00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now Chris in Houston who's

00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: working the dreaded day shift, and Eke in Roseville, Minnesota,

24
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: who's not. They both know though, this show is made

25
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. That's right,

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: ti Iraq. For over forty years they've been helping customers

27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: like Al in Minnesota and Chet in San Diego find

28
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they now.

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: Meller prop Guy he loves the factorship fast and free,

30
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: and Fergdog and aalf love the fact that they're backed

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire act dot com the way tire

33
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: buying should be. So we'll pick up the baton and

34
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: we will slice and dice the continued in depth team

35
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: coverage from the post mortem out of Super Bowl sixty.

36
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: There the dissecting and analyzing has continued. The autopsy of

37
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty and nothing really all that memorable about it.

38
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: It was a bit of a dud, and yet the

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: reaction continues to be overwhelming. I must have been watching

40
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: a different game. I must have been watching a different game,

41
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: because the game that I watched I didn't think Sam

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Donald was very good. Did you think he was good?

43
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think he was good and yet overwhelming? You

44
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: were wrong, Maaler, You didn't know, You don't Why were

45
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: you want?

46
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: I know?

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: You should be on the radio or they always you're

48
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: on overnights. You know that whole thing. Okay, So if

49
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: you haven't been following, that's just a few of the

50
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: handpicked messages in my inbox. But if you have not

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: been following this love affair. As every hack sports blogger

52
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: there used to be sports writers, but every hack sports

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: blogger and social media insider, they all follow the same dogma.

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: And the dogma is that this is one of the

55
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: great redemption stories of all time, and you can't push

56
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: back on that with any reality. You're not allowed to

57
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: push back on the reality of the situation. So the

58
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, we're in the part of the story where

59
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: the Sam Donald mythmaking is going on.

60
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Here.

61
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: We're pupping up Sam Donald next level on to the

62
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: next level here. Now, despite what most knowledgeable people would

63
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: say was a middling performance in Super Bowl sixty on Sunday,

64
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: we are now supposed to believe that Sam Donald has

65
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: somehow skyrocketed. He's leap frogged up into the upper echelon

66
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks of the NFL because he has won a championship. Ooh,

67
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: it's so excited. It's a romance, is what it is.

68
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: It's a real romance with Sam Donald. It has no limits.

69
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm determined based on a minutes long deliberation, there is

70
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: no limit to the romance of Sam Donald adall because

71
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: Seattle won and that's it. So it's been a slabber

72
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: slaber slaver slaber slaber slaberfest. And so even our guy

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: Fried Daddy, who's a longtime member of the Mallard Militia,

74
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: sworn in member of the Mallard Militia. Fried Daddy, who's

75
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: a proud Eagle fan from the heart of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, PA,

76
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: the capital right there in the middle of Pennsylvania. Very

77
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: proud man, loves the birds, and even he has been

78
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: drinking the kool aid when it comes to Sam Donald

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: sent me a message that he would rather have Sam

80
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: Darnald over Jalen Hurts. That's what he's Yeah, And by

81
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: the way, he's not alone, he's not a loan. So

82
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: let's let's stop right there. With the pause button. Good

83
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: jumping off point, and let us discuss the question. Let's

84
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: make this a multiple choice question. So the multiple choice question,

85
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: would you rather have a Jalen Hurts of the Eagles

86
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: or b Sam Donald of the twenty twenty five into

87
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six Seattle Seahawks. What is your verdict on that?

88
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: All right? So I've got party trick, farm to plate

89
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and halo effect, and we will combine all of these

90
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: things together and we are gonna put the biscuit in

91
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: the basket, is what we're going to do. So A,

92
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: am I gonna take the letter A? No? Am I

93
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: gonna take the letter beaten? No surprise. I'm going with

94
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: options see on the multiple choice option see is none

95
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: of the above. Now, why why am I going tone

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: the above? Because both these guys are bus riders. They're

97
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: not driving the bus. They're not. They're not like our

98
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: guy Roberto who quit the life of radio for the

99
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: celebrity life of being a bus dropper. They are not.

100
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: They're not driving the bus. However, if you put a

101
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: gun to my head, I would be upset by that.

102
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Don't do that. But if you put a gun to

103
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: my head and I had to pick, you gotta pick

104
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: one that gun to the head. I'm going with Jalen Hurts.

105
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I would take Jalen Hurts over Sam Donald. And here's why.

106
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Side by side the blind Pepsi challenge, there is one

107
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: thing and one thing only that Jalen Hurts does at

108
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: a truly elite level that Sam Donald cannot even get

109
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: close to. And every man, woman and child that's paid

110
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: a attention to football the last couple years knows this,

111
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: all right. The reality is that the one elite skill,

112
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: the one elite skill there touch pushe god toush ay pushe.

113
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: That's it. That's his superpower, period stop. That's the cheat code.

114
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts he has a party trick and it always

115
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: works ninety five point whatever percent of the time. And

116
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: so that's that's why. And Donald isten. He's got a

117
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: lot of carry on luggage. He's got that. And Seattle

118
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: did drag him like a sofa across the finish line there,

119
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: and listen, Jalen Hurts won. Jalen Hurts did win the

120
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: MVP of his Super Bowl, and Sam Donald almost lost

121
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: out to a kicker. It was a running back who

122
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: didn't even score a touchdown, did not get in the

123
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: end zone. That's how bad Sam Donald was in the

124
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: eyes of the voters for the MVP. And so that's it.

125
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: And so Donald, listen, he hasn't sniffed that that air.

126
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: He has not. And he was a passenger. He had

127
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: a middle seat, didn't even have an aisle seat or

128
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: a windows seat. That's it. And so for me, it

129
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really change all that much. It wouldn't be all

130
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that excited if you had Sam Donald as your quarterback.

131
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: But I clearly I'm in the minority on that, based

132
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: on the prisoner of the Molmont syndrome, which is alive

133
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: and well with a lot of you idiots who love

134
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: loved Sam Donald all of a sudden. So again, if

135
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I had just on my own, I'd pick Door C.

136
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: But if you forced me to pick, I would take

137
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: between Jalen Hurts and Sam Donald. I would take Jalen Hurts.

138
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: And that's it. Now, staying in the Pacific Northwest, some

139
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: other comments that got my attention. So we had the

140
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks coach Mike McDonald who had the morning after the

141
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl conversation, and he was yapping yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

142
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: He was yapping about wide receiver Cooper Cup, and Cooper

143
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Cup did nothing amazing in the Super Bowl. The Seatows

144
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: offense was pretty blob He's kicked a lot of field goals.

145
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: So the question was about what impact is now Cooper Cup.

146
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: He won with the Rams when he was actually good

147
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: and now he sucks. But he won again with Seattle.

148
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: So the question is what does this do following another

149
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: championship Cooper Cup was a part of. And so then

150
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald got on the podium and started putting. Well,

151
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I guess he got on the point and then he

152
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: got down his knees. He wore some knee pads and

153
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: really laid into it for Cooper cups that he is

154
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: a force multiplier. He's a stud of a person and

155
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: a stud of a teammate. This should cement him in

156
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Close quote question are you on board?

157
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Are you on board with Seahawks coach Mike McDonald's claimed

158
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that Cooper Cup is now a lock for a gold jacket.

159
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Lock it up, lock it up. So my reaction here

160
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: the Seattle coach Mike McDonald out there peddling what I

161
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: call grade a farm to plate organic bologney. All right, again,

162
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: that's grade a farm to plate organic bologney. Stay off

163
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: the weed. As some have said in the past there

164
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: at McDonald I as stand to get intoxicated in this case,

165
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: not necessarily on the weed or the booze, intoxicated with

166
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: confetti and leftover gatorade things like that here. But let's

167
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: address this without being a prisoner of the moment. Cooper Cup.

168
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't hate the player. I like the player. I

169
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: like Cooper Cup. He wanted a magic carpet ride with

170
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: the Rams, and for one season he was the top

171
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: receiver in the NFL. As far as McDonald said, why

172
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: he's a stud teammate and all that stuff. Okay, well

173
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that's great. Is there a nice guy wing at the

174
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: museum there in Cannon. I don't know. Maybe they have

175
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: a wing there it says, hey, this is where all

176
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: the nice people go. Then we can have our murderers

177
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: ring where they can you know, they can have people

178
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: that were involved in some serious crimes go over to

179
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: that side. Ojy's wing and Ray Lewis, where's the white suit? Ray?

180
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: He can be on that side of the Hall of Fame.

181
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: But on the other side, we can have the nice

182
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: people and there's Cooper Cup and I don't think there

183
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: is one. Unfortunately, there is there a wing for one

184
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: hit Wonders in the NFL. Do we have a one

185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: hit Wonders wing in the NFL? We don't, Okay, all right,

186
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: So the cole Hard malor math is not in favor

187
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: of Cooper Cup. Just looking at Cooper Cup, it's not

188
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: in favor of him. And then you have just the

189
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: actual data, the Hall of Fame monitor where they track

190
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: you're based on a numerical equation whether or not you

191
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: are on the road to the Hall of Fame. So

192
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Fame receiver, it's according to

193
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: people the Pro Football Reference. A lot of nerds work

194
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: at Pro Football Reference. So according to the nerds, you

195
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: have to reach one hundred and one point seven to

196
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: get into the Hall of Fame, as at Pro Football

197
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Wide receiver one hundred and one point seven. You want

198
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: to take a guess where Cooper Cup is no cheating.

199
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: I know mister nice guy's about the cheat, so don't

200
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: do that, and Danny and Nashville's gonna cheat. Don't cheat.

201
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: The correct answer Cooper Cup is at a thirty eight.

202
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Thirty eight, all right, So I know I'm not a

203
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: math measure and I just do an overnight radio show,

204
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: so what the hell did I know? But if you're

205
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: at thirty eight, you're long in the tooth. Now how

206
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: do you close the gap? And for those of you

207
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: in the back of the room who aren't paying attention

208
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: because you're actually working, that's not even the same zip code.

209
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: That is not the same zip code. He's stuck in

210
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: the suburbs while the greats are at the Gala, and

211
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: they're at the Galla there. And so Cooper Cup his career,

212
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: like many, he was a shooting comet and it was

213
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: magical with the Rams, bright and flashy and then gone

214
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: in a blink and that's it. And for all those

215
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: they said, well, the Rams shouldn't let this guy go.

216
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: He's not that good. The RAMS have better wide receivers.

217
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: They made the right decision. They made the Cooper Cup's

218
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: not that good anymore. And he wasn't that good in

219
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. There were no game breaking plays by

220
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. That's just the reality situation. So the idea is, well,

221
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: the Rams shouldn't have got rid of Cooper Cup. No,

222
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: they were right. He's not very good. That's it. And

223
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: his career comps Cooper Cup not exactly Randy Moss or

224
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: t O or Jerry Rice, more like Willie Golt and

225
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: Darryl Jackson if you remember him. So solid. Yeah, okay, good,

226
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: good run there for a couple of years. Gold jacket,

227
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: that's for Gayzy's what that is. That's for Gazy. So

228
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the mal are verdict again, super is a team achievement. Oh,

229
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: you shouldn't say that. It's a team achievement. It's not

230
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: a lifetime accomplishment. It's like, yes, cool to have it,

231
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: but you don't have to have it. Hall of Fame's

232
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: individual greatness. So stop sniffing, sniffing the smelling salts, Mike

233
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: McDonald please. Yeah. So as a resume, there's a few

234
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: holes there. It's like certain types of Swiss cheese have

235
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: the holes there. Meanwhile, we go now to La La

236
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Land in the hood and Ingleood and up to no good.

237
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: The team that should be in San Diego has made

238
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: a move, as we have learned that Adam Gase crazy

239
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Eyes is back in the NFL. And how sweet it

240
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: is if you didn't see this Adam Gase. Yeah, the

241
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: same guy that had the crazy eyes with the Jets

242
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: and then proved he couldn't coach with the Miami Dolphins.

243
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: So sucked with two AFC East teams and has been

244
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: embargoed out of the NFL for years. He is back

245
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: his first coaching gig in five years. He was so bad?

246
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: How bad was he?

247
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: He was so bad, Adam Gase, that he had to

248
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: sit out five years, five years to get another job. Now.

249
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh clearly has a soft spot in his heart

250
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: for failed coaches, and he hired Adam to join his

251
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: coaching staff there as a passing game coordinator. That sounds

252
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: like a no show job, all right. So question based

253
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: on the resume. Based on the resume, how did Adam

254
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: Gaze leave the no fly list? Because he was on

255
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: the no fly list for coaching gigs and returned to

256
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: NFL coaching with the Chargers. So Adam Gase, former Jets

257
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: and Dolphins coach, finessed his way, that's my word, finessed

258
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: his way back into the NFL using the halo effect.

259
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't work for the Angels in baseball. It does

260
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: work though, just being in the room with someone that's good.

261
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: And then they elevate you. They elevate you the halo effect.

262
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: Er go, he happened to be in the room when

263
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning was on the good stuff from his wife

264
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: there according to the Dark Side documentary, and was lighting

265
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: the scoreboard up for the Denver Broncos in twenty thirteen.

266
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: The Peyton Manning halo effect, which I know we are

267
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: thirteen years gone by that, and yet still that's something

268
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: case is the ultimate beneficiary of the coached a legend rule,

269
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,479
Speaker 1: coached a legend rule in the NFL twenty thirteen Broncos.

270
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: They said, all kinds of records. I don't know if

271
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: those have been broken. I don't think they have in

272
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: terms of points scored and all that pass yards, et cetera.

273
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 4: Et cetera.

274
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: So even if even if Peyton was basically the coach

275
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: on the field and the resume line still works, it's

276
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: pure solid gold, still solid gold. And for a guy

277
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: like Harball's, although I would argue this is not so

278
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: much Jim Harbaugh, that this is not about trying to

279
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: pump up Justin Herbert, who's a lost puppy. When the

280
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: playoffs come around here, it's uh, you sad out. You

281
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: had the deed talks for five years. Adam Gaze, he

282
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: sat out for five years in NFL circles, five years

283
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: is again it's an internity. Five seasons have come and

284
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: gone without Adam Gaston. He was getting paid buco bucks

285
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: by these teams that were stupid enough to hire him

286
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: as a head coach. And that stanks. Ye, that's not

287
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: even even that not long. That stank from that two

288
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: and fourteen JET season. That does not just dissipate even

289
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: after five years here. So some clearly somebody with the

290
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: Chargers like, well, he's been rehabilitated now, Adam Gas and

291
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so it's a mix of tapping

292
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: in to a favor the good old boys network gob

293
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: and then that's the final piece with the halo effect

294
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Here. So the Chargers new offensive quarter Mike McDaniel,

295
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: and he he's the guy Harbaugh just took off the

296
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: scrap heat from Miami. And you got Adam Gazon McDonald

297
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: who are or McDaniel rather, who are inter connected here.

298
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: They're locked together like legos in the coaching web. And

299
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: Harbaugh's essentially what he's doing now, it would appear the

300
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Chargers are running a support group for former Miami Dolphin

301
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: head coaches in LA. You're a former dolphin coach, you

302
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: can head up there, and I mean there's a lot

303
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: of former dolphin coach. If Brian Flores like he's we're

304
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, but if he wants to come, they're having

305
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: a group group meeting there. Support group for former Dolphin

306
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: head coaches.

307

Speaker 1: the games beginning, not the Olympic Games. No, no, no, no.

355
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: Now that that little pesky Super Bowl, which was a

356
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: dud is over with. Let the game beginning, the silly season,

357
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: the silly season. The chatter continuing for the second time

358
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. More noise coming out

359
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: of lost wages, Nevada, a kocoffney of sounds coming out

360
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: of Vegas. If you've not been following the story, perhaps not.

361
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: We've learned now yet again that edge rusher Max Crosby,

362
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: Mad Max Max Crosby, the man born to play for

363
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: the silver and black of pirate's life for me. Max

364
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Crosby weapon he's not happy, and it has been repeated

365
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: that he face to face told Tom Brady good old

366
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: skinny jeans Tom Brady there, that he wishes to leave

367
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Max Crosby does not want to be part

368
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: of the Raiders organization anymore. We report last a couple

369
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: of days here saying that Max Crosby told old Tom

370
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: Brady he will never play for the Raiders again from

371
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: an unnamed GM. An unnamed GM, that is a fact.

372
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: He told them that he will retire before he ever

373
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: plays for them again. Max Crosby supposedly telling the Raiders

374
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm out suckers, seel it. I had that part, but

375
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: the quote says, I'm not sure they're actually going to

376
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: trade him, they being the Raiders. Miles Garrett said the

377
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 1: same thing last year. We know how that ended up.

378
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us

379
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: discuss the question what are the odds? What are the

380
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: odds that Max Crosby, the Raiders star edge rusher Max

381
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: Crosby ends up changing laundry this offseason. So my observations,

382
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: I've got marketing slogan, Disney storytelling, and Hogi Shop, and

383
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we're

384
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: gonna go one, two, three, and ab so is what

385
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: we're going to do. But we always start out with

386
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: number one. All right, So we own up the Mallor

387
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: Sports Book. Now I'm not associated with DraftKings or any

388
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: other legitimate gambling operation. This is the Malor Sports Book

389
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: and the Mallard Sportsbook. Gods, we have Max Crosby wearing

390
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: different laundry, changing laundry this offseason at minus one eighty,

391
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: minus one eighty the mallarods minus one eighty, that implies

392
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: a sixty five percent chance that he is gone. Gee

393
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: oh and eight gone Max Crosby. It's the part of

394
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: the movie where they're doing the saber dance. Right now,

395
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: they're saber rattling Max Crosby and his group. It's the

396
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: silly season. It's silly. It's the silly season of the NFL.

397
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: So this is where you see those cryptic message that

398
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: get sent out on social media that he said, he said,

399
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: which are great for talk radio. They keep the VU

400
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: meter moving on talk radio. It's wonderful. So Crosby and

401
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: his guys are rattling the cage, if you will, rattling

402
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: the cage because he is Dny, all right. So he's

403
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: out and he's done. And he's also done with the

404
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: updated marketing slogan. And I don't know how this thing

405
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: got improved. I'm not sure what ad firm the Raiders use.

406
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I'm getting old, But when

407
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: I was a kid, the Raiders always went with the

408
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: commitment of excellence. And somewhere along the way when they

409
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: moved to Oakland into Vegas, they changed it up. And

410
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: now the commitment to excrement doesn't have the same ring

411
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: to it. But that's what the Raiders have done since

412
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: they were really twenty years plus, twenty years plus the

413
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: rich Gannon super Bowl where Barrett Robbins went to Tijuana

414
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: to enjoy some nice shows and whatever else he was doing,

415
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: and that whole thing. But it has been the commitment

416
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: to excrement for the Raiders. There pure organic excrement. And

417
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is right now. And so

418
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: it's a vast wasteland, a dystopian world there in the desert.

419
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: You've got Tom Brady who's quote running things but doesn't

420
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: want the title as the GM. So he hired a

421
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: buddy of his old college buddy to be the GM

422
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: there from and he's running the Raiders from, understand, from

423
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: his home in Miami, the Miami area, or the home

424
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: he's got in La or the place in Boston, or

425
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: northern California, anywhere he wants to be. The south of France.

426
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: He's running the Miami Dolphin Miami, running the Raiders from Miami,

427
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: although he did at one point want to run the Dolphins. Meanwhile,

428
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: you've got he Tom Brady and his bff, Alex Guerrero.

429
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: The con artist Alex Guerrero, not my opinion, it's a fact.

430
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: He was convicted of it, roaming the halls in a well.

431
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: He's like the wellness ghost, Alex Guerrero, and he's haunting whoa, whoa. So,

432
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: if I'm Max Crosby, If I'm Max Crosby, i am

433
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: looking around. I'm saying the Patriots they need some help

434
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: on the defense was pretty good, but they could use

435
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: some more help there. You look around and say, would

436
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders trade me to an AFC team? They certainly

437
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't trade you to an AFC West team. So you

438
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: can eliminate the Chiefs or your Max Crosby. What about

439
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: the Ravens or Buffalo or how about in the NFC

440
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: the Lions of the Rams one of those teams. So

441
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: what about that? Anyone with a pulse? Anybody want Max Crosby?

442
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Does anyone want Mad Max there? And what about the Raiders?

443
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: They've got the number one pick coming in there. Oh,

444
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: it's so exciting. Fernando Mendoza, the new Messiah, the new

445
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: Savior of the Raiders, the old Hoosier. Yeah, appears that

446
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: that is not enough. Max Crosby has seen the highlight reel,

447
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: the sizzle reel of Fernando Mendoza, and it's clearly not impressed.

448
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: He still wants to go to divorce court there and

449
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: Vegas is shopping to see right now what they can

450
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: get in return. And we're just beginning the silly season today,

451
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: the tenth day of February. As we're doing this in

452
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: real time. So we have the franchise tag period which

453
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: is upcoming here the next couple of weeks in February.

454
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Then we've got the free agency, first wave of free

455
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: agency in March, always a fan favorite. And then we

456
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: have the combines which will be in March and the

457
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: lead up to the NFL Draft in April, all blocks,

458
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: building blocks on the silly season in the NFL. Now

459
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: page two, staying in Nevada, staying in the desert. There,

460
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders did make it official they welcome the Seahawks

461
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak, the latest NEPO baby to get

462
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: a head coaching job in the NFL. And they posted

463
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: a twenty one second video clip of his family, Clint

464
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: Kubiak and he planing on a private plane because God forbid,

465
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: you fly Southwest Airlines private plane in Vegas, all dotting

466
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: the Raider gear, which can be getting. You can get

467
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: that stuff now at a discount store anyway. They have

468
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: the desert backdrop there and right oh, the arrival. Now

469
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders are Now it's serious. Now, it's serious. So

470
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: Kubiak thirty eight. He landed just hours after the Seattle

471
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense won the championship, not the offense, the defense.

472
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: You don't win championships on field goals. You went on

473
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: defense in this case. And so super Bowl six he

474
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: goes the way of Seattle and the announcement, the post

475
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: on social media, all that stuff, and that's where we are.

476
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: So the question, what is your early assessment? What is

477
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: your early assessment on Tom Brady's vision? Oh, what a

478
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: vision it is. Tom Brady with Clint Kubiak, who he

479
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: slobbered all over was ill legal on the Bible belt.

480
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: What Tom Brady was saying about Kubiak on the broadcast

481
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: is when heed the Seahawks forty nine er or a

482
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: RAM game? Actually a Ram game anyway? So what is

483
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: your assessment of tom Brady's vision with the former now

484
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks offensive when air Clint Kubiak now in charge with

485
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders? So vague? If you're a fan of the Raiders,

486
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: and most of the people that have season tickets to

487
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders just do that for financial gain because you

488
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: can sell the tickets to fans of other teams and

489
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: they'll buy them, and so maybe you go to one

490
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: game a year and you make some money on the

491
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: other ones and all that stuff. But if you're a

492
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: real Raider fan, you should be petrified, terrified and zombie

493
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: fied at this particular point. In honor of the late

494
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: great Brian Wheeler Boom Shaka Laca, the Portland Trailblazer's broadcaster

495
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: of years gone by, But this is paranoia is what

496
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: this is, right, This is a it's pattern recognition. At

497
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: this point, we are now at pattern rec cognition is

498
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: where we are Tom Brady the puppeteer behind the curtain,

499
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: and you look at this and then he's like, well,

500
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's essentially telling the Raider fans trust me brawl,

501
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: trust me brawl. That's the message from Tom Brady because

502
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: you just hired a coach, you just picked a quarterback

503
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: a year ago, and they were two of the worst.

504
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and Gino Smith and Raider Nation, where have

505
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: you gone? Their lonely eyes, they pretty much roll their

506
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: eyes at this particular point, they roll their eyes and said,

507
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: we've heard that before. We've heard that one before. It

508
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: appears to Tom Brady's a big fan of the Disney

509
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: storytelling though, and the Raiders in general love the fairy tale.

510
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: You don't think of the Raiders as a franchise that

511
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: would embrace the fairy tale. But this feels like the

512
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: Princess and the frog right that you have. You know,

513
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: in Vegas, you have to keep kissing toads and you're

514
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: waiting for Prince Charming to show up, and it's not

515
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: happening and since twenty twenty one, when the Raiders were

516
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: forced to get rid of John Gruden because of a

517
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: strategic dump to the New York Times in the Wall

518
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Street Journal by someone some mystery person at the NFL.

519
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: So Gruden got whacked. Then they had Rich Basakia, the

520
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: special Teams coach, but they didn't want him around, so

521
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: they hired Josh McDaniels. Because they wanted a guy that

522
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: sucks as the head coach. They hired Josh McDaniels. He

523
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: sucked as a head coach as the promotion for his work.

524
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: And then they hired Antonio Pierce who was born to

525
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: be a Raider until they had to coach games, and

526
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: then he sucked. And then lately it's been Pete Carroll

527
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: and now it's this Jackwagon who comes in from Seattle

528
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: that is not exactly a vision board.

529
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: It is not.

530
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: It's like a yard sale type thing. It's like, hey,

531
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: you want this how much? I don't know what's your

532
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: best offer? Two bucks? Okay, you got that two bucks

533
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: right there. Done So. Clint Kubiak, who will be the

534
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: latest head coach to get the baptism by fire, hired

535
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: as a sink or swim option and he gets a

536
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: five year contract. So this is an a one of

537
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: these guys gonna suck and then get paid out for

538
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: at least three years. And you got a rookie quarterback

539
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: on the way, what could possibly go wrong? Rookie coach

540
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: as a head coach, and a rookie quarterback in Fernando Mendoza,

541
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: the stop Watch, the doomsday clock, tic tic tic tic

542
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic

543
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: tic tic dick, just like that. And so don't be shocked.

544
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: The word that I'm hearing from reliable or unreliable sources

545
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: is that Gary Kubiak will parachute in. That's the daddy,

546
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: and he will be the adult in the room, going

547
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: to hire your dad to help you out. That's the

548
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: new trend in the NFL. Worked out so well in

549
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: Nashville when the Titans hired Bill Callahan to babysit Brian

550
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Callahan and then they're all gone. Now see you later

551
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: on that the father son football combo in the NFL,

552
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: because apparently experience is hereditary. Now, oh, I guess that's

553
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: the way this works here. It's the NEPO baby way. Oh,

554
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: the NEPO baby way. It's organizational roulette, and the Raiders

555
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: are betting on green, not zero green double zero. That's

556
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: where the Raiders are betty. Meanwhile, we go back to

557
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the losing locker room, the New England

558
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: side of things. Here. After his historically historically bad performance

559
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: on the big stage, the Patriots top draft pick from

560
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: the previous NFL draft to first round pick, top ten pick,

561
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: decided that he was too good to answer any questions,

562
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: and this has created a bit of a firestorm. So

563
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: the question Patriots first round pick offensive tackle Will Campbell

564
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: leave from baton rouge. So will Campbell declining to speak

565
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: to the media after a very rough outing at Super

566
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: Bowl sixty? What is your position on this? So we

567
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: watched Will Campbell who had one of the worst performances

568
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: ever for an offensive lineman, although he wasn't helped out

569
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: by Drake May who appeared to forget how to get

570
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: rid of the football and a rapid amount of time. Anyway,

571
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: the point is that if you look at the NERD stats,

572
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: Will Campbell allowed fourteen pressures. That is not blocking much

573
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: of anything. In fact, if you look at the numbers,

574
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: that is the worst performance since the NERD takeover in

575
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's like a revolving door at a like

576
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: a Macy's back of the day there and what are

577
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: you doing? And so Will Campbell does he answer any questions?

578
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: Does you say, well, this is what happened, that's what No, no, no,

579
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: he ducked out from the media. I have nothing to say.

580
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: He slinked out the back door of the locker room

581
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: and like a thief in the night and said, I'm

582
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: out of here. See later, suckers. Because he is softy mixed,

583
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: soft is what he is. And so we advise, now

584
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: Will Campbell should open up his own Hogi shop and

585
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: forget the turkey or the pastrami, the corned beef sandwich. No, no, no,

586
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: Will Campbell should sell one sandwich and one sandwich only

587
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: based on his performance in the Super Bowl. The fluffer

588
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Nutter sandwich. That's it. Have you ever had a fluffer

589
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: Nutter sandwich? You've not, Well if you watched the performance

590
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: of Will Campbell. He served up a fluffer Nutter sandwich

591
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. That's the one I believe with

592
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: the marshmallow fluff is the fluffer Nutter And then got

593
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: peanut butter on one side. And you got the marshmallow fluff

594
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: stuff on the other side. And that's it. And then

595
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: he did the double vanishing actors because not only during

596
00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: the game, but he then left after so zero accountability,

597
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: no accountability, just a total vanishing act from Will Campbell there,

598
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: not only during the game and then leaving after the

599
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: game and not not saying anything. So accountability is a

600
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a big deal in that business. It's

601
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: a big deal, and not even most businesses, it is

602
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: a big deal. Like every once in a while, we

603
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: go on the air and we bomb for four hours,

604
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: four hours. We just absolutely drop a bomb on you,

605
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: just terrible, and we're not hiding in the bathroom sucking

606
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: our thumb in the fetal position. We come back and

607
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: do it again the next day. And that's how that works.

608
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 1: And that's it. And you take the good, you take

609
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: the bad, and that's how it works. And if you're

610
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: Will Campbell, you go out, you get pulverized, which he did.

611
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: And then you refuse to answer some questions, well, all

612
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: you have to do is say a bunch of cliches

613
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: and everyone's fine with that. No one says they want

614
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: legitimate answers. They just want you to play the game.

615
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: It's all sauce. It's weak sauce, it's all of that.

00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: It's Mallard. They got the end to the third degree.

619
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: This is one big Ben gets grail Kopalu.

620
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 4: Aj Brown appeared on MICHAEH.

621
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: Parsons podcast over the weekend and said that he is

622
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 3: excited to play in the eagles new offense. Ben, do

623
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: you expect a bounce back season from him?

624
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: Well, he's saying that, but the silly season is just

625
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: beginning here, Coop. I think there's a better chance that

626
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles actually do end up trading aj Brown between

627
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: now and right before the NFL Draft. I'd be surprised

628
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: if he's back. He's caused problems the last couple years.

629
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: They were able to overcome it and win the Super Bowl.

630
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is still there. His issue seems to be

631
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts, So good luck on that. I say

632
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: no on the bounce back, at least not in an

633
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: Eagle uniform.

634
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: Next, it was reported this weekend that Derek Carr could

635
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 3: make a comeback if presented with the right situation and

636
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: coaching staff, Ben, do you think the right situation and

637
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 3: coaching staff will present itself?

638
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: No, that didn't. The Bengals content Derek Carr and say hey,

639
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: you want to play for the and the Colts contacted

640
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 1: him and said hey, you want to play for the Colts.

641
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: He said no. And at the time, Indianapolis was a

642
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: playoff team when Daniel Jones Danny Dimes got hurt and

643
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: the Bengals were still in contention. At the time Burrow

644
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 1: got hurt, there was some math that could make the play.

645
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: So I don't believe he wants to play. If he

646
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: wanted to play, why would you not come back last

647
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: year and take one of those opportunities and chat a

648
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: cherry pick a team that's better. And why would the

649
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: like Sumba said that he'll go back to the Raiders,

650
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: why would the Raiders want him back next?

651
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,919
Speaker 3: The Pirates have signed Marcelo Zuna to a one year,

652
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: twelve million.

653
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: Dollars time the women at CHLDRED.

654
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 3: That's right, Dad, it's in an offseason that sees Pittsburgh

655
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: actually spending money on the roster. And do you think

656
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 3: they can make a playoff push while Paul Skeins is

657
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 3: in his mind.

658
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I have a crystal ball. I'm never wrong about these things, Coop. So,

659
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: the Pirates did sign Marcelo Zuna, and he's going to

660
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: be on the team until July thirtieth or thirty first,

661
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: to trade dead line whenever that is. And they're counting

662
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: on Ozuna hitting a bunch of boppers, being a big

663
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: bopper there in Pittsburgh, and then right around the trade

664
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: deadline they will flip him for some low level pitcher

665
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: who will never make it in the major leagues. That's

666
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,479
Speaker 1: the Pirates plan. They're not actually trying to win. They're

667
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: not anyway there. It is Mallard to the third degree.

668
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: How did we do?

669
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,720
