 255 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: not gonna be as deep. But man, it's been a 256 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: fantastic coaching staff season for the Cleveland Browns, and the 257 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco story. Let's face it is just fun. It's 258 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: just fun. Now, Someone DM me, like, do you think 259 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: it's crazy at thirty five to one to take put 260 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: a little flyer on them to win the Super Bowl? 261 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: And listen, like you see how good that their talent is, 262 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: how talented their defense is. If Flacco just play solid, 263 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: like they can play with anybody, they beat the forty 264 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: nine ers with PJ. Walker. The problem with that bet, 265 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: in my opinion, if the Ravens win that division, they'd 266 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: have to go on the road three times just to 267 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl. And you know, even if 268 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: they're the five seed, they'll probably play Jacksonville. Okay, let's 269 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: give him a win there. Once we get to the 270 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: second round, you're talking at Baltimore or at Buffalo, you know, 271 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: at Kansas City, and then if you beat that team, 272 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: you then have to go to at Buffalo or at Baltimore. 273 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: So it would just it would be one of the 274 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: craziest runs we've ever seen. It really would. I'm pretty 275 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: sure when Nick Foles, because there was a lot of 276 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: comparison with that with Al Michaels, you know night they 277 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: were throwing that out there. It was I saw it 278 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: on the on the X as my mother calls it, 279 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: the X Channel. Pretty sure. The Eagles had a first 280 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: round by so they only had to play two games. Listen, 281 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: this in football, it's like the NCAA tournament. One loss, 282 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: you're done. So I don't think they could win the 283 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but I definitely wouldn't want to fuck play them, 284 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. I don't want no part 285 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: of them, right. I expect them to win a playoff 286 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: game and nothing will shock me. I don't think they 287 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, but if you told me they 288 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: won two playoff games, could see that, especially if their 289 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: matchups were Jacksonville, then Miami could definitely. They're pretty matchup dependent. 290 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Though they go to Totoe with Baltimore, they could definitely 291 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: beat the KANCA Chiefs. Would I picked them on the road. 292 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. But what a story the 293 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: Jay Year Alexander situation, which I had about four people 294 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL four would be that over the last 295 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. I saw it on Sunday afternoon before 296 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: I went to a Christmas Eve dinner, and I don't 297 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: know if I wasn't super locked in. Maybe it was 298 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: the holidays, the presidents, I don't know. I didn't think 299 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: that much of it. And then obviously the moment, Gudakins 300 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: and the Packers come out with the suspension. And for 301 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: those of you that don't know, Packers corner, highly paid 302 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: guy who's been out of the lineup with injuries, went 303 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: out with the team captains against Carolina. He was not 304 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: a team captain, and he called heads and tails. Right, 305 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: he's not a team captain. He walked out with the 306 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: team captains. Who I guess the Packers picked three new 307 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: captains every single week. And then he called the coin flip, 308 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: and he not only called the coin flip, he then 309 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: did it incorrectly because you have to say we accept that, 310 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, we want the ball, we defer to the 311 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: second half. He said defense, which means we want to 312 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: go on defense, but would not even give you the 313 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: ball in the second half. Luckily, the referee kind of 314 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: corrected them and bailed them out in the situation. And 315 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: he kind of sarcastically made fun of it after the game, 316 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: and then he was suspended for conduct detrimental of the team. 317 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking about a situation when I was in radio, 318 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: because I have had a situation where I have been 319 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: a malcontent and not listen to authority. When I first 320 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: got hired in radio, we had a boss who had 321 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: worked at ESPN forever, who had worked with Colin and 322 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: most notably like the Mike and Mike Show, had been 323 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: their producer, had a lot of success, and he really 324 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: tapped me the ropes and he gave me cart bloch 325 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: to say whatever I wanted. He helped me whenever I 326 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: would like get in, you know, battles with the Raiders 327 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: about thing I said. He always had my back and 328 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: it was just it was fun to work for it 329 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: was it was a cool situation. Then he left to 330 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: run his own thing and we got a new Boston 331 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: and very quickly I didn't respect the guy at all. 332 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: And listen say, I bear some responsibility here, but I 333 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: couldn't take anything he said seriously. So I just kind 334 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: of stopped listening to anything he said. And one big 335 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: thing before I ultimately got fired because the Raiders wanted 336 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: me out and he didn't get my back. Of course, 337 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: because like me, I don't blame him, though I couldn't. 338 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you, this is the dumbest individual 339 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: I've ever been around. I can't even describe to you. 340 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: It's impossible in words. Yeah, and it takes me an hour. 341 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: But he used to want us to all study in 342 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: this area called the bullpen. I refused. I just studied 343 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: in a different office, and it would make him so 344 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: mad and so mad, but he wasn't that confrontational, so 345 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: he just like removed the desk and the chairs and 346 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: everything in the office to be able to, you know, 347 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: prepare for the show. So eventually I would go into 348 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: the office, there'd be nothing there, so you couldn't even 349 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: prayer if you wanted to. So I was kind of 350 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks I was forced to be 351 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: in the bullpen. But it was just a classic like 352 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: double middle fingers f you moved for me to authority, 353 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm not working for this guy. I have no 354 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: real I can't listen to a word he says, I 355 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: have zero respect. I have less respect now, you know whatever, 356 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: eight years later, but at the time, I couldn't even 357 00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: It was hard for me even to look at the 358 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: guy and listen. When you have that, it's it's easy 359 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: to just kind of go rogue and do your own shit. 360 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: And I do think there's a level of him doing 361 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: this is kind of a major fu to everyone that 362 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: runs the Packers, the general manager and most importantly the 363 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: coaching staff, because that's like, listen, I would say, the 364 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: captains in football pretty sacred thing, right, whether you're named 365 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: a captain at the beginning of the season, whether they 366 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: send you out for the coin toss, like, that's a 367 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: pretty big deal. This is not like one of those 368 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: things that sometimes like random guys just go out on 369 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: their own, like it's I would say, and I'm thirty 370 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: nine years old, been watching football a long time. The 371 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: guys that go out for the coin toss know they're 372 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: supposed to go out for the coin toss, and everyone 373 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: on the team knows exactly who's going out for the 374 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: coin toss. So for him to do that and then say, 375 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: like be the voice in the group is one of 376 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: the greatest middle fingers I've ever seen to a head coach. Now, 377 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: I think the reason when the Packers suspend the guy 378 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: they use the general manager because there's a good cut, 379 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: bad cup, right if Lafloor suspends them, there kind of 380 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: gets the situation of we might keep this player because 381 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: he's pretty good and he's under contract. Then they hate 382 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: each other. I think it's already too far gone. And 383 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: this situation, I know Lafloor, I always love when coaches 384 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: do this. It's one thing of Belichick or Andy or Pete, 385 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: a guy with a lot of pelts on the wall, 386 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: Like I'm not talking about that. It's like, Matt, I'm sorry, 387 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: none of the other questions matter, Like no one gives 388 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: a shit about what you think of the Vikings offense. 389 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: Why did this situation happen? Why did he get suspended? 390 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: And he just kept saying over and over about Minnesota, 391 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: about Minnesota's like, Matt, this is the fucking big leagues. 392 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: No one gives a shit about Minnesota. We just are 393 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: interested in this situation, like how did this happen? And 394 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: I do think it's a reflection of like I don't 395 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: think you can bring this player back, Like if Matt 396 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: Laford's gonna go on to be successful, I think these 397 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: type situations are Maybe it's maybe it's his move to 398 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: try to get the defensive coordinator fired. I don't know, 399 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: but this it's pretty embarrassing and the more I thought 400 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: about it, the more I saw different players reactions like, 401 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: let's face it, this is pretty crazy, like things that 402 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: are not crazy in the NFL. A guy get a 403 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: DUI on Friday, play on Sunday. Right, situation we saw 404 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: with von Miller came out today that said, listen, none 405 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: of that stuff's true. What happened. You know, he got 406 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: arrested for domestic issues. You know he claims not true. 407 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it's true. He's got a baby 408 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: on the way with her. Who knows, he said, I 409 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: don't know, but he played immediately. That's normal protocol in 410 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. This you know, this type stuff, never seen 411 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: it before. And listen, when you don't respect authority, like, 412 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: it's not healthy for that person to be in the building. 413 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't healthy for me to be in that building 414 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: because I wasn't gonna listen to anybody because I didn't 415 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: respect any of them. I didn't think any of them 416 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: knew what the fuck they were doing. Turns out, all 417 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: these years later, they don't, and I'm very I'm very 418 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: happy the way everything's played out, which I've knew in 419 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: my gut probably would right. I needed to remove myself 420 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: from the situation, and they happened to remove me from 421 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: the situation. But I'm glad they did because there are 422 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of clowns. Now. I don't know if Lafora 423 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: and Gouda Kins are like clowns or anything, but I 424 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: do believe, based on his actions, that that's how Alexander 425 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: views those guys. Because if you respect someone at the 426 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: highest level of any industry, especially when they're above you 427 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: and they're your superior, you listen to what they say 428 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: like you do what you're supposed to do, even when 429 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: you don't always agree with it. Why because you respect it. 430 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: When I worked in football with Pat Hill or with 431 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles with Howie and the coaching staff with the 432 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: Eagles and Andy Listen, I didn't agree with everything I 433 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: was told to do, but I did it no the volume, 434 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: Like if anyone Colin hits me up, like, I fucking 435 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: do it right. But when you don't respect, it's impossible 436 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: to have a functional work environment. That's bad luck. Okay, 437 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about my friends at Morgan and Morgan. Do 438 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: you know that getting in an accident is hard, Hiring 439 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan is easy.

I think he would 457 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: validate my stance if he beats the Cowboys this weekend 458 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Though I don't think this must win for Detroit, 459 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: right They've already had an extremely successful season, won the division. 460 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: They're gonna win at minimum, I think eleven games. They 461 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: win this game, they're gonna win twelve. Fantastic season. The 462 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys need to win this fucking game. I don't think 463 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: there's any way around it. I was wrong. I picked 464 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,719 Speaker 1: him to win the division at the beginning of the season. 465 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: There was hope a couple of weeks ago, and then 466 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: they got curb stomped by Buffalo. But then against Miami, 467 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: they have what are the better drives given the circumstances 468 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: I can remember, I thought, God, this is kind of 469 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: a season defining moment for dak leads them on this 470 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: game winning drive. They're gonna They're gonna beat Miami. It's 471 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: a good win. This is Miami's been good. Beat Mike McDaniel, 472 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: beat Vic Fangio. This is a nice win. This is 473 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: a really, really nice win. Then their defense gives it up. 474 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: Miami goes right down the field, Boom wins the game, 475 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: and I don't have as much faith in Dallas and listen, 476 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: I want to take them seriously go into the playoffs. 477 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: But you can't lose all these games, especially to Miami 478 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: and Detroit, and have anyone take you seriously going in 479 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: to January. Listen, most people are gonna pick them in 480 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: that four or five matchup, regardless who they play, which 481 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: that won't change my opinion, but I will not have 482 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: not only any confidence, how could you have any faith 483 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: the Dallas is gonna beat a real team If they 484 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: can't beat the Lions, who are a playoff team at home, 485 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: coming off two straight losses and desperate just get some 486 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: positive mojo going before the season ends. It's almost like 487 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones just cursed them. He said a couple of 488 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: weeks ago after they got their ass kicked by Buffalo, 489 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: the best thing that's happened to this team this season 490 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: had been the coaching staff, and then two straight weeks 491 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: they just have bad losses the playoff teams. And this 492 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: is a game where every time we just universally kind 493 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: of praise Mike McCarthy, he's like, you know who's doing 494 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: a pretty good job is here? You know who's got 495 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: this team? Were on Mike freaking McCarthy calling plays, Dan 496 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: Quinn backwards hat calling defense like coaching staff man the Cowboys, 497 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: And then you watch them against the Bills, and then 498 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: you watch that fourth quarter against Miami you're like, why 499 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: do we do this to ourselves. I'm fascinated to see 500 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: Saturday if they bounce back. I'm not confident. I wouldn't 501 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: put any money on this game, but I think this 502 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: is borderline must win for Dallas if they want to 503 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: do anything going into the playoffs. One story, like I 504 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: just think so stupid now, Like it's so pointless when 505 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: we do the ratings game with the NFL, Like the 506 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: NFL stole Christmas from the NBA. Well, yeah, no shit, 507 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: the NFL is infinitely bigger, Like comparing the two is pointless. 508 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: It's like comparing McDonald's and just some hole in the 509 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: wall burger joint. Like this is no longer a fair fight. 510 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: So if the NFL is gonna put games on a 511 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: given day, whoever else is on that given day is done. 512 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: They do not stand a chance, whether it's the World Series, 513 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: whether it's Christmas. In the NBA, TNT forever had Thursday 514 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: Night basketball, Well guess what they started doing. Changed it 515 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: during the fall because it wasn't worth getting obliterated by 516 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: Thursday Night football. The NFL is so far ahead of 517 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: everyone right now, it's not even funny. Everyone else is 518 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: just the difference between Golf, MMA, NBA, Major League Baseball. 519 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: They're all kind of swimming in the same lane. A 520 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: couple million here, seven hundred thousand here, depending on the event. 521 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: The NFL is in a different stratosphere. So when I 522 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: see all these people arguing on social media of like, what, 523 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: of course the NFL killed them. They've been killing everyone forever. 524 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: They're the number one television show in America for a 525 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: long long time running now, and that is not gonna 526 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: change anytime soon. I've said it forever. I have no 527 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: clue how long the NFL stays on top for, you know, personally, 528 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: as someone that does this for a living and just 529 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: enjoys watching football, I hope it lasts for a while. 530 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm not naive enough to ask, like act like it's 531 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna be indefinite. But for the foreseeable future, they're gonna 532 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: run circles around everyone. They have what these other sports can't, 533 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, replicate urgency, lack of inventory, the gambling aspect. 534 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: We gamble on football, we don't gamble on these other sports. 535 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: Newslash right, fantasy football. It's so many more women now 536 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: watch the sport. It is just it's in a different stratosphere. 537 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: So when people are constantly arguing like, of course they 538 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: stole Christmas. Now are they next year? When Christmas? I 539 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: don't know if it's on Tuesday or Wednesday, it's not 540 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: on an NFL day, would they still put games there? 541 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: My guy Ethan Sherwood Strauss wrote an article today. One 542 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: thing that has inflated television numbers, which actually hasn't helped 543 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: these other sports but has helped football, is out of 544 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: home viewing. So like on Thanksgiving, for example, when forty 545 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 1: plus million people watch the Cowboy game Cowboy who they 546 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: play the Commanders, seventeen million of those forty one million 547 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: were out of home viewers. It'd be the equivalent of 548 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: like my brother, my mom, and all those people at 549 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: my house watching the game. So they started counting people 550 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: they weren't necessarily at home, but we're still watching the 551 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: game other places, especially at bars, restaurants, all those things, 552 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: and that has really helped the NFL, and the NFL 553 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: knows that, so now on holidays they know they'll get 554 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: a huge boost all these sports bread is buttered, but 555 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: mainly especially football, basketball. I know golf. Baseball is a 556 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: little different because they got eighty one home games, So 557 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: attendance does matter. But these huge event days right like Thanksgiving, 558 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, Christmas, when everyone is going to have the 559 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: TV on, the NFL is going to keep doing business there. 560 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: They can say they're not going to move the schedule around. Bullshit, 561 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: not after seeing those type numbers and not after seeing 562 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: what it means to their television partners. Because the NFL 563 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: is in business with CBS, Fox, NBC. You know who 564 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: likes having inventory on those games that are going to 565 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: get twenty five to thirty five million people watching their 566 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: partners And guess what they're partners do pay them one 567 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: hundred and eleven billion dollars for a decade. So I 568 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: don't care what day Christmas is on. Moving forward, I 569 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: would expect the NFL. I don't know if it's always 570 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna be three. Maybe it'll just be one if it's 571 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: on a weird day, but they're gonna have a game 572 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: or two. I'll promise you that. Because when you're on top, 573 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: one thing you continue to do is keep the pedal 574 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: to the medal, keep the gas pedal down, and keep 575 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: doubling down, because that's how you continue to separate. And 576 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: that's just how these successful people operate in life. I 577 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: want an end on this, my Guinness Bold Take of 578 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: the Week. And I've been thinking about this for a while. 579 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: And I don't know the exact amount of money I'm 580 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: gonna do. I you know, I was like, did I 581 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: go ten thousand dollars? Like that'd be a pretty big hit. 582 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: You know, I got I still got this remodel, still 583 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: got some things to finish. I'm tempted, but I think 584 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: at minimum I'm gonna go two. I might go five. 585 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a lot of money on the Washington 586 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: Huskies to win. And I just read an article by 587 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Pat Forty about Kaylin Duboor and it actually resonated with 588 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: me because Kaylin Dubor's facing Steve Sarkisian, a guy that 589 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: I haven't believed in really ever. And I listen, he's 590 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: had a hell of a season. His team's good. I'm 591 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: not going to dispute him this season. It's the best 592 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: season he's ever coached. Kayln Dubor has been winning now 593 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: for almost two decades. Everywhere he's went. I screwed it 594 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: up before. I said it's Sikawa Falls, It's Sue Falls, 595 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: where he was an NAIA coach, and at one point 596 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: in time he won fifty six out of fifty seven games. 597 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: His offensive coordinator, coach Grubb, who Nick Saban tried to 598 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: hire this offseason, turned him down and they talked about 599 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: during that period of time where they would eat pregame 600 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: meals in a park with sandwiches out of a cooler. 601 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian was the quarterback coach at USC at twenty 602 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: seven years old. This guy in his late twenties and 603 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: early thirties, is it Sue Falls coaching NAI football. All 604 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: this guy's ever done is win. All this guy's ever 605 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: done is win. He won there. He was the offensive 606 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: coordinator for the winningest season in Indiana football in three decades. 607 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: He went to Fresno State. In his one full season, 608 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: he went nine to three. Obviously, at Washington, he's won 609 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: twenty straight games. So I just believe in this guy 610 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: and he resonates with me. He's a small school guy, 611 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: sarks a big school, glamorous USC. You know Alabama, just 612 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: bright lights Texas. This guy cut his teeth when no 613 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: one was paying attention and listen as a guy that 614 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: was a small school football cal Pauly Fresno State that 615 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: resonates with me, and those are type guys I root for, 616 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: and I find this guy not only easy to root for. 617 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: I think he's a star. I think he's a shooting star, 618 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: and I think there's a chance in five years, ten years, 619 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: we view this guy as a top two or three 620 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: coach in the country. And I think it's starts on 621 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: Monday when he takes out Texas and he wins a 622 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: playoff game. Now, I'm not going as far as I 623 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: think he's gonna win the national championship, but I think 624 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: he beats Texas. So my bull take of the week, 625 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm going Washington as an underdog outright to beat the 626 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: Texas Longhorns.
