21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 5: to talk about playoff football that has already taken place.

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 5: All right now, I want to be on the record

23
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 5: with something, and I want to be honest about something.

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 5: Years ago, we would have this in elementary school. I

25
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 5: still remember this. You would have to rent a book

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: each day, and so you rent a book and you

27
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: that was part of your SSR silence sustained reading or

28
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: whatever the hell they called it back then. Who knows,

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 5: that's probably an offensive term now, I don't know who cares.

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: Point is, you'd have to rent these books. You can

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: go pick whatever book you wanted, and usually I would

32
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 5: pick some sort of sports book, or I would pick

33
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 5: some sort of conspiracy theory book, lockness, monster, UFOs, abominable

34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 5: snowman like Bigfoot, like oh, I mean anything you could

35
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 5: possibly I would, and I would because I just it

36
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: wasn't like I believed it. I just love the idea

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: that there was an alternate way to think about things

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: and just going and you know, it did send me

39
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: down a path, you know, just question everything, and so

40
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 5: by nature and whether that's when it started, I just

41
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: sort of question everything. If you tell me something, it's like, okay, sure,

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 5: I'd like to do my own investigating, and I'd like,

43
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 5: you know, just don't sell me something, let me look

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 5: into it a little bit. And I'm watching Indiana last night,

45
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 5: and I say all that to say this, and they

46
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: are so good and so dominant that I'm watching them

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 5: going it's got to be fake. It's gotta be ai.

48
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: There's no possible way that that program, who had been

49
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 5: so bad for so long is this dominant.

50
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: There's no way.

51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 5: And I know they're favored in these games now, and listen,

52
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: I get it. They were favored against Alabama. They put

53
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: Alabama in a clown suit. It looked like what Alabama

54
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 5: used to do to other teams. They bamaed Bama on

55
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: a big stage. But okay, all right, now you get

56
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: Oregon Part two. They've seen them before, a little revenge.

57
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: They've been down this road. Oregon looked pretty good, defense

58
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 5: looked pretty good against Texas Tech.

59
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: They shut them out. Here we go and they destroyon.

60
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: And I'm watching it going, yeah, like it's improbable, Like

61
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: there's no there's no way that this is actually what

62
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: I'm seeing here, what you're telling me. I gotta look

63
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: into it a little bit. I gotta go rent a

64
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: UFO book. I gotta go rent a conspiracy theory. I

65
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: gotta see whether or not Mendoza is real. This is

66
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: a real are we living in a simulation. They're so

67
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 5: good you don't believe what you're seeing. It's like when

68
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 5: somebody shows you a video now and you go, oh, yeah,

69
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 5: that's gotta be AI.

70
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: That's AI.

71
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 5: That's vague, and you find out no, no, no, that's actually

72
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 5: a real video.

73
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: It's completely changed the way you trust things. It's completely

75
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: changed the way you view things. Indiana's performance last night

76
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: and what they've done the past couple of games has

77
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: completely changed the way I look at them to where

78
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: my assumption was, oh, this has got to be bs.

79
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: There's no way. Like you hear Fanana Mendoza talk and

80
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 5: you go, wait, what It's kind of like t Bow.

81
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: But.

82
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: Way far past anything he did, because it's just it's

83
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 5: so genuine that there's no way it can be genuine.

84
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 5: Like I want to find out that for Nanda, Mendoza's

85
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: got like some you know, secret poker scheme going on

86
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: at school, Like I want to find out that, like

87
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: you know, he like he comes from like a family

88
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 5: of drug dealers, or he's on steroids, or he's betting

89
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: on these games, or he's like paying out money so

90
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: that these teams get annihilated by you know, thirty five

91
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: forty points, like I want to find all like, I

92
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: want all it because that would be more easy to digest,

93
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 5: It would be easier to understand what they're doing than

94
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: whatever's happening now because we don't see this. This doesn't exist.

95
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 5: It just doesn't happen like this. And then I find

96
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 5: myself looking at it, going, you know, maybe this is

97
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: just what the birth looks like of something. Maybe we

98
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 5: are at the embryotic stages of a dominant program.

99
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,119
Speaker 3: Again.

100
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: They've still got to win another game, and they've got

101
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: to go on a run and all that stuff. But

102
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: I'm watching them, going, so, what's the like there's gotta

103
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 5: be like, I mean, is it steroids?

104
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: Then I thought, man, what do I care? I've taken them,

105
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: who cares.

106
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: Then I'm think, well, maybe they're getting like illegal payments,

107
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 5: And then I realized, well, that's not illegal anymore. So No,

108
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 5: we're just watching the beginning stages of dominance, and it's

109
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 5: actually really cool to see. It's why I always tell

110
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: people part of what I love about the UFC is

111
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 5: the fact that we get to see an entire sport

112
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 5: from beginning, and we get to see it rise. I

113
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 5: can remember watching the first UFC, it's like fourteen bucks,

114
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: Like you could rent it on pay per view a

115
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 5: stormer it was fourteen dollars. And I remember watching it

116
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: with my brothers going, this is crazy, Like it's bare knuckle.

117
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: I mean, they're kicking each other in the face. You

118
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: could there were groin strikes, you could socker kick people

119
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 5: in the head. I'm like, there's this. And then to

120
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 5: see where it is all these years later, and you go, wow,

121
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: you got to see it from the embryotic stages all

122
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: the way to where it's at now, and they just

123
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 5: signed a multi billion dollar deal with Paramount, and it's

124
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 5: just really cool to watch that. And what we're seeing

125
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: with Indiana is kind of like that. From the standpoint

126
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: that normally we're told stories about when teams got great.

127
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: We were always told stories about the Packers, Oh man,

128
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: the Packers back in the day.

129
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: Oh boy.

130
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: We were always told stories about the eighty five Bears.

131
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: People will tell you about the Celtics back in the sixties.

132
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: They won eight titles in a row and all this time,

133
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: and they would tell you about all this dominance that

134
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 5: was going on, and very rarely do you get to

135
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 5: see stuff from the beginning, and while they've got a

136
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: ways to go to even win one title, let alone two, three, four, five,

137
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: we could be sitting here watching the beginning stages of

138
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 5: a dominant program for a long time. The way they play,

139
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: they don't make a lot of mistakes, they're efficient. Their

140
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 5: coach just sits there and chills just watching them.

141
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: They just just.

142
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: Relaxed, totally calm, totally cool, totally collected. Their quarterback says

143
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: everything right like it feels like he's a salesman.

144
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: He's not. And we're getting to watch it all in

145
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: real time. And so the.

146
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 5: Initial part of me, the skeptic in me, the kid

147
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 5: who used to sit there in the library and rent

148
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 5: all the UFO books because I wanted to find out, Hey,

149
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 5: who saw Bigfoot's footprint in the sand? Hey, what was

150
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 5: that flying saucer? They said, listen, tell me about lockness,

151
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: tell me about NeSSI tell me this. That kid then

152
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 5: goes back over to the kid who watched UFC with

153
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 5: his brothers and then thinks to himself, no, man, this

154
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 5: is really cool. Like you're watching the beginning of something,

155
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 5: and you're watching the beginning of what could be a

156
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 5: legitimate dynasty. And while it's so hard to believe because

157
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 5: they've been so bad for so long. It's kind of

158
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 5: awesome to watch what can happen when everything lines up perfectly.

159
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 5: Everything is lined up perfectly for Indiana, and they have

160
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: dominated dominated programs who have been at the top way

161
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: longer than them, and it's so improbable.

162
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 3: You just find yourself looking for explanations.

179
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: point you just got to look around and realize it

00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,520

198
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 5: we are going to tell you how uh, while somebody's

199
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 5: getting buried for their team's performance, I'd like to say

200
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 5: thank you me personally, I'd like to say thank you

201
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: from the heart. That'll be yours here coming up a

202
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: little over ten minutes from now here on Fox Sports Radio.

203
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: So there's been a report that's come out on what

204
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 5: went down in Baltimore when it comes.

205
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: To the John Harbaugh firing.

206
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 5: So Diana Rossini and Jeff Zuuribik of The Athletic did

207
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: a deep dive, actually a really good article on the

208
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 5: final days of John Harbaugh in Baltimore. And you know,

209
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 5: they go into all sorts of details and stuff like that.

210
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: But the one that's going to grab everybody's attention because

211
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: it paints owner Steve Bashatti in a bad light, is

212
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 5: this line from the article, which says, quote, Harbaugh was

213
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: fired by owner Steve Bashatti in a phone call while

214
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: the coach was driving from the team facility to his

215
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 5: Baltimore County home.

216
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 3: And it was neither a resignation nor a mutual parting.

217
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: He was relieved of his duties.

218
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 5: Now you're going to see that immediate reaction is Wow,

219
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: what a class act. Steve Bushatti. Wait to fire the

220
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: guy over the phone. He gave you eighteen years blah

221
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: blah blah blah blah. All fair, All right, understood all

222
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: of it.

223
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: Fair. Here's what else is fair. It was just time.

224
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: We can get caught up in the details of the exit,

225
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: and we can get caught up in how it was

226
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: handled and all that.

227
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: It was time and I got news for you.

228
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: If John Harbaugh felt a certain kind of way about

229
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 5: Steve Bushatti, then he wouldn't have spoken to him two

230
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: days later, so that Steve Bushati could explain the reasons

231
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 5: behind his decision.

232
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: Like on the outside, we can look at that.

233
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: And go, wow, you broke up via phone call, and

234
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 5: I understand you've been dating somebody for a long time.

235
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: A O M the courtesy to do this, But man,

236
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 5: it's just time. Go into the article and read it yourself.

237
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: If you don't want to do that, which probably don't,

238
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 5: let me just go ahead and fill in the blanks

239
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 5: for you. They couldn't really decide mixed opinions. Some players

240
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: were big fans of Harbaugh. Some players felt like it

241
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: was time they needed a new voice, some new direction.

242
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 5: Some players thought, you know, the dynamic between Todd Monkin

243
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: and John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson was a little bit awkward.

244
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: Others felt like, you know, maybe Lamar Jackson should have

245
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: more say in the direction of the organization. We're literally,

246
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: our hope and dreams are relying on him. Some people

247
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: are pointing out the fact that John Harbaugh was frustrated

248
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 5: with the Lamar Jackson's practice habits, and they were frustrated

249
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 5: with the fact that he was often injured. And we've

250
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: talked about it on this show. Listen, the guy misses,

251
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 5: you know, more Wednesday practices than anybody I've ever heard

252
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: of my life. There's always a flu. There's always like,

253
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: there's always something that comes up. There was a report,

254
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: but then others to say, no, man, his relationship with

255
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh was was fine.

256
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: They were great. John Harbor always defended him.

257
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 5: The point is, you've got so many different things going

258
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 5: in so many different directions. And if they even pointed

259
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: out in the article that the Ravens have a philosophy

260
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: that if you're not sure on a player when it

261
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 5: comes to drafting him, you take your time and get

262
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: more information. And so when John Harbaugh left the facility

263
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 5: on Monday Tuesday, the thought was he was going to

264
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 5: be back, but Steve Bashatti hadn't spoken to anybody. So

265
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: then Steve Bashati on Tuesday started calling around to some

266
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: of the veteran players and then Steve Bashatti called John

267
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: Harbon said, hey, man, upon further.

268
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 3: Review, we're gonna let you go.

269
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: You may not like how it was handled, but if

270
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: it was handled that poorly, then John Harbaugh wouldn't have

271
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: talked to him two days later. If my wife asked

272
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 5: me for a divorce and it's really bad, like really

273
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 5: really bad, I'm probably not.

274
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: Having a conversation with her two days later. Just not happening.

275
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm gone.

276
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 5: Like, but the point is, you've got all of these

277
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: details coming out, and it just felt like an organization

278
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: and a coach in which things had run their course.

279
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 5: It just ran its course. It was a really disappointing season.

280
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: It didn't appear like it was going in the right direction,

281
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 5: even the people that thought that they were on board

282
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 5: with John Harbaugh. Even John Harbaugh told some of his assistants,

283
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 5: He's like, I don't know, man, it's still up in

284
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 5: the air. Everybody was looking around for a clear cut answer,

285
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: and if you can't find one, maybe it's just time.

286
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: John Harbaugh reportedly at peace with the decision. He's already

287
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 5: doing research and scouting on other players. Take your time,

288
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 5: take your time, listen. It's just it's fine, We're good.

289
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: And I'll bet you you know, he's gonna go into

290
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 5: the the Ravens Ring of Honor and everything's gonna be fine.

291
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 5: Him shot, You're gonna be like, everything's gonna be fine.

292
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: But I think we made this out to be oh

293
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 5: my god, because it was shocking, because it's different. We're

294
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 5: not used to the Ravens not having John Harbaugh as

295
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 5: their head coach. They even point out in the article

296
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 5: the last time the Ravens were looking to hire a

297
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 5: head coach, Lamar Jackson was eleven.

298
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: It's been a long ass time.

299
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: So yeah, the fact that he's gonna be elsewhere and

300
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 5: they're gonna have a different head coach, that is bizarre.

301
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 5: It is strange. But also it just meant it was time.

302
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: Steve Bashatti's gonna get crushed on this. I get it.

303
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 5: People are gonna look at this. Then they're gonna see Wall.

304
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: You know he called him, you know he fired him

305
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 5: over the phone. It's like, Okay, I get it. But

306
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 5: if you do a deep enough dive into this whole thing,

307
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: or you just take a step back, you recognize, man,

308
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: sometimes things just run their course. If nobody had a

309
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 5: clear cut answer, either way, maybe that was the answer.

310

320
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: might be called a scumbag, maybe he'll be labeled a scumbag,

321
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: dirt bag, whatever you want to cut that's fine. But

322
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 5: you know what, at least he knows who he is

323
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 5: if that's the case, if that's what you.

324
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: Want to label him.

325
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 5: Even though he's run a successful organization, he doesn't meddle

326
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 5: in things, he doesn't get involved, he doesn't go to

327
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 5: road games, doesn't like to be shown in the sweets.

328
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: During games like.

329
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 5: He's not into any of that stuff, which to me

330
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 5: is an owner you would want. Some owners like to

331
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: do two interviews a week on local radio and all

332
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 5: that stuff, and you know, compare themselves to venezuel whatever

333
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 5: whatever's going on with Jerry Jones. But the point is

334
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 5: Steve A. Shatt He's none of those. So that feels

335
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: like it owner you would want. That feels like somebody

336
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 5: you want to play for. But at least he knows

337
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 5: who he is. Get a whiff of the Miami Dolphins

338
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 5: attempt to try and convince everybody that they didn't make

339
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: a scumbag move. According to Adam Schefter, on the day

340
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 5: the Dolphins finalized in agreement with GM John Eric Sullivan,

341
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 5: they finally reached out to John Harbaugh and let it

342
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 5: be known that they too are interested in him, per sources,

343
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: So add Miami.

344
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: To the list of teams that would like to meet

345
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: with Harbaugh. I mean, can we just cut the crap here?

346
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Can we just stop?

347
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 5: Like, is Miami really going full court press to convince

348
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 5: everybody that part of their decision to fire Mike mcnabanel

349
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 5: was because John Harbaugh became available. Can we just stop.

350
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 5: We're not dumb, We're not naive. This isn't our first dance.

351
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 5: We've been down this road before. Can we just stop?

352
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: Oh and by the way. So have the Dolphins.

353
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 5: And that's why they're sensitive to this because it was

354
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 5: the Dolphins who went and flew to talk to Jim

355
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: Harbaugh about the head coaching position while they had a

356
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 5: head coach.

357
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: They're not new to this either.

358
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 5: It's okay, we get it, John Harbaugh, you look at

359
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 5: as an upgrade over Mike McDaniel.

360
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: We got it.

361
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: But let's not pretend like one didn't have anything to

362
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: do with the other.

363
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: Jeff Darlington was basically painted as the Miami Dolphins cabana

364
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: boy because he went around and was trying to tell

365
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: everybody on social media like, Hey, look man, I know

366
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 5: it sounds awkward, and it is, but that's not Jeff

367
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 5: Darlington's fault. He's he's repeating and he's saying what he

368
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 5: was told. He's doing his job. Hey, this is what

369
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 5: they told me. I get it, but this is what

370
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 5: they told me. The Miami Dolphins don't want the perception

371
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: of being a scumbag while operating any business in an

372
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 5: industry full of scumbags, you know what I mean. Like

373
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 5: it's like somebody who's a drug dealer goes, well, I'm

374
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 5: way better than that guy because I give exact change back.

375
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, good for you.

376
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 5: Like nobody believes that Mike McDaniel just happened to be

377
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 5: fired right after the news of John Harbaugh being fired

378
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 5: took place. Just just happened, total coincidence. What are we

379
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 5: talking about here? It's okay, we understand it's a dirty business,

380
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: we get it. But this whole song and dance and oh,

381
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 5: we're just what we're doing. Here's the here's the part.

382
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 5: Because I talked about this last week, and my whole

383
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 5: read on the Mike McDaniels situation was, dude, of course

384
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: he's good.

385
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel's fine. He operated and you know, he's good.

386
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 5: And why did he feel like he was off with

387
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: some sort of job security talking about how he would

388
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: be involved in the GM search and all, well, like,

389
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: of course he should feel that way.

390
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't he feel security with his job. I mean,

391
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: look at what he did at the quarterback position.

392
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 5: He made a decision to get worse at quarterback just

393
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 5: to see what the future was gonna look like. You're

394
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 5: only doing that if you think you're gonna be a

395
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: part of the future. That's the only reason to do that.

396
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 5: You can say whatever you want about Tua Tagoby low

397
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: at all I got he struggled here in these games.

398
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 5: He's not the same player or whatever. As of right now,

399
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: he's better than quin Yours. He gives your team a

400
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 5: better chance to win the quin Yours. If you say

401
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 5: he doesn't, you're either lying, or you're intoxicated, or you're

402
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 5: an idiot.

403
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 3: One of the three he does.

404
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 5: That's not a knock on quin Yours. Maybe he gets there,

405
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 5: but as of right now, if you've got to win

406
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 5: a game, it's gonna be Tua. So Mike McDaniel after

407
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 5: they fired the GM but kept him, felt confident enough

408
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: that he was going to be around to see this

409
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: thing through that he made the decision to bench the

410
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 5: two hundred plus million dollar franchise quarterback just to see

411
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 5: what they've got in Quinn Yours. And then, you know,

412
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: a couple of days after the season, Dolphins ownership meets

413
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: a you know, man, I don't know what it is,

414
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 5: but just something doesn't sit right about this year. We're

415
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 5: gonna have to let you go. Yeah, I know it

416
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 5: doesn't sit right. I'm aware of what doesn't sit right.

417
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 5: It's the fact that you also got a news alert

418
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 5: on your phone. That said, the Ravens have parted ways

419
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 5: with John Harbaugh.

420
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what.

421
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 5: Didn't sit right. Like, if you're going to be a

422
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 5: dirt bag and a dirtbag business, just own it, just

423
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 5: own it.

424
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

425
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: They always say who are the best heels in professional wrestling?

426
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 5: Like who are the best bad guys in professional wrestling?

427
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 5: It's the guys that find the bad part of themselves

428
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: or gals find the bad part of themselves and they

429
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 5: turn it up to ten. Whatever thing they've got that

430
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: could be abrasive and could piss somebody off, they find

431
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 5: and identify that and they just turn it up to

432
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 5: ten and they own it. If you're the Dolphins, just

433
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 5: turn it up to ten and own it. You clip

434
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: the guy because another one became available. Stop using people

435
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: in the media to get out your messaging because you're

436
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 5: sensitive about what happened with the Jim Harbaugh attempt at

437
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 5: higher years ago. Just stop at the Jonas Knocks on

438

441
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 5: doesn't get a lot of appreciation especially today in the

442
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: world of football. But they're going to get it from me.

Speaker 5: Find out who it is right here on FSR. But

446
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: The throat at sports Talk Radio. He is the majestic

447
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: and the magnificent, Sir Isaac longcrom.

448
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: All True and we begin Jonas with an NFL Playoff

449
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: equestrian upday. As you know, the NFL Playoff's gonna kick

450
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: off two hours from now with the Carolina Panthers hosting

451
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams, and Panthers receiver Xavier le Get

452
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: arrived at the stadium today on horseback. Apparently it's a

453
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: hobby and business for him. He owns fourteen horses. So

454
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: he rode his horse and the horse is named Dolla

455
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: Bill to the stadium today. Your analysis, well, I know.

456
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: They're not playing the Eagles. Because they're playing the Eagles,

457
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 5: one of the fans would have punched it. I know

458
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 5: that that's a true story. By the way Eagles fans

459
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 5: can get upset about.

460
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: It, that's a true snow it is. I don't know

461
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: what to tell you now, Hard.

462
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 5: I've heard reports that Eagles fans have taken out more

463
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 5: horses than Santa Anita.

00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: the planet. I love it. It's because you're not a horse.

Speaker 2: he did publicly disclose raccoon and possum hold.

484
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: Honestly, you've got to do this the right way. Let's

Speaker 8: Right behind what Iilo said, a raccoon and I thought

488
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 8: it was a squirrel.

489
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 9: It was.

490
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: You're right, it was, it was.

491
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: It was both delicacies, if I can put it that way.

492
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 8: Just like Jerry Jones eats squirrel too, so gross.

493
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: See jonas of people have to understand around the country

Speaker 2: Exhaustively covered Xavier Leaguet's youthful dietary habits. We also wrap

522
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: up with this report, Jonas with the following update out

523
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: of the National Hockey League.

524
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: You're ready, right, all right?

525
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: So, a few days ago, some idiot on social media

526
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: put up a post claiming that a player for the

527
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: Ottawa Senators got caught cheating on his wife and then

528
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: told his wife the names of his teammates who also

529
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: cheat on their wives and girlfriends. Now, no one really

530
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: paid any attention to this until the Senator's general manager

531
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: took the drastic step of issuing a public statement denying

532
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: the rumor, in part referring to quote the lowest forms

533
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: of trolls and sick people who scour the internet that

534
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: are attempting to disrupt our hockey club. Well, well today,

535
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: Senator's captain Brady kuld Chuk addressed the rumor as only

536
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: a hockey player can listen.

537
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 10: Knacholai, it's pretty bold, you know. I think it's okay

538
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 10: for people to critique our on ice performance, but when

539
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 10: it gets into family, it's it's pretty bold. So it's

540
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 10: it's embarrassing that it got to the point that it did.

541
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: It's not true. It's just a bold story.

542
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: It was.

543
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 10: It was bold, so it was definitely all over the media,

544
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 10: spread like wildfire. And then that's just a problem with

545
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 10: social media and now that people can just say whatever

546
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 10: they want.

547
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: That audio courtesy of the Senator's podcast Coming in Hot Sends,

548
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: by the way, no word yet if the original social

549
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: media poster was also someone who frequently tweets.

550
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: At the Jonas Knocks.

551
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Back to you.

552
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: Who tweets I mean to you at the Jonas Knocks,

553
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

554
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, so By the way, what's

555
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: that got to do with whether or not they're scoring goals?

556
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?

557
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: Like, hey, and and what they do on the road

558
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: is their business, you know, it's not my business. And

559
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 5: I'm just listen. I'm glad Isaac.

560
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: You know you've never.

561
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 5: You know, you would never pull a stunt like that

562
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: on this show, that you're a more loyal teammate than that, that.

563
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: You would never pull a stop Why of this?

564
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: Oh are you are you? Are you double dog daring me?

565
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 8: Well?

566
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying, like it does feel like where

567
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 5: would this Where would this person just make this story

568
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 5: up at a thin air? Was it was it literally

569
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: just made up at a thin air and then everybody

570
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 5: had to respond to it. Or was it was their

571
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 5: actual validity and evidence and anything else that goes along

572
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: with it.

573
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think it speaks to more about our sports

574
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: media culture. It's like that quote by Mark Mark Twain,

575
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: a lie can travel halfway around the world while the

576
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: truth is still putting on its pants unquote. I suppose

577
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: in ironic terminology there but taking off your pants. Well, allegedly,

578
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: it's also the Streisand effect, because I don't think I

579
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: would have heard about this if the general manager, and

580
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 2: I know the general manager was just trying to stick

581
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: up for his players, but I don't think this would

582
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: have spread to the quote unquote mainstream sports media if

583
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: the general manager hadn't put out that statement.

584
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the Streisand effect. Yeah, well, I

585
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: don't know anything about the Streisand effect, but uh, googo,

586
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: I'll pull Kurt Kurt Signetti google it. So here we go.

587
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: We've covered the Ottawa Senators, horses at Santa Anita, and uh,

588
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: squirrels and.

589
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: Raccoons, So I think that just about covers it. Back

590
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: to you name.

591
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 5: Let me just say this for any of those guys

592
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: that were participating in that off the ice, I don't care.

593
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 3: Just go win games. What do I care? What do

594
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: I care? Doesn't matter to me, you know, not my problem.

595
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: I got my own issues. My problem. You don't looking

596
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: for role models in sports. Sorry, you don't stick your

597
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: nose where it doesn't belong. Allegedly, well some of them

598
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: did allegedly, So all right.

599
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 5: It is Jonas Knox here on Fox Sports Radio at

600
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 5: the Jonas Knocks on X you know, speaking of which,

601
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 5: there is somebody here that I'd like to address Dan Lanning,

602
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 5: the head coach of Oregon.

603
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: You know, so people were kind of mocking him a

604
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: little bit because of his team's.

605
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: Performance last night, and they get destroyed by Indiana, and

606
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 5: so Dan Lanning afterwards tried to take a more positive

607
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: approach to all this, tried to show some appreciations. I

608
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: want you to listen to head coach of Oregon, Dan Lanning,

609
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 5: showing some appreciation for his players, and then I'm going

610
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 5: to tell you exactly why I too appreciate them.

611
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 6: This is going to be a life lesson that a

612
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 6: lot of people never get.

613
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Right.

614
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 6: We just got our butt kick, all right, That's going

615
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: to happen in life, right, and not just Dante, every

616
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 6: single person in the locker room, every coach, every person

617
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 6: can learn. How do you respond to that? Some people

618
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 6: crawl into a hole, right, don't face the music. Some

619
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 6: people will say, okay, let's figure it out. Let me

620
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 6: challenge myself so I can get better. Let me go

621
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 6: be an example to how do you handle moments like this?

622
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: And you know what, Dan, let me tell you something.

623
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 3: How do you handle moments like last night?

624
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: You live?

625
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: Bet you you know what?

626
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 5: Off Because while some people were sitting there crying about

627
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 5: Oregon getting blown out. Some of us had the nuts

628
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 5: to step up and say, you know what, I'm gonna

629
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 5: support the Ducks, and I'm gonna support them, especially when

630
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 5: I'm getting thirty four and a half points and guess what,

631
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 5: Bingo Bengo with about twenty seconds left and a pat

632
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 5: that meant nothing, and away we go. We are in

633
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: the winner circle. And that's the problem. That's the problem.

634
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 5: You got too many negative people out there that go

635
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 5: into those games focused on what their quote unquote pick

636
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 5: was on the game, and not enough of them.

637
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: Are willing to adjust on the fly.

638
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 5: And I'm watching Oregon getting knifed by Indiana on national TV,

639
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 5: and I could have sat there and said, you know what,

640
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 5: I thought Oregon was gonna keep this close.

641
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: But you know what I did. I stepped up. I

642
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: didn't give up, all right.

643
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 5: I persevered and I found Oh you know what, look

644
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 5: at that Organ's getting thirty four and a half points.

645
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 5: You take a swing, the ball goes over the fence

646
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 5: and the next thing you know, the rest is history.

647
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 5: So while the rest of the day, blocks are sitting

648
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 5: there crying in your oatmeal, wondering what happened to your ducks.

649
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 5: Some of us were out there trying to find solutions,

650
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 5: so thank you, Dan Lanning. Not us on this show

00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: But right now, it's time for a Saturday tradition called this.

664
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: There are so many stories in the world of sports,

665
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: and most of them are a complete waste to.

666
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: Dmzer reports, Let's get kinky. Here's some of the big

667
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 3: stories from the last week.

668
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: But Jonas, the real question is.

669
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 3: Do you care?

670
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 5: And for that we turn it over to our executive

671
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: producer Bremuro to find out what the hell people have

672
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: been talking about all week.

673
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 3: What's up? Brief?

674
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 8: What's up? Jonas? Okay, So, during his media availability this week,

675
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 8: Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a shot at the Jets,

676
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 8: stating that during his time at Pittsburgh there hasn't been quote,

677
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 8: any leaks on the boat and how nice it is

678
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 8: to go through a season without quote any bs on

679
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 8: and off the field. Jonas, do you care?

680
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's nice. I think it's nice as well, Aaron.

681
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 5: And while you had Aaron Glenn who sat there and

682
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 5: looked you in the eyes and said, we don't need you. Meanwhile,

683
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 5: he's operating a team whose defense had zero interceptions an

684
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 5: entire year, which is the first time in NFL history.

685
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers finds himself hosting a playoff game in primetime

686
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 5: on Monday Night. It's a good conclusion to what was

687
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 5: set up to be a miserable story.

688
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 8: Next, eighty one year old al Michaels is officially returning

689
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 8: to Amazon Prime next season to call Thursday Night football. Jonas,

690
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 8: do you care?

691
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do care.

692
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 5: And I'll tell you something about al Michaels. And I've

693
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 5: said this before. I don't think he's lost his fastball.

694
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 5: I just think al Michaels has seen so many things

695
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 5: in the NFL that if he's not interested in the result,

696
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 5: or if a play doesn't impress him, yes, sorry, doesn't

697
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: impress me, Like you got to do more to impress

698
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 5: the guy if you give him a bad game. When

699
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 5: they first got games on Amazon Prime early on, he

700
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 5: was going to call him out. Al Michaels is still

701
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 5: a quality broadcaster. He's one of the all time greats.

702
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: I hope he does it for as long as he wants.

703
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 8: Next, the NCAA denied ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss the

704
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 8: waiver request for a six year of eligibility, and ole

705
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 8: Miss has decided to appeal Jonas do you care?

706
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: No, I don't care he have those I'm done.

707
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 5: I just I'm fatigued with portal talk and transfer eligibility

708
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 5: and this and that, and it's like, come on, man,

709
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 5: can we just like watch the games, focus on the games,

710
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 5: look at the matchups, and then take.

711
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: Time to get into all that garbage later.

712
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 8: Next, in an appearance on the Netflix Sports Club podcast

713
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 8: that I've never heard of before in August, Paul fine

714
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 8: Bomb said that he was so tired of being harassed

715
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 8: by Big ten fans and that he would leave the

716
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 8: country if an SEC team did not win the national

717
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 8: championship this year. Jonas, do you care?

718
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah?

719
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: Kind of?

720
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: I mean I don't care about the the whole SEC

721
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: Big ten stuff, the conference rivalry claiming your conference, Like

722
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 5: I just it's been going on for so long.

723
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 3: I don't care about that. But where would he go?

724
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: Like if you're Paul fine Bomb, Like, where could you

725
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 3: go if you were gonna think I'm moving to Mexico? Okay?

726
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 5: Imagine Paul fine Bomb in Mexico? All right, imagine Paul

727
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 5: mom walking down the streets of Guadalajara. Okay, Like, let

728
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 5: me just tell you something, as somebody who's been there,

729
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 5: probably not the place for him.

730
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 8: Next, the Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining offers to potentially trade

731
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 8: two time All star Jah Marian ahead of the trade deadline. Honest,

732
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 8: do you care?

733
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 3: Oh no, definitely not. No, I don't care.

734
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 5: This is like, what's the real gripe here? Well, he

735
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 5: rubbed teammates the wrong way? What because he had a

736
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 5: fake gunlighter? Like what are we talking about? Like, so,

737
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 5: if you're gonna trade him, trade him. I'm so tired

738
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 5: of these superstars and and all of a sudden, they've

739
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 5: got to be dealt because teams aren't happy, et cetera,

740
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 5: et cetera.

741
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: Just make your move and let us live our lives.

742
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 8: Next, the Saints are committed to Tyler Schuck as they're

743
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 8: starting quarterback in twenty twenty six. Jonis, do you care?

744
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: I do I.

745
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 9: Like it?

746
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 5: Because let me tell you something, If Bremuro cares about it,

747
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 5: that means I care too.

748
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 9: Damn right.

749
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 3: There's three things you don't do.

750
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 5: You don't spit in the wind, you don't tug on

751
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 5: Superman's cape, and you don't shame the Saints in front

752
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 5: of Bree that's for sure.

753
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports.

754
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 5: You know, just because somebody makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't

755
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 5: mean they can't just be themselves and you can't just

756
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 5: let him live a little bit. We'll get into that

757
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 5: for you coming up here just a couple of moments

758
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 5: from now. Jonas Knox Fox Sports Radio. You can listen

759
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 5: to this show as always on the iHeartRadio app. You

Speaker 5: If you're listening on the podcast. We appreciate you doing so,

762
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 5: and we are talking football.

763
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Baby.

764
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 5: We got playoff football in college, we got playoff football

765
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 5: in the NFL. All sorts of stuff to get to.

766
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 5: But before we look forward, we got to look back.

767
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 5: Because I was making this point earlier that Indiana has

768
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 5: been so dominant that I'm waiting to see what the

769
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 5: catch is, Like there's got to be something else here,

770
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 5: Like it doesn't even make sense. They're awful for years

771
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 5: and years and decades and decades and decades, and then

772
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 5: all of a sudden they're just the most dominant team

773
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 5: in the sport.

774
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

775
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 5: What they did last night to Oregon was absurd. What

776
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 5: they did to Alabama was insane. And it's all of

777
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 5: those things because of what they were before Kurt Signetti

778
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 5: got there. It's why when you hear people say this

779
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 5: is the greatest coaching job in the history of maybe sports,

780
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 5: you're looking at it going nah, na, na, And then

781
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 5: you look at the historical comparisons between where they'd been

782
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 5: at their accomplishments or lack thereof, probably better put, and

783
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 5: where they are now and you just go, oh, no,

784
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 5: this is like, yeah, it's in the conversation and I

785
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 5: said this earlier, like they're so dominant that I just

786
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 5: I think it's fake. I think it's ai. I think

787
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 5: there's some conspiracy going on. There's got to be something

788
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 5: else that There's no possible way they're this good. There's

789
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 5: no possible way. And I look around at like the

790
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 5: you know, the usuals. Like, man, when you found out

791
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 5: after the Astros won the World Series, when you found

792
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: out what was going on, you were like, okay, now

793
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 5: it makes sense. All right, I get it makes sense now,

794
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 5: yeap banging trash cans, like electrical buzzers on their torso,

795
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 5: under their jerseys, like all the like stee like all

796
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 5: that stuff. Then you look back at it, you go, okay,

797
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 5: makes makes total sense now. And I almost find myself

798
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 5: waiting for that to happen with this team, which is

799
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 5: not fair. But I've just not used to seeing Indiana

800
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 5: football like this. If you were to ask me, to

801
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 5: ask me two years ago, all right, Indiana sports. First

802
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: name that comes to mind, what is it? Bobby Knight,

803
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 5: Colbert Cheney, like Isaiah Thomas, Bobby Hurley is the point

804
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 5: guard in Blue Chips.

805
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: I like, That's what I'm thinking of.

806
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 5: And now we've completely rewritten how we think about an

807
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 5: entire program, an entire university and their athletics because of

808
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti and Fernando Mindal, Like, it's bizarre.

809
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: There's got to be a catch steroid, it's cheating.

810
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 5: Artificial intelligence, like whatever, Like, there's got to be something.

811
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 5: I almost want to crocket. I want to go on

812
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 5: and ask Grok is this real? Is Fernando Mendoza Ai?

813
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 5: Does Kurt Signetti really exist? Are we living in the matrix?

814
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 5: Are we living in some sort of a simulation?

815
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 3: Like what is going on here?

816
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 5: Because none of it makes sense? And then you get

817
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 5: to the conversation about Kurt Signetti and it's like, ah,

818
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 5: you know, people look at him and they go, well,

819
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 5: you know, he's a Sabin disciple, so he's like, you know,

820
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 5: he's got a little bit of that Sabin going on,

821
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 5: and you've got you know, he's you know, maybe a

822
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 5: little bit of a red ass, and he shows no

823
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 5: emotion and there's a little Belichick going on there and

824
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: all that stuff, and so like, of course, Kurt Signetti

825
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 5: before the organ game, he gets asked by somebody about

826
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 5: you know the fact that he never smiles, and he

827
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: had this to.

828
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 11: Say, No, that's not right. I mean there's a lot

829
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 11: of time I am happy, I just don't show I'm happy.

830
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 11: And if I'm going to ask my players right to

831
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 11: play the first game, first play, to play one fifty

832
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 11: the same, regardless of the competitive circumstances, then I can't

833
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 11: be seen on the sideline right, high fiving people and

834
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 11: celebrating or what's going to happen? Right, what's the effect

835
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 11: going to be?

836
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 5: Right?

837
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 11: So that's why I am like I am during a game. Plus,

838
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 11: I gotta make important decisions manage a game. These decisions

839
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 11: we have to make in terms of games man game management,

840
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 11: when to use timeout, when not to use timeout, whether

841
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 11: to be aggressive in two minutes? Right, I had to

842
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 11: use a timeout on defense that I called against Alabama

843
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 11: on fourth to one, right, and end up being a

844
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 11: pretty big secret, you know. So you got to be

845
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 11: dialed in and thinking ahead. You know, I'll smile and

846
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 11: celebrate later in the coaches room with the coaches, you know,

847
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 11: maybe have a beer. Of course, in the playoffs, you

848
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 11: got to do nine or ten different press conferences after

849
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 11: the game. So that's about nine and a half later.

850
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 11: You know, people ask are you ever do you ever

851
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 11: get to enjoy this. And last week I asked Jeff Keke,

852
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 11: I said, we just won the game and I got

853
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 11: ten press conferences I got to do after the game.

854
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: When am I going to enjoy this?

855
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 11: So No, I do smile and I am happy at times.

856
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: You know what, Hey, Kurt, you could do whatever the

857
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 5: hell you want. Why are we trying to make this

858
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 5: guy smile more, be more approachable?

859
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 3: Do whatever the hell you want.

860
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 5: His last name Signetti. If he does want to smoke

861
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 5: cigarettes on the sideline, go ahead. If you want to

862
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 5: light up a lung dart and put it out on

863
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 5: the bottom of your shoe as you're walking into the stadium,

864
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 5: do whatever the hell you want. If you want to

865
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 5: be a red ass. If you want to go rip

866
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 5: beers at a local brewery in Bloomington afterwards, who cares,

867
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 5: Do whatever you want. We got to stop trying to

868
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 5: make these athletes coaches approachable, make him into something that

869
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 5: make us feel comfortable.

870
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: No, do whatever the hell you want. Be exact, Let

871
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 3: the guy live, Let the guy operate as the way

872
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: he sees fit.

873
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to show any emotion while he's there

874
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 5: on the sideline. Yeah, he's right, he's got to make

875
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 5: a ton of decisions. He's got a lot to do,

876
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 5: Like how do you want him to celebrate? I don't know.

877
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 5: He's got to sit there and go through all these

878
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 5: postgame interviews and press conferences and all that.

879
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: Like you ever heard this is.

880
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 5: What's crazy, okay, because a lot of people don't think

881
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 5: about this stuff. And Troy Aikman actually told this story

882
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 5: recently where he was talking about how his first Super

883
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 5: Bowl he had nobody to hang out with. He ended

884
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 5: up hanging out and you know, having a drink and

885
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 5: and you know, with the hotel staff members and team

886
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,839
Speaker 5: staff members because he had to do so much postgame

887
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 5: press that by the time he got done with it all,

888
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 5: all the players had already left to go to Super

889
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 5: Bowl parties. He had nobody to hang out with us.

890
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 5: He ended up hanging out at the hotel bar and

891
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 5: the lobby with like members of the staff, some coaching

892
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 5: like broadcasters were there, just because he had nobody to

893
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 5: hang out with. Like some of these boxing events, like

894
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 5: these UFC boxing events that take place on the East Coast,

895
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 5: by the time they get done, say the main event

896
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 5: ends at you know, after midnight one am. By the

897
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 5: time they get out of there. It's like four in

898
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 5: the morning, Like you're not able to really enjoy it

899
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 5: or take part in it like some people are. And

900
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 5: so Kurtzignetti he's like, look, man, there's just a reality

901
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 5: to this job. Sure I do smile, Sure I get happy.

902
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 5: I'd love to go rip a beer, maybe shock and

903
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 5: a beer in my office.

904
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: I would love to.

905
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 5: I mean, unless you're coaching at Ohio because apparently that's

906
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 5: not allowed. Okay, apparently that's not allowed at Ohio. But

907
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti he's like, yeah, I would love to do

908
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 5: all that, but I've got all this I gotta do,

909
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 5: Like I've got to get through all of this after

910
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 5: coaching a team in the middle of a game. But

911
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 5: people know you gotta smile more, Kurt, show more personality.

912
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: No be a red ass, like you want to be

913
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 5: an ahole.

914
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 3: Be an a hole. That's fine. Belichick did it for years.

915
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 5: And yeah, maybe people on the back end were happy

916
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 5: and they like to take shots at Belichick because he

917
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 5: wasn't nice or forthcoming with the media, or maybe he

918
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 5: didn't give you all the answers you wanted to give

919
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 5: you a bunch of can dry answers.

920
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: But you know what he did the way you wanted

921
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 3: to do it.

922
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 5: We gotta stop trying to mold people into what makes

923
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 5: us feel comfortable. No, the best part about somebody is

924
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 5: that they're not you. How Ell is she gonna take

925
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 5: in new things? How well she gonna experience new Like, hey, oh,

926
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 5: that guy's kind of quirky over there? Boy, he never

927
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 5: says anything. Yeah, it's either that or maybe you talk

928
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 5: too much.

929
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe that's why.

930
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 5: So if your Kurt Signetty handle it exactly the way

931
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 5: you've been handling it, it's worked. Wonders and people gotta

932
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 5: stop trying to make him be something that he's not.

933
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: Is he gonna go have a beer? Maybe? Is he

934
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 3: gonna crack a smile? Probably not?

935
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 5: Is he gonna beat your ass every time he takes

936
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 5: the field as of right now? Yes, I mean they're

937
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 5: a seven plus point favorite over Miami, who's looked pretty

938
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 5: good themselves.

939
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 3: And it's a road game. That game is a home game.

940
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 5: For the Hurricanes, and Indiana is so dominant that they're

941
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 5: an overwhelming favorite to win that game. Like it's like,

942
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 5: you can't even like what they're doing is improbable. So

943
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 5: Kurt signetti.

944
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 3: Hey man, live your life.

945
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 5: Stop trying to let people got to stop trying to

946
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 5: force their ideals on that guy. Let him do whatever

947
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 5: the hell he wants, because that guy's coaching as soon

948

954
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,719

970
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,600

971

Speaker 5: is going to give you some candy ass response and

972
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 5: try and click, but there does need to be a

973
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,760
Speaker 5: conversation about something that the NFL does. It still doesn't

974
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,120

1014
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 5: So one of the games coming up later on tonight

1015
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 5: kind of has a tie in to a story that

1016
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 5: took place earlier. So Matt Ryan was quote unquote officially

1017
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 5: hired by the Falcons. Everybody knew this was going to happen.

1018
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 5: It was almost like the news got out early and

1019
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 5: then they had to kind of walk it back and

1020
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 5: then let it slowly leak out. But it's official. Matt

1021
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 5: Ryan's going to be the team president of football with

1022
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 5: the Falcons. So this according to ESPN, the role is

1023
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 5: a new one added to the organization's front office. In

1024
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 5: recent days. Ryan was widely expected to be hired for

1025
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,439
Speaker 5: this position. He will now lead the searches of both

1026
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 5: the open head coach and GM roles and will have

1027
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 5: oversight of whoever is hired. So you look at that

1028
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 5: and you go, all right, so that's the story today.

1029
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 5: How could that story be tied into what takes place tonight?

1030
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 5: And tonight you've got the packers of the Bears and

1031
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 5: one of the rumors or possibilities that's been out there

1032
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 5: is what happens to Matt Lafleur if the Packers lose

1033
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 5: this game tonight, And a lot of this is tied

1034
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 5: into the fact that Matt Lafleur or if there's a

1035
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 5: contractual thing going on, there's been a change there in

1036
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 5: the front office. They didn't redo his contract. Same with

1037
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 5: the GM Brian Guda Kunst, and so the conversation as

1038
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 5: they look at this, so it's like, well, that's a

1039
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 5: little awkward, a little interesting, and when you see what

1040
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur has done there, you look at and you go, well,

1041
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 5: that's insane. Why would they move on from Matt Lafleor.

1042
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 5: But the fact that there was no deal done does

1043
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 5: bring this up as part of the conversation. So Albert

1044
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 5: Breer was on with us on Thursday morning in talking

1045
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 5: about the expected hire of Matt Ryan in Atlanta, and

1046
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 5: he kind of tied the two together as to why

1047
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 5: the Falcons hire today could have something.

1048
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 3: To do with a Green Bay loss.

1049
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 9: Later on tonight, did they look at it and say,

1050
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 9: you know, we want to do something bold and you

1051
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 9: guys know Matt Ryan's.

1052
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 3: Position coach was there? You want to good call? Yeah,

1053
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 3: it was Matt Laflor. Yeah, so Matt Lafleur was there.

1054
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 9: So I mean, if you're Matt Ryan and you're saying, okay,

1055
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 9: like we want to we want to do something that's

1056
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 9: going to make a splash and kind of establish us,

1057
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 9: do you pick up the phone to call the packers

1058
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 9: if they lose this weekend and say like, hey, what

1059
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 9: would it take for us to get him out of there?

1060
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 8: You know?

1061
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 9: And if if the packers are in a position where

1062
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 9: they're saying like, well, we're not sure we want to

1063
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 9: do a contract right now with Lafour, do they listen

1064
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 9: and they have a guy on their staff and Jeff

1065
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 9: Haffley who's going to be sought after to be a

1066
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 9: head coach, and maybe they think a lot. It's just

1067
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 9: there's this sliding door thing. So I don't think they're

1068
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 9: going to fire Lafloor, but I do think like the

1069
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 9: contract situation being what it is, could create some of

1070
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 9: these moving parts and.

1071
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 5: It is kind of interesting. And again that was Albert Breer.

1072
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 5: That was from Thursday, before the official news of Matt

1073
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 5: Huh Matt Ryan's hire in Atlanta came out earlier today.

1074
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 5: But it is interesting just sort of the tone surrounding

1075
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 5: both of these teams tonight to where the Bears are

1076
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 5: just happy to be there. I mean, they could say

1077
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,959
Speaker 5: whatever they want about nah no, we got bigger goal. Like, dude,

1078
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 5: you're just happy to be there. It's been a long time, okay,

1079
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 5: Like if you want to count whatever, you know, the

1080
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 5: COVID year and the you know, the game at the

1081
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 5: Saints in that playoff, Like if you want to count that, fine, Okay,

1082
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 5: they were the seventh seed.

1083
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: They probably had no business being there.

1084
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 5: You go all the way back to twenty eighteen when

1085
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 5: Matt Naggie first got there and they lost on the

1086
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 5: double doink from Cody Parky and all that. Like you,

1087
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 5: but it's been a long time. Their last playoff win

1088
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 5: was twenty eleven. Like, the guy who scored the first

1089
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 5: touchdown in that game was Greg Olsen, and I think

1090
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 5: he's calling the Rams game coming up here. So it's

1091
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 5: really been a long ass time. And they're looking around going, oh,

1092
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 5: we're in the mix. But there does feel like, hey,

1093
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 5: we're happy to be here kind of moment, like we're

1094
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 5: glad to be a part of the conversation.

1095
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 3: We've got a shot. We've beaten them once before.

1096
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 5: All that, But with Green Bay, it looks like, huh,

1097
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 5: maybe there's some stuff going on here, Like the fact

1098
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 5: that Matt Lafleur's name is even in the conversation is weird.

1099
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 5: He's done a really good job since he's gotten to

1100
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 5: the Packers. And there's a lot of people who wanted

1101
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 5: to claim that Matt Lafleur had the success he had

1102
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 5: because well, Aaron Rodgers was there, and when you inherit

1103
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, of course you're gonna have success. But man,

1104
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 5: the reason he took over the job is because they

1105
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 5: were terrible. Mike McCarthy got fired in season. They were awful.

1106
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 5: He gets there and he's winning thirteen games a year.

1107
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 5: He's had one losing season and it was twenty twenty two. Like,

1108
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 5: you look at it and you go, there's a lot

1109
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 5: of playoff appearances. He's won some playoff games. You can argue,

1110
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 5: should they have maybe gone farther with Rogers, Sure, but

1111
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 5: you could say that about several teams that Rogers was on,

1112
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 5: and it's not the place blame on Rogers. But to

1113
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 5: look at this and look in totality of what Matt

1114
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 5: Lafleur has done, the guy's thirty six games over five hundred, Like,

1115
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 5: he's had really good success with the Packers, and they've

1116
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 5: dealt with a lot of injuries this year. If you

1117
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 5: look at where they were at this year, if you're

1118
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 5: going to assess the Green Bay Packers, you've got to

1119
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 5: assess them with the fact that, man, they lost maybe

1120
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 5: their best offensive weapon at tight end. They lost their

1121
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 5: best defensive player that they just traded for and paid

1122
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 5: a bunch of money to. They've got injuries all up

1123
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 5: and down the line up. I think they've got like

1124
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 5: fourteen to fifteen guys on ir like, they've been riddled

1125
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 5: with injuries. So the idea that all of a sudden,

1126
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 5: Matt Lafleur is sitting there coaching his team coming up

1127
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 5: later on tonight, and you've got the Bears who look

1128
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 5: like a guy who just got out of solitaire confinement

1129
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 5: and he's like, all right, whoa, there's actual sunlight. And

1130
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 5: you've got another team who's got a coach who's thirty

1131
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 5: six games over five hundred and his name is being

1132
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 5: rumored as a potential candidate for other jobs. And then

1133
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 5: the way Albert Breer lays it out, you've got the

1134
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 5: Matt Ryan connection to all that. It's just interesting to

1135
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 5: watch how a story that became official today could lead

1136
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 5: to something bigger later on tonight, Jonas Knox here on

1137
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio, at the Jonas Knox on x at,

1138
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 5: Jonas knoxhow on Instagram, and you can hang out with

1139
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 5: us as always on the iHeartRadio apps. So coming up

1140
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 5: next here, at some point, the NFL has got to

1141
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 5: have a real conversation about something that makes no sense whatsoever.

1142
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 5: We'll get into that for you right here on FSR.

1143
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 5: But for all the latest from around the world of

1144
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 5: sports ladies and gentlemen. The one and only, the Magnificent

1145
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 5: and the man who broke the story of all the

1146
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 5: Ottawa Senators players cheating on their girlfriends. Me I broke

1147
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 5: the story of the captain denying that story that was

1148
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 5: started by an internet troll.

1149
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 3: That was a choice by Magnolah's that's all right.

1150
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 2: It was magnified by the Senators general manager putting out

1151
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 2: a statement. It was a fascinating discourse about how a

1152
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 2: rumor spreads in our modern social media landscape, which you

1153
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 2: can hear during our one of the podcast. How about

1154
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: that for a promo of your show? By the way,

1155
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: ticket's great. Yeah, you're walk take it. If you have

1156
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 2: a promo, we can get them onto the apparently much

1157
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,959
Speaker 2: less interesting National Football League, where the Atlanta Falcons hired

1158
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 2: former quarterback Matt Ryan as their new president of football operations.

1159
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: The Falcons today interviewed Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak, as

1160
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: well as Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their head

1161
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 2: coaching job. NFL Media reports the Dolphins requested an interview

1162
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: with forty nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Salad for their

1163
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: head coaching job, as well as Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula,

1164
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 2: the grandson of legendry Dolphins coach Don Shula. The Dolphins

1165
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: have also reached out to former Ravens head coach John

1166
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 2: Harbaugh about their head coaching job. On a related note,

1167
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Jay Glazer just posted and I quote just

1168
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: spoke with John Harbaugh, who told me that while a

1169
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 2: ton of teams have reached out to him about their openings,

1170
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 2: he's going to take the weekend and narrow down to

1171
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 2: maybe three or four to go interview four rather than

1172
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 2: all across the board.

1173
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 3: Unquote.

1174
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 2: The Washington Commanders today named quarterbacks coach David Blouse, their

1175
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator. Eagles ruled out offensive lineman Brett Toath

1176
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 2: for tomorrow's game against the forty nine ers because of

1177
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: a concussion. The Buffalo Bills ruled out receiver Joshua Palmer

1178
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: for their game tomorrow at Jacksonville due to an ankle injury. Finally, Jonas,

1179
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 2: we have an Australian boxing slash skydiving updates.

1180
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 3: You're right right.

1181
01:02:55,440 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 2: An Australian skydiver was recording himself gracefully parachuting to the

1182
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 2: Earth when upon landing, he was immediately confronted by a

1183
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 2: kangaroo who tried to box him.

1184
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Listen, what's up, Scot.

1185
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: All right?

1186
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 3: Yea kangaroos.

1187
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 2: For the best analysis that you can find in the

1188
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 2: sports world, let's go to Fox Sports Radio Australian boxing

1189
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 2: slash skydiving analyst Jonas Knox. Jonas, kangaroos are they're a

1190
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: holes man like that? And you know what, don't they

1191
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: like sit up on their tail when they're trying to box.

1192
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 2: It's almost like their tails of pogo stick.

1193
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 3: That's what the video did show, yes, yeah, and then.

1194
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 5: They start throwing down like that's and look, I know

1195
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 5: that you know this is probably gonna piss some people off.

1196
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Pete is gonna get upset with this, but.

1197
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 2: That's like, I don't think Peter could get any more

1198
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 2: upset than what you had to say earlier during our

1199
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 2: Santa Anita conversation.

1200
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 3: Ah well, if that's the case, and yeah, like that,

1201
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 3: that's when you just break out a sowd off. I mean,

1202
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 3: they wouldn't get up at you. You're not the one

1203
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 3: who's causing all that allegedly.

1204
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 5: I mean, look, if you've got if there's an animal

1205
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 5: that looks like a kangaroo, which which you know is

1206
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 5: just I mean, it looks like an alien and it

1207
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 5: sits back on its tail and starts throwing punches and kicks.

1208
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 3: Like some moy Thai fighter.

1209
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm not taking my chances that my bum

1210
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 5: knee is going to survive a low kick from that guy.

1211
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Sowt off.

1212
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 3: End of story.

1213
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe if he's got the right attitude, I'll drag

1214
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 5: his carcass off the road so nobody runs him.

1215
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 3: Over after the fact.

1216
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 5: Maybe.

1217
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: I like how you use the Australian adjective there, which

1218
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 2: I think was fitting for this story, but expanding upon

1219
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 2: your a whole comment. It is kind of an a

1220
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 2: whole thing to do when someone is risking their life

1221
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 2: plummeting to earth during a skydive in a parachute.

1222
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 3: Agree. You you know there's so much that could go

1223
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 3: wrong knock on wood.

1224
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 2: And you decide to pounce on someone who has just

1225
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 2: basically risks risk their lives to get their jollys, like

1226
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 2: literally right when he lands.

1227
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 3: I agree. And here's the thing, Like, if.

1228
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 5: Somebody fell off the parking structure at the studio and

1229
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 5: you know that's actually happened before, you know that, yeah, yeah.

1230
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that wasn't next. I don't think they actually fell.

1231
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 3: I think yeah, like they were.

1232
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 5: They think they're trying to see if they could make

1233
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 5: it across Del Poiloco. But the point is, uh, if

1234
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 5: somebody falls off the parking structure and they're laying there

1235
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 5: on the ground and they've survived, and somebody's dog walks

1236
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 5: by and relieves themselves.

1237
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: On it, but a dog would never have that. A

1238
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: dog wouldn't wear that. Dogs are nice. You're saying that's fine,

1239
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 2: you're saying a kangaroo would.

1240
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 5: But whatever, if an animal walks by and and takes

1241
01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 5: liberties in a vulnerable moment.

1242
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. What happens next is what happens next, and

1243
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, you know, get upset.

1244
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: With that person for it.

1245
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 5: If a coyote, like coyotes are out here running around,

1246
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 5: they're running a mock when going over the place, like

1247
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 5: looking for somebody's you know, a small animal to eat

1248
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,440
Speaker 5: or a small child like if I if you know,

1249
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 5: if I fall off the roof putting up Christmas decorations

1250
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 5: next year and a coyote wants to take liberties, I'm

1251
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 5: going straight into the kitchen. I'm finding the biggest knife

1252
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 5: I can and we're going to go to work.

1253
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 9: This is what it is.

1254
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, no offense, but I

1255
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 3: got ten bucks on a coyote.

1256
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 2: If that happens, probably and thus concludes a Wild Kingdom

1257

Speaker 2: edition of What's trending back to you.

1258
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 5: Hey, by the way, if the coyote got to me first,

1259
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 5: could you imagine my son avenging his death? You killed

1260
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 5: my father? Prepared to die, you son of a bitch?

1261
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 5: No princess bride. Oh how old is your son? I

1262
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 5: mean is immediately or when he grows up? Now, when

1263
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 5: he gets older Okay, okay, So he would avenge your death.

1264
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 2: He wouldn't go straight to your family's attorney to to

1265
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 2: inquire about you know, the estate family's attorney.

1266
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 3: What are you talking? Have you ever seen narcos?

1267
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 5: They don't have attorneys, got ja, But here's like you

1268
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 5: ever seen a princess bride where he wants to avenge

1269
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 5: his father's death.

1270
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 3: Sure, he says, you killed my father for prepared to

1271
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 3: die the son of a bitch. I could see my

1272
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: son doing that to the coyote. You know what I mean?

1273
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 5: Let's go live or I have a thought on a

1274
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 5: coyote killing me inside a christ perhapulolais Chris?

1275
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 12: I think there is a sweet spot age that you

1276
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 12: are talking to, like, you need to be young. You

1277
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 12: have to be old enough to remember it. But you

1278
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 12: can't be too. But you still need to be young

1279
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 12: enough to have that fiery hot passion that you dedicate

1280
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 12: your life for revenge versus what Ila was bringing up,

1281
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 12: which is trying to file a lawsuit. You need to

1282
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 12: get him at just the right spot where they're going

1283
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 12: to remember it and they're going to swear vengeance for

1284
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 12: their their entire life will just be vengeance after that.

1285
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 5: I mean, look, if that's the case, I mean, you

1286
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 5: guys have made this way too complicated. Next time I

1287
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 5: put up Christmas lights, just in case this happens, I'll

1288
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 5: line my shirt pocket with with grenades and just pull

1289
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 5: the pin on the ground. That's how we're gonna Then

1290
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 5: I'll have to tell your son that it was a conspiracy.

1291
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 3: That's fine, Vengines.

1292
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: It just seems if I didn't know any better, you

1293
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 2: were actually kind of hoping that this would happen just

1294
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: so you.

1295
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 3: Could see what the result would be. I'm just saying no,

1296
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 3: because then nobody's going to clean it up. That's like,

1297
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 3: you gotta see this place like I'm gonna be the

1298
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 3: one out there doing it.

1299
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 5: It's just so yeah, look, it's unfortunate. I'm glad the

1300
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 5: guys survived. And if you're that kangaroo, you ought to

1301
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 5: be ashamed of yourself. By the way, fun little fact,

1302
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 5: one of my all time favorite boxers is Australian. His

1303
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 5: name is Michael Katzds. All right, once you look that up.

1304
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 2: I'll look him up right now, there you go. Are

1305
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 2: you gonna book him a magic against the Kangaroo for

1306
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 2: his next bout?

1307
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, no, I'm not sure. I'm not

1308
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,640
Speaker 5: sure what he's got going on. I've heard reports and

1309
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 5: they're not nice. But that being said, it is Jonas

1310
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 5: Knox here on Fox Sports Radio. Coming up in about

1311
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 5: ten minutes from now, we're gonna have the wild Card

1312
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 5: weekend edition of Knox Locks right here on FSR. I

1313
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 5: do think that it is nice that Mother Nature is

1314
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 5: doing and everything she can to try and make this

1315
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 5: matchup that we've got coming up here shortly between the

1316
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 5: Rams and the Panthers like actually interesting, cause they're going

1317
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 5: to try and sell you this game anyway they can.

1318
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Wall.

1319
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 3: You know, the Panthers beat the Rams last time, it's

1320
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 3: like okay.

1321
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, I mean like they were going

1322
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 5: up and down the field on that okay, and they

1323
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 5: you know, made a couple of phone calls, maybe hit

1324
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 5: up some chemtrail expert and said, hey, could you do

1325
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 5: anything to kind of, you know, add a couple of

1326
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 5: wrinkles into this game, and it's like, all right, well,

1327
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 5: we've got to potentially have thunderstorms and.

1328
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 3: There's win that could be in the area. And the

1329
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 3: reality is it's absurd that the Rams are the road

1330
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 3: team here. It's absurd and.

1331
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 5: The NFL can try and sell you on, well, you know,

1332
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 5: we want to put a value on winning the division. Sure,

1333
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,720
Speaker 5: the value is you get to the playoffs. But if

1334
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 5: you're not a good team, and the Carolina Anthers are that,

1335
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 5: then you shouldn't get to host a playoff game against

1336
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 5: a team who won twelve games. It doesn't make sense.

1337
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 5: And every time they try and to like sell you

1338
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,839
Speaker 5: on this story, well, you know, it's about winning your division.

1339
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 5: So then let the Rams borrow the NFC South for

1340
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 5: a change. Why is this still happening? And for some reason,

1341
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,560
Speaker 5: they bring it up every offseason and nobody wants to

1342
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 5: make the change for some reason, And then they'll justify

1343
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 5: it and say, wow, you know, but so and so

1344
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 5: won this game, and it's like, okay, but they won

1345
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 5: the division. And remember the Seahawks beat the Saints years ago.

1346
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 5: Man Seattle wasn't good and the only reason they won

1347
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 5: that game is because it was at home. They shouldn't

1348
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 5: have been at home. So don't you use the result

1349
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 5: to justify the fact that that team was worthy of

1350
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 5: earning that spot. Carolina is not worthy of having a

1351
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 5: home playoff game. The Rams are yet here we are

1352
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 5: and Carolina is going to need mother nature fluky performances

1353
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 5: like last game, and they're getting spotted an extra ten

1354
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 5: and a half points to try and make the math

1355
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 5: work doesn't add up. At the Jonas Knox on x

Speaker 5: season finished off, because I was in the midst of

1387
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 5: a slump that we've not seen in Knoxlocks ever before.

1388
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 3: All right, Actually, that's probably a lie. Let me call

1389
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: myself out. That's a lie.

1390
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 5: We've been awful times, but it felt like we were

1391
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 5: trending in the right direction by about week fourteen fifteen,

1392
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 5: in the clear, going.

1393
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 3: To have a winning season.

1394
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 5: All was good, and then all of a sudden, you know,

1395
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 5: a couple of one in two weeks, a couple of

1396
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 5: more one in two weeks. Then in week seventeen we

1397
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 5: go zero to three, and all now we're looking around, going, oops,

1398
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 5: we were one game under five hundred heading into week eighteen,

1399
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 5: and week eighteen is one of the biggest pain in

1400
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 5: the asses to pick because you don't know if somebody's

1401
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 5: going to rest their starters halfway through the game. You

1402
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 5: don't know who's motivated, who's playing for incentives, who's playing

1403
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 5: just to be healthy to get to the offseason. So

1404
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 5: it was kind of a risky proposition that we were

1405
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 5: going to be able to get above five hundred, and

1406
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 5: so we decided, all right, what do you feel confident in? Well,

1407
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 5: I felt confident in the Seattle Seahawks.

1408
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 3: All right.

1409
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 5: The Seahawks were a two and a half point favorite

1410
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 5: against the Niners. I'd like Seattle in that game. I

1411
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 5: thought they would get their revenge on the forty nine ers,

1412
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 5: and they did, so we're off to a good start.

1413
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 5: I looked at the Jets and the Bills and I thought, man,

1414
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 5: there's one thing I know, because maybe I don't know

1415
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 5: how long Josh Allen's going to play in this game for,

1416
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 5: but there's one thing I do know. It's that the

1417
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 5: Jets are awful, so you trust what you know, and

1418
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 5: we bet the Bills minus seven and a half and

1419
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 5: guess what, we got it done. So all we needed

1420
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 5: was the Los Angeles Rams as an eight and a

1421
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 5: half point favorite against the Arizona Cardinals to finish off

1422
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,879
Speaker 5: the three and oh week and Week eighteen of Knox locks.

1423
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 3: And they delivered. It was a little dice early on,

1424
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 3: they didn't look good, but they deliver.

1425
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 5: Thus we get ourselves a three and oh final week

1426
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 5: of the regular season. Our regular season overall record is

1427
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 5: twenty seven twenty five and two, which brings us.

1428
01:14:54,000 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 3: To this weekend, Rams at Panthers. I'm gonna take the Rams. Look,

1429
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 3: I know it's a big line. I get it.

1430
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 5: I understand we're talking of all it's historic and good god,

1431
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 5: could you how could you have a team hosting a

1432
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 5: game be a ten point underdog.

1433
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 3: Well it's easy.

1434
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,879
Speaker 5: Carolina kind of stinks, and the Rams, in my opinion,

1435
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 5: are the best team in the NFC. I know they've

1436
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 5: got a couple of questionable losses, but I look at

1437
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 5: the Rams and I go, that's a.

1438
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 3: Team that's going to be going to a super Bowl.

1439
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 5: Give me the Rams. I know it's a big spread.

1440
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 5: I know it's on the road. They've got all sorts

1441
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 5: of motivation. They're all full of piss and vinegar heading

1442
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 5: into this game wanting a little bit of revenge.

1443
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 3: I like the Rams getting it done on the road.

1444
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 3: Give me La minus ten.

1445
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Packers and Bears.

1446
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 5: Now, the line movement in this game has been fascinating

1447
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 5: because at one point it was green Bay minus a

1448
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,799
Speaker 5: point and a half, and then it was the Bears

1449
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 5: minus one and a half, and then it was green

1450
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 5: Bay minus a point or minus a point and a half.

1451
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,560
Speaker 5: And now you've got green Bay minus two and a

1452
01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 5: half heading into this game. And I'm gonna take the points.

1453
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 5: I've got the Bears plus two and a half.

1454
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: It's at home.

1455
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 3: I think they're healthier.

1456
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 5: I think they're going to get back to run in

1457
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 5: the football like they had, control the clock a little bit,

1458
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 5: keep their defense off the field. Who's been exposed over

1459
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 5: the past couple of weeks. Give me Chicago at home.

1460
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 5: Bills and Jaguars. This is the most difficult one to pick,

1461
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 5: the most difficult one because I do believe that the

1462
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 5: Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a one and a half point

1463
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 5: favorite at home it seems like a funny line. Jacksonville

1464
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 5: has been maybe the best team in the NFL down

1465
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 5: the stretch if we're being honest here, Offensively, defensively, Jacksonville

1466
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 5: has been one of the better teams in the league

1467
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 5: to pass month and a half, maybe two months. And

1468
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 5: for some reason, they're just a slight favorite at home

1469
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 5: over the Bills. And you know how I feel about Buffalo.

1470
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 5: I mean, they were on hard knocks. What are the

1471
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 5: chances they're going to make a deep run. But this

1472
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 5: feels like a funny line to me. And if I'm

1473
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 5: looking at it and I see who's the best player

1474
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 5: on the field, and I know that it's Josh Allen,

1475
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ride him in this spot. I'm not crazy

1476
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 5: about it, but I'm getting a point and a half.

1477
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 5: Give me the Bills on the road forty nine ers

1478
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 5: at Eagles. Oh, I love Philly. Philly minus five and

1479
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 5: a half, that's the pick. I think San Francisco got

1480
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 5: exposed and I think they got bullied and beat up

1481
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 5: by the Seattle Seahawks.

1482
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to be the same.

1483
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 5: I think Philadelphia is the most underrated defending Super Bowl

1484
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 5: champion I've maybe ever heard of. They're a really good

1485
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 5: defense offensively, I get it. But I think a lot

1486
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 5: of that stuff we've seen play out in the postseason,

1487
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 5: and I think the Eagles set a tone.

1488
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 3: I like Philly minus five and a.

1489
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: Half, Chargers and Patriots.

1490
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not crazy about betting on the Chargers, but

1491
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 5: I'm getting three and a half points, and I'm getting

1492
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 5: three and a half points against a quarterback who's never

1493
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 5: played in a game like this before, in Drake May.

1494
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 5: I will take the Chargers here. I do believe New

1495
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 5: England wins this game, but I think the Chargers keep

1496
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 5: it close. They're beat up. I'll take my chances with

1497
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert in this spot. Texans, it's Steelers. I'm gonna

1498
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 5: go Houston. They're a three point favorite. It's on the road,

1499
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 5: but I think the storybook ending of Aaron Rodgers ends

1500
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 5: on Monday Night. I like the Texans minus three on

1501
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 5: the road. And that is your wild Card weekend edition

1502
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 5: of Knox Locks.

1503
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: Knoxlocks.

1504
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 5: Thanks Debris, thanks to Chris, thanks to Isaac, and thanks

1505
