You know, when I 25 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: was a younger guy, you know, teenager, college kid, you 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: believe in Oh man, the last time I wore that outfit, 27 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: when I went out, I met a girl at this bar. 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: I got like three numbers. It was money. I'm gonna 29 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: rewear that outfit. It is my money outfit. And let's 30 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: go to the same bar. Let me use the shame stick, 31 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: you know, groundhog Day. You know, you believe in that 32 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: stuff when you're young. Then you get older a little 33 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: more mature, and you kind of toss that stuff over 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: to the wayside. You know, it's like, come on, it's 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: irrelevant and silly. I don't believe in that stuff. Um. 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: I love this line from The Usual Suspects, Just a 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: classic line when Kevin Spacey's getting interrogated in the police 38 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: station and he says, if you're at it on your 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: pop kaiser, asso say, we'll come and get you. You know, 40 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: these urban legends and they grow and you believe them 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: as a little kid. Um. Usual Suspects, by the way, 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of the nineties. I mean 43 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: it was increat I still remember with my buddy who 44 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: listens to this podcast putting regularly. Um. We discovered it 45 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: in like Blockbuster, I think it was like the mid nineties, 46 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: and we watched it were looking blown away by how 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: good The Usual Suspects was, and then watched it again 48 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: and again and we tell people about it. It It was like, 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: not a hugely popular movie. It's like a cult classic 50 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: if you have not seen it. Sorry for the spoiler there, 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: but when it comes to curses and the l A Chargers, 52 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're starting to believe, like Mike, this 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: is the thing, Like is this this is happening again? Halftime, 54 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen gets hurt. It's somebody every week. It's Melvin Ingram, 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: it's Derwin James, it's the boats of brother coming off 56 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the injury. And now Keenan Allen goes down. I mean 57 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: they went into that game down three starting offensive lineman. 58 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: They lose Keenan Allen at halftime, and amazingly, the Chargers 59 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: drop at one point three before Anthony Lynn you know, 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: goes into, hey, we gotta protect this lead in the 61 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: second quarter, and of course the Saints come back and 62 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: Saints take the lead, and okay, the Chargers come back. 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: It's a really good game. It turned it from from 64 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: a laugh for a kind of a boring game into oh, 65 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: my gosh, this is exciting. And then Mike, Mike Williams 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: comes up with a phenomenal catch on third and forever 67 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: and they get in position for the kick. The announcer 68 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: says his nickname is the money Badger, which is awesome nickname, 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: obviously a play off the honey Badger. And this guy 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: who missed an extra point earlier, nicknamed the money Badger, 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: comes in and he hits the upright. Of course it 72 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: had to hit the upright. I'm watching my fourth grade son, 73 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, the money Badger. That just sounds cool. 74 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: That would play well in the locker room. Ha ha. 75 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Not so much here on Tuesday morning. And of course 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: you knew once that missed they were not winning the game. 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: Of course they were not gonna win the game. Come on, Saints, 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: go down, get the field goal. Chargers come down, stopped 79 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: on fourth down and then the cursedness are You're like, oh, 80 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: the Charges. But then if you watch at fourth down 81 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: play Mike Evans, I'm sorry. Mike Williams, the great receiver 82 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: who had a phenomenal game, he looked like a stud. 83 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: He's there, number two, but he looked like a number 84 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: one last night. Five catches buck O nine to TVs 85 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: and he gets stopped on fourth down yard short, great 86 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: tackle by Lattimore and Williams's knee kind of bent back. 87 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: It looked ugly. Hopefully there's no in jury. He was 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: down for a minute that he kind of limped off 89 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. But it just it 90 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: feels like a cursed franchise. They're now one in four. Okay, 91 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: they lead in three of these games. They led the 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs seventeen six in the third quarter, they lead in 93 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the fourth, they lose in overtime. They lead the Bucks 94 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: twenty four seven on the road in Tampa near the 95 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: end of the first half. Then Anthony Lynn decides, oh, 96 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: let's try an r p O with under a minute 97 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: to go inside our ten fumble, Bucks score and Bucks winn. 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: So the Chargers have now led three games against the Chiefs, Bucks, 99 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: and Saints, three of probably the top twelve teams in 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: the league by double digits, and lost all those games. 101 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: And it's just one of these. I don't believe in curses, 102 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: but you look at the injuries mounting on this Chargers 103 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: team and you're like, how are they? How on earth 104 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: are they gonna win this? I forgot to mention they 105 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: went into this game without Austin Ekeler, their number one 106 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: running back, who's a huge chunk of their offense running 107 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: and receiving. I mean, I don't know how Justin Herbert 108 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: can do it, he said. A Monday Night football record 109 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: with four touchdown passes break. Dan Marino and a couple 110 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: other guys were tied with the record with three. Herbert 111 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 1: despite the beat up offensive line, Herbert despite losing Keenan Allen, 112 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: losing Austin Ekelin before the game, and he throws four 113 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: TV passes. You're like, man, Justin Herbert can play, and 114 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: meanwhile here they are one and four, feeling like a 115 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: curse franchise. You never want to say the season is over, 116 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: but unless these guys can start coming back from injury soon, 117 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: you know they listen. They have the Jags and the 118 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Raiders and the Dolphins and the Jets 119 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: up next, so they can get hot here. They still 120 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: have to play the Bills and the Patriots later in 121 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the season, and of course closing out with the Chiefs, 122 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: so they can get hot, but not with these injuries. 123 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is and I know my producer for 124 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: the Saturday radio show Gathered is a hardcore Chargers fan. 125 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: He's texting me others during the game Herbert, Oh my 126 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: gosh that I'm so excited for him, because Herbert looks 127 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: like a stud I mean, coming out of Oregon. I'll 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: never forget Herbert was in the Rose Bowl and I'm 129 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: texting with Cowherd and cow Herd's like, I love this 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: kid from Herbert. I'm texting with scouts. They love Herbert, 131 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: and the narrative online was justin Herbert. I don't know 132 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: about this guy. And you see him, he's like built 133 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: like a like Adonis. I mean, he's like what six 134 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: five to thirty. You can't tackle this guy easily. Herbert 135 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: is a machine back there in the pocket and he 136 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: has some wheels and he's throwing these beautiful deep balls. 137 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: He looks like the prototypical quarterback. He looks like Cam 138 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: Newton back there, and there's still this negative perception about 139 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: him because he's quiet and Justin Herbert is he an alpha? 140 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: Is he a leader? And is he the kind of 141 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: guy where there'll be five dudes eating lunch and it's 142 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: time to go, and you know the alpha is always 143 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: driving or reason shotgun? Is Justin Herbert really driving? Or 144 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: is he in shotgun? Or is he in the back seat? 145 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: Like these silly narratives build up because Justin Herbert's not 146 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: like a puff your chest out on the man. Know 147 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: that that narrative that you have to have a quarterback 148 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: who's in alpha in the huddle, commanding respect, Like, I'm 149 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: not sure I buy that. Justin Herbert has shown me 150 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: so much halfway through his rookie season. Just toss all 151 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: those silly narratives out. You give me the Chargers with 152 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: a fully healthy roster. I mean, that's a playoff team 153 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: in the a f C, no doubt about it in 154 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: my mind. They fall to one and four now quickly 155 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: on the Saints, who get another lucky win. I mean, folks, 156 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: before halftime, when it was twenty three, Drew Brees picked 157 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,599 Speaker 1: off all right, So um, who replacing replacing Breathe with 158 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: that halftime? Is it Taysom Hill? Is it Jamis Winston. 159 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: There's this weird narrative on social media about Jamis Winston 160 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: should be the starting quarterback, and I think, okay, um, guys, 161 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: we saw Jamis Winston for what four years as a 162 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: starter in Tampa. He was a roller coaster ride of 163 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: emotions between awesome touchdowns and turn over machine. And the 164 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: other option is Taysom Hill, who the Saints have seen 165 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: at practice every day for the last few years. Knows 166 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: the system, can do a little of everything, special teams, 167 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: He wins running the option, he can throw, he can catch, 168 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: you can line up. Tayson Hill's a tight end and 169 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: he's gonna come through for you. They're paying him backup 170 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: quarterback money. Why wouldn't we see Taysom Hill over Jamis Winston. 171 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't personally get that Taysom Hill comes in and 172 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: gets the game. I guess it was the game tying 173 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: touchdown run or maybe the go ahead in the fourth 174 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: quarter after you know, uh, Taysom Hill failed on third 175 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: down earlier in the game. Just it's so it's so 176 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: weird how people love Jamis Winston, but Hey, Taysom Hill, 177 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm on te Taysom Hill. I like what I've seen 178 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: from the guy at playoff game last year. He was 179 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: phenomenal when nobody else showed up and Breeze, Breeze did 180 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: look washed. He did, of course have that third. It 181 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: was at forty one yard TV pass to Jared Cook, 182 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: who I dropped off my fantasy team of course because 183 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: he was injured, and Breeze look good in the second half. 184 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: Three you the record will show Drew Brees yards passing 185 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: and he gets the win. But personally, nobody with a 186 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: pulse can watch that game and say Drew Brees looked 187 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: better than Justin Herbert. And if you remember after the 188 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: game they took a picture together, it looked to me 189 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: like Drew Brees was getting the cameraman. Hey, can you 190 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: get a picture of me and Justin Herbert. But we're 191 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: not gonna go there anyways. Saints win, they look into 192 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: a three and two record um hasn't been pretty. They 193 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: have a huge matchup in two weeks against the Panthers. 194 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: Panthers have a tough one this week with their favorite 195 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: against the Bears, so the Saints will face Teddy Bridgewater, 196 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: who knows Drew Brees and the Saints. Well, in two weeks, 197 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: that'll be a big game in the NFC South. Rob 198 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: g Any thoughts on Wash Drew Brees a seventeen point rally. Um, 199 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: I know you're an l A guy. You probably have 200 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: some thoughts on the Chargers, even though you're a big 201 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: Raiders hunk. Well, we were early on the Washington Drew 202 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Brees narrative. I think that you and I had this 203 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: after his first game, even though they beat Tom Brady 204 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: and the Bucks. We were saying then that he looked washed. 205 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: And Uh, it's tough number one for my preseason predictions 206 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: because I had the Saints winning that division. So it's 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: not looking too good. But it's great for my fantasy 208 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: team because that Alvin Kamara and he can't throw it 209 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: past ten yards, you know, accurately. So I'm getting a 210 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: lot of points with the the PPR and Alma Kamara. 211 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: But my big takeaway from this game and really the 212 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: last few weeks is that Anthony Lyne is a terrible coach. 213 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: And it goes back to the whole uh Tyrod Taylor 214 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: incident or is it is it to Rod? If I 215 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: forget how it's pronounced exactly, but it was clear in 216 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's first game against the Chiefs that he was 217 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: the more talented player and that he the stage wasn't 218 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: really be too big for him. And at that point 219 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: you invested a high draft pick, you might as well 220 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: just roll with him. It was was pretty obvious, and 221 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, Anthony Lynn had this narrative going for 222 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: two weeks, think maybe two and a half weeks, saying, I, well, 223 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, Tyrods want a game for us. He's got 224 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the one win so as far as I can tell, 225 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert so it doesn't want a game, So I'm 226 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: gonna go with the guy gives the best chance to win. 227 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: Anybody with eyeballs can tell you that Justin Herbert was 228 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: a better quarterback. So that was number one. That was 229 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: his first nap Frood'm guessing it dates back to their 230 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: time together in Buffalo, right, I mean they probably connected, um, 231 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: because you're right he he's been saying, what Rod's healthy, 232 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: He's our guy? Like nobody who what's that Bengals game? 233 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: That opener they should have lost to the Bengals and says, oh, yeah, 234 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: Tyrod is better than Justin Herbert. Like, you can't do that, 235 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: that you're lying to yourself if you think, well, see 236 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: even if you would have stuck with it, but just saying, hey, 237 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: it's not his fault. He got hurt by our doctors. 238 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: It wasn't even his own you know fault. It was 239 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: us who screwed it up. And I don't believe in 240 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: a guy losing his job d danger. I understand that 241 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: part that as even if I disagree with it, I 242 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: understand it. But for him to keep pushing this idea 243 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: wall Tyrod's gotta win under his belt. He's one to 244 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: know as our starter. So why would I not go 245 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: with a guy who's who's winning and that didn't make 246 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: senstands number one? Number two. I know that jefin Herberts 247 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: are rookie, and I know he's uh inexperienced, but there 248 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: is no good reason why any team with a top 249 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: five level quarterback you know, draft pick and even reasonable 250 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: weapons which they have. You know, Keenan Ali before he 251 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: got hurt, was really good. Mike Williams, though he's always 252 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: thinking up, it's physically he's a monster. Alston Neckler got 253 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: hurt last week, but in their last three or four games, 254 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: I don't think they've scored more than seven points in 255 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: the second half of any game, and that is directly 256 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: tied to the coaching staff and their inability to make adjustments. Yeah, 257 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: there's no reason why they should be able to like 258 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: last night, scored twenty points really quickly in that first 259 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: half and only score seven the rest of the way, 260 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: and that's seven came off of a blown coverage. Should 261 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: not work that way. You should not be up twenty 262 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: four to seven in Tampa and then I think only 263 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: score seven again the rest of the way. Yeah, that 264 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: was the game. They lost Eckler in the second half, 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: But no excuses that. You gotta stay aggressive in this league. Listen, 266 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: we saw it with Zimmer to a lesser extent against 267 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks Sunday night, fourth in one. He made the 268 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: call to go for it aggressive. You could argue equivalent 269 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: with the play call. Maybe you do the quarterback sneak, 270 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: maybe Madison picks the right hole. But the second that failed, 271 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: you knew Russell Wilson's coming back to beat you. And 272 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: you do this against Tom Brady. Tom Brady is gonna 273 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: come back and beat you. You You do this against Drew Brees, 274 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: did ooh so you just gotta stop coaching. Scared Anthony Lynn. 275 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: But Rob g put me onto this Dak Prescott story. 276 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: Um Stephen Jones, Rob, I'll never understand this. Okay, you're 277 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: a producer. You maybe can talk me through. Why Stephen 278 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: Joe Owns would say this on the radio. You know, 279 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: you you go out and you get good guests. You 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: have an eye for who's gonna say something. First of all, 281 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: why is the executive vice president of the Cowboys doing 282 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: a radio show the day after a win over the 283 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Giants when you lose your quote unquote franchise quarterback. Why 284 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: does Jerry Jones give interviews all the time? Stephen Jones 285 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: opens his mouth and says, oh, yeah, our future plans 286 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: haven't changed at all, absolutely not. Doc is the face 287 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: of our franchise. We know he'll overcome that, like he's 288 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: still in the hospital. So much can happen, Rob over 289 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: the next I don't know. Twenty four hours, forty eight hours, 290 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: four months, six months. Andy Dalton could get on fire 291 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: Wind eleven straight games. Anything is possible. By the way, 292 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys schedule is cake that is legitimately in play. 293 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: It is silly and idiotic and asinine and I think 294 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: front office malpractice. To come out the day after a 295 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: game and give a radio interview about a guy who's 296 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: laying in a hospital bed. I don't get it. I 297 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: think this is idiotic. All it's gonna do is blow 298 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: up in his face. Because if things change and life changes, 299 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: and the world changes, and people change, people change their minds. 300 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: He they're gonna throw this in his face and say, 301 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: but you said this, You said he's the face of 302 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: the franchise, what what change? And that then it becomes 303 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: a story why is he giving this interview? Because they 304 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: like the spotlight. That's the same reason. Jerry Jones is 305 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: the only owner that I can recall in any major 306 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: sport since I've been alive that consistently does a media 307 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: scrum after every game. I don't I don't get it. 308 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: And you brought up a good point. Let's say that 309 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott does come back. Maybe he's not a percent, 310 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: but he's know of what he was next year. You 311 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: said it on yesterday show. Do you really expect them 312 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: to still offer him that hundred and fifty million dollar contract? No, 313 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: nobody does. So if you're Dak Prescott's agent, why the 314 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: hell would you say well, what do you mean You're 315 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: only gonna give me the franchise tag again? I thought 316 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: I was the face of your franchise. You said it 317 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: was the future. Why why why is that offer no 318 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: longer on the table. So you immediately painting yourself into 319 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: a corner. And there's gonna be a ton of people. 320 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna look at Dak Prescott's numbers through these first 321 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: month of the season before he got hurt and said, well, 322 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: look at what he did. He led the league in passing, 323 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: didn't even finish, he didn't finish the game. He didn't 324 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: finish the game, and he was still leading the league 325 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: in passing after five weeks. And so these I know 326 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: what they want to do. They want to make it 327 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: seem like that he's our guy and that and that 328 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: you know, we have his back and we need to 329 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: put out a statement. Just put out a statement saying 330 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: Doc is our guy, we wish him a speedy recovery, 331 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to get him back on the field. Period. 332 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, the media is gonna pick that apart. 333 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: Two people are gonna passwords and say this or that. 334 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: But this idea that you're gonna go out on a 335 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: radio show is totally asinine, but it's typical cowboys. This 336 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: is why this franchise has been a joke for the 337 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: twenty one century. Honestly, what do they have to playoff 338 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: wins since two thousand? Is it one? I don't know. 339 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: I mean this, it's a It surprises me that we 340 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: talk about the Dallas Cowboys rob as much as we 341 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: we should, and I think a lot of that has 342 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: to do with they go in the four pm time slot, 343 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: they get primetime games. They drive ratings well if people 344 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: watch Dallas because everybody watched them in the nineties with 345 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: Michael Irvine and Troy Aikman and Emma Smith fell in 346 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: love with him. As cable TV was exploding and more 347 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: people were getting to see Dallas on a weekly basis 348 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: as opposed to just you know, the one game your 349 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: local TV UM. I think Dallas really benefited from the 350 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: burst of cable and I it's a nation of cowboy fans. 351 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: You know, cowboys starter jackets in the closet, you trot 352 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: them out. If the Cowboys are in the playoffs, you know, 353 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and get all excited. But personally, I'm not thrilled to 354 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: see Andy Dalton in primetime. Two of the next three weeks. 355 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: Are you I don't think Andy Dalton's family is this thrilled. 356 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: I hate to continue talking about the Cowboys because I 357 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: know we agree that they're not there's it's tough to 358 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: find story eig other before dad getting hurt. But let 359 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: me I gotta ask you this question. If your Dak Prescott, 360 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: are you now saying, Okay, I understand the hundred and 361 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: fifty millions off the table, and I know I wanted 362 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: a four year deal. You wanted to give me five 363 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: and I wanted to short deal. What if I say, 364 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: give me three years instead, so you kind of give 365 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: him a little bit of discount. Do you think that 366 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is now going to change his tune on 367 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: his salary demands? That's a great question. Three and nine um. Ultimately, like, listen, 368 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: it's tough to get in Dak's head. The guy's been 369 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: through a lot this year, right, he lost I think 370 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: it was his mom, and then it was his I 371 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: think his brother committed suicide. Like, he's been through a lot, 372 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: and now the year he's supposed to get paid, he 373 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: suffers his brutal ankle injury where his bones popping out 374 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: of his skin just terrifying. And he's in the hot 375 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: like this has been in the middle of a global pandemic, 376 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: all this craps happening, So you know, Dad's been through 377 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: a lot. I feel awful for the guy, and and 378 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, part of me is like, you know, hey, Jason, 379 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: you've been You've been harsh on Dock. No, I haven't. 380 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: He's a really good quarterback. I just wouldn't pay him 381 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: forty million dollars. That's not being harsh, like he's a 382 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: really talented quarterback. I'm just not giving him Pat Mahomes 383 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: or Deshaun Watson money. Um. So I suppose if I 384 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: were DAC, I would entertain that. But remember his agent 385 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: rejected five and one seventy five when he was healthy. 386 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: I can't imagine his agent saying we want three and ninety. 387 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: But given the ankle situation, I mean, the one parallel 388 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: that I saw and and some people will try to. 389 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: I read some names of people who have had an 390 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: ankle injury like this, but no real quarterbacks. UM. Gordon 391 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: Hayward of the Boston Celtics was injured I think on 392 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: opening night and missed the entire season, came back the 393 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: next season and Rob You remember that, like like that 394 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: injuries in his head. Every time Dack's going down and 395 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: someone's tackling, he's gonna have visions of that man. That's 396 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,479 Speaker 1: that you could see Gordon a word. He wasn't dunking 397 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: in the first season he was back, he was a 398 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: totally different player. Now the second season he really started 399 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: to get his get his legs back. And obviously basketball 400 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: and footballers significantly different. But I don't I don't think 401 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna see the same Dak who's a major, major 402 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: threat to scramble. Um. My guess is they will rewire 403 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: the offense a little bit to get him to release 404 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: the ball quicker um as the offensive line ages, the 405 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: receivers are terrific, and you don't want Dak running for 406 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: his life back there. I so many changes, so much 407 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: can still happen. Um, Will he be the Dallas Cowboys 408 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: quarterback on Week one? I would have to guess yes. 409 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, coming off this injury, like I can't imagine. 410 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: And we had field Eights on the podcast last week saying, yeah, 411 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: Dak is gonna have a robust market. There's teams that 412 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: need a quarterback. Is he damaged goods I don't know. 413 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: Remember Drew Brees was in was with the Chargers and 414 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: had that injury, and there were some questions about him 415 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: as a franchise quarterback. Nick Saban was with the Miami Dolphins. 416 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: Nick Saban was pounding the table as the legend goes 417 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: for Drew Brees, and they said, you know what, our 418 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: doctors checked him out. We don't know. Let's go for 419 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: Dante Culpepper. Drew Brees winds up in New Orleans. Dante 420 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: could Pepper ain't the same guy he was with Randy 421 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: Moss and Chris Carter and Nick Saban runs quickly back 422 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: to college football. I don't know how it's possible that 423 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: Dad could come back in eleven months from this injury. 424 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, obviously, God you know, um, but 425 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know that the doctors will know. There's 426 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: so much more than just the injury, the psychological aspect, 427 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: the um playing for that huge contract like this is 428 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough time for Dak and I, you know, 429 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: I prayers up to Dak Prescott. He's got to be 430 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: going through a lot right now. My gut. If I 431 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: were advising him, I'd say take the money, bro, take 432 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: the guaranteed three years. Worry about three years from now. 433 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: In three years, get your money now, get the sixty 434 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 1: million guaranteed generational wealth for you, your kids, your grandkids 435 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: and probably their kids too. Well, Jason, I want to 436 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: segway real quick. I know we didn't plan on getting 437 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: under this topic because I am a Laker homer, and 438 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: so I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you this now. 439 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: Late last night, well, excuse me before that, after Game six, 440 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: Lebron James made a lot of headlines when he said, uh, 441 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: I want my damn respect to and that rubbed a 442 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: lot of people the wrong way, of rubbed our friends 443 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: to get Bayliss the wrong way. Rob Parker that you 444 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 1: know they didn't like that. He felt like he needed 445 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: to voice how disrespected it. Doug Gottlieb kind of said 446 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: the same thing. Well, he doubled down late last night 447 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: on Instagram, he posted a photo of himself. I don't 448 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: know if you saw this. Yeah, he said, it's the 449 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: up in Smoke Tour. What are they gonna say now? 450 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: I know they make up another criteria that nobody else 451 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: has ever had in the history of the game. But 452 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: guess what, though, bring it on. Please heavy as the 453 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: head that holds the crown. They say, let's get it 454 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: hashtag gift from Acron, hashtag revenge season completed your thoughts, 455 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: I love Listen, We're about to go into rob g 456 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: an NBA off season that doesn't have a lot of juice. 457 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe something happens with Paul George Um, maybe 458 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: the Sixers end up trading and Beater Simmons, maybe Honest 459 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: rejects the super Max. But there's not a lot of juice. 460 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: And the NBA has been thriving off this off season 461 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: of juice for the better part of a decade. Right, 462 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: Lebron steps up to the Instagram Mike, and now he 463 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: has just set the storyline for the rest of the week. 464 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: Really up in smoke Tour and he's right, like Lebron 465 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: accomplishes everything. They say everything, Well, Lebron didn't do this, Okay, Well, 466 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: now he went to the West and um got the 467 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: number one seed and one the championship. What else would 468 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: you like? What? What what do we need next from Lebron? Well, well, 469 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: Lebron needed to um get with Anthony Davis. Okay, well, 470 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was a good player. I'm sorry rob g. 471 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: I've totally forgot. What did Anthony Davis one before getting 472 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: to the Lakers. I I can't for the life of me, 473 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: I can't remember one series. Oh right, okay, what had 474 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving? One? Nothing? Before Lebron got back to Cleveland, 475 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: never made the playoffs? Okay, interesting Chris Bosh before he 476 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: got to Miami. What a Chris Bosh done? I forgot 477 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: he was with Toronto. I believe good player he went 478 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: any maybe a playoff series to Canadian Kevin Love. People 479 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: just they want to just latch onto these narratives that like, oh, 480 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: Lebron has to play with a top fIF team player, Well, 481 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: what's the top fIF team player? If he hasn't really 482 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: done anything. He's a good basketball player, so let's just 483 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: use your guy, Bradley Beale. Um. I don't think the 484 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Lakers are personally gonna get it. But let's say the 485 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: Lakers somehow get Bradley Beale. Well, now he's got another 486 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: top twenty player, Bradley Beale. It's an All Star. He 487 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,479 Speaker 1: has never been an All NBA player. You could say 488 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: he was jobbed out of it. Um, he's a good scorer. 489 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: I think he got out of the first round once 490 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: with John wall I think they went to a game 491 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: seven in the second round. Um Bradley bald is a 492 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: nice player, but like he hasn't he doesn't want anything 493 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: to win something you've got to get with Lebron. Lebron 494 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: will then put you in position to succeed, which is 495 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: what Lebron does to everybody. K c P was the 496 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: most hated man on the Lakers probably last year. I 497 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: mean it was like a contest between KCP and you know, 498 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: three other guys. Lebron alongside KCP this year and now 499 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: he's beloved. The Laker fans love him. He's the number 500 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: three guy who needs as well. We got KCP. You 501 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: I guess who could get Dwight Howard to fall in line. 502 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't san Van Gundy and Orlando, wasn't James Harden 503 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: or anybody in Houston, wasn't um Steve Nash and uh 504 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: Kobe in with the Lakers. It was Lebron. Lebron got 505 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard. Yo, you want to ring clean up your act. 506 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: Stop with the stupidness. Dwight Howard was a model citizen 507 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: with the Lakers. Like what more can Lebron like Honestly, 508 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: what more can he do? Is it? Because he doesn't 509 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: totally ship on his teammates the way Michael Jordan did 510 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: that we don't love Lebron. And I saw Zach Low, 511 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: who I'm gonna try to get on the podcast, write 512 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: a really nice piece on ESPN detailing the Jordan Lebron thing, 513 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: and it's complicated and there's a lot in Jordan's favor 514 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: and there's even more in Lebron's favor. And yes, on 515 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: my Instagram stories, I found something from somebody called stat 516 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Muse who looked at I think what Rob G was 517 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: looking at Sunday night regular season stats Lebron, playoff stats Lebron, Like, 518 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron's basically headed towards the greatest player of 519 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: all time. If you don't have him there, that's on you. 520 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: But like, I don't know, rob G, I I love 521 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: this off season. Lebron is just gonna needle and you 522 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: can do that when you're on top. I mean, I 523 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: can't even fathom if they would win another one back 524 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: to back, that's gonna be very difficult. I mean, rob 525 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: if he wins another one, like, come on this game over? 526 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: Can he do that? At thirty six. We're winning it 527 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: next year. I already told you to the stars, and 528 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: I know we gotta get out here. I know we're 529 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: pressed against it. But I'm glad you brought up Michael 530 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: Jordan because all those people that we mentioned that I 531 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, Rob Parker's kid, Bayless, the guy. We like 532 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: them all. We're friends with all of them. But those 533 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: guys all adore head over heels for Michael Jordan's who 534 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: is famous for creating these fake beefs in his mind. 535 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: Oh well, he didn't say how to me in the restaurant, 536 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: and that was disrespectful. Who was that guy, by the way, 537 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: aftergot wasn't it George Carl? George Carl in a restaurant? 538 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: So I took that in disrespect, and you know I 539 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: had to drop. So Lebron does the same thing, but 540 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: with the meetings. Hear what you're saying, I'm gonna take 541 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: it to disrespect and this is my motivation and they 542 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 1: have an issue with it. So it's like you can 543 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: have it both ways. Guys, Come on, Well, the reason 544 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: is because Michael Jordan didn't have Instagram, right, right? If 545 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: Jordan that Instagram in nine or seven, Yeah, you would 546 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: have sounded off that pizza delivery guy was a jerk. 547 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a flu game and dominate, Like, yeah, 548 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: that's that's That's exactly what Jordan would have done. It's um, 549 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're gonna be talking about Lebron plenty. 550 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: And if you missed Monday's podcast, obviously we broke down 551 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: the states where this podcast gets the most listens and 552 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: I got it right here California. Fifteen percent of the 553 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: audience is in Callis, so we got a large Laker 554 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: fan base. Not that that doesn't mean we're alienating the 555 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: five percent in New York or the four percent while 556 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: trust the Ohio doing plenty on Baker and the Browns 557 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: against the Steelers this week, huge game. I mean, it's 558 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: basically back to back weeks where the Browns are one 559 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: of the best games of the weekend. Um, gotta check 560 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,239 Speaker 1: that Brown's injury report though Cleveland. Alright, we're getting off 561 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: topic here. Um, let's get to the best bet. The 562 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: only thing better than sitting on your couch watching the game. 563 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: He's making money while he's doing here's your best bet. 564 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the best bet here on 565 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: straight fire and we're so lucky, boys and girls, we 566 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: get Tuesday night NFL action. I tried, for the life 567 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: of me, I can't remember the last time there was 568 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: an NFL game on a Tuesday night. Just spectacular. I mean, 569 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: maybe there was like a Christmas Tuesday night football game 570 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: or something, but I'm talking about October Tuesday night football game, 571 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans hosting the Buffalo Bills. And the line here's 572 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: three and a half Buffalo favored of us lee Tennessee's 573 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: three and oh oh and three against the spread. So 574 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: the first part of the handicap for this, and this 575 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: is usually a game you totally stay away from because 576 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: who knows what the hell is going on with the 577 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans and COVID twenty four positive tests since September, 578 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: thirteen players, eleven personnel. I mean, that's embarrassing. We've had 579 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: so many teams go through with no positive tests and 580 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: the Titans get twenty four. Really pathetic. It started the 581 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: day before their last game, which was September against Minnesota, 582 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: another lucky win for the Titans. They had an offensive 583 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: line I'm sorry, an outside linebacking coach test positive. He 584 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: didn't make the trip and then three days later it's 585 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: like a full brown, full blown outbreak. Um and the 586 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: Titans of course go to um at a local school 587 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: in Tennessee to get a workout in, and uh there's 588 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: I guess video footage emerged that this just a total 589 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: dumpster fire typical of the Tennessee Titans. It's funny. Before 590 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: last year's playoff front the Titans were like, if you 591 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: thought of the identity of the Tennessee Titans, it was like, oh, 592 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: that's a nine and seven football team, Like every year 593 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: there nate nine and seven, the definition of average. Maybe 594 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: they get a playoff win, more than likely not they 595 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: lose to the Colt and Andrew Luck. But that was 596 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: what they were for a while. And then last year 597 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill goes on this crazy run and now they're 598 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: back to being an embarrassment of a franchise. That's what 599 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee is. And um I tried to look at who 600 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: is out for COVID, and it looks like they'll be 601 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: down to two of their top four receivers, Corey Davis 602 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: and Adam Humphreys boast on the COVID list, and they 603 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: got two defensive lineman on the COVID list. Jeffrey Simmons, 604 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: the promising young kid they drafted in twenty He is 605 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: on the list and a rookie cornerback Christian Fulton Um 606 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: from l s U. So look, look, you're looking at 607 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: like maybe five starters and depth will be crippled here. 608 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: The bigger question is you guys know Um. I've talked 609 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: about this a lot on the podcast. I am a 610 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: creature of habit. I like to set my alarm and 611 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: I wake up, and I brushed my teeth and I 612 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: washed my face. I go downstairs, I pop a couple 613 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: of Vitamin D vitamins. I drink a little bit of water. 614 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: I go from my run, come back shower, get to 615 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: my work, get to my desk. It's like about seven fifteen, 616 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: and then I kind of go through the same routine 617 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: every day. I checked stock Market, check the New York Times, 618 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, and then I dig into sports. And 619 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm a routine guy. And it's not just mornings, whether 620 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: it's working out, push up, sit ups, Um, everything I 621 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: do is routine oriented. You get in a rhythm and 622 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: it really helps to be more effective. How on earth 623 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: can the Tennessee Titans with all these COVID scares the facilities, clothes. 624 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: How can you get in any kind of routine. It 625 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: almost feels like their punishment is having to play this game. 626 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: I have bet Buffalo at minus three and a half. 627 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: It's not a great number, okay, but this is just 628 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: a total fade of the Tennessee Titans. Given this ugly situation, 629 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: I expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry Um he's 630 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: had I believe sixteen days off. They were grinding him 631 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 1: into the ground early in the season. Thirty one carries 632 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: verse the Broncos in the opener against Jacksonville against Minnesota, 633 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: this feels like a thirty Carrey game. I personally don't 634 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: think Henry will be able to make it the full season, 635 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: given last year's workload and the three playoff games, I 636 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: don't see him holding up. And the other thing. The 637 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: other reason I like Buffalo is Josh Allen picking on 638 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: what is a terrible secondary with a doory jackson Still 639 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 1: and I are. The starters for Tennessee are one time 640 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler, who was a turnstyle last 641 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: year at cornerback he was awful, and then thirty six 642 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: year old Jonathan Joseph, who had a couple of decent 643 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: years in Houston, but he's thirty six years old. UM. 644 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: I just think Josh Allen takes major advantage of the 645 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: Tennessee secondary. And if Tennessee falls behind by saying two 646 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: scores and they are rendering Derrick Henry useless, I don't 647 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: know that I trust Tannehill to come back. Now. The 648 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo defense is not what it used to be. Okay, 649 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: the run defense is soft. I see them as ranked 650 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: twenty in the league against the run according to Football 651 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: Outsiders d v o A. That's sound good. Buffalo did 652 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: get gashed by Darrell Henderson, um, who I think is 653 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: the best back on the Rams. We're gonna definitely talk 654 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: more ramsts this week. But for me, everything here lines 655 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 1: up to Buffalo favored by three and a half. Um. 656 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: I hate the hook, but Tuesday night situation COVID. I'm 657 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: just trusting my gut, which tells me ultimately the Buffalo 658 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: Bills are the side. I bet Buffalo favored by three 659 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: and a half. Let's see if we can get another 660 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: win for the best bet. We'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
