That's a long time to talk in the 33 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: darkness in the void here late at night, but we 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: will attempt to do that take you to the early 35 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: morning hours here on a smooth flight. But our lead 36 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: this hour from the coaching carousel, round and round and 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: round and round round. Yeah, it's always good content when 38 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: you're a struggling, fledgling overnight gas bag to do some 39 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: coaching carousel talk. But this story is it's good. It's 40 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: a good story. So I like talking about good stories. 41 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: So the story out of Baltimore still has legs. We've 42 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: had some new developments in the Baltimore Ravens excommunicating John Harbaugh, 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: and we're hearing that that Harbaugh he's not going to 44 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: interview today or tomorrow or the next day. In fact, 45 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: he's expected to sit it out until after the weekend, 46 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: which is a savvy move. More on that in a minute. 47 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: And the other story, which is quite detail. See if 48 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you believe it or not. Perhaps you don't, maybe you've 49 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: heard about it. I don't know. There's chatter, and we 50 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: know I love my chatter. That John Harbaugh could that's 51 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: a weasel word, could land a contract in the neighborhood. 52 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: Of one hundred million dollars. I know, right, Come on, 53 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 4: now he's good? 54 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: Is he? 55 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: That good? One hundred million dollar pyramid for John Harbaugh? 56 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: That noise coming out of northern Ohio, much to the 57 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: dismay of our caller Dick from Dayton, who's upset because 58 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: he wants Bill Belichick to go coach the Browns. Well, 59 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: the noise is that owner Jimmy Haslam, the truck stop guy, 60 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: is a smitten kitten and he loves to blow money. 61 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, ask the creepy quarterback to 62 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. Now, John Harbaugh may may get what in 63 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: NFL parlance is called the John Gruden deal. So that 64 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: means ten years, one hundred million dollars, which is a 65 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: good jumping off point, So let us discuss the question. 66 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Would now former Baltimore coach John Harbaugh coach the Browns 67 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: for one hundred million dollars? So my thoughts on this, 68 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: I've got drive through at Mickey D's dueling Pianos and 69 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby and we'll throw all of these ingredients into 70 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: the air fryer and we're gonna make some pastrami fries 71 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: because that sounds pretty good. So a to answer the question, 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: would John Harbaugh take one hundred million dollars from Cleveland police? 73 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: This is not complicated, This is not hard. This is 74 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: two plus two is what this is. We're not doing algebra, 75 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: we're not doing calculus here. You don't have to be 76 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: a rocket scientist to figure this out. And I don't 77 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: care how many purple sweaters Harball owns. And one hundred 78 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: million dollars, that's the Godfather off. You don't turn down 79 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: the Godfather off. Fact, that's not a contract, that's a 80 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: suitcase with a blinking red light on it. And I 81 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: know as I've gotten I learned this years ago. But 82 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: everyone's got a price, and whatever you say, you won't 83 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: do If the dollar figure is big enough, you'll do it. Everybody. 84 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: So my opinion, it's the law of the land. I 85 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: learned this. There was a book called The Magic Christian, 86 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: not a religious book. But back in the day, they 87 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: made a movie. It was terrible. I should remake that. 88 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't really make good movies anymore, but that could 89 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: be a really solid movie. Anyway. It's just human behavior, 90 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: just watching human behavior. And we know this as a 91 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: universal truth. Every man, woman and child knows that nobody 92 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: wants to coach the Browns. Its football purgatory is what 93 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: it is. However, for one hundred million dollars, you don't walk. 94 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: You sprint to the docu sign in tap shoes and 95 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: you have your jazz hands, and that's what you do. 96 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: That is a trip to the drive through at Mickey D's. 97 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: That is the ultimate happy meal with extra thick golden arches. 98 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: If you know what I'm saying. It doesn't whisper, it screams. 99 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: And Jimmy haslm we know he can afford it. All 100 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: these owners are aristocrats and all that, but Jimmy Haslam 101 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: is swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck. Plus hardball would 102 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: get to haunt Baltimore twice a year, or the Ravens 103 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: could haunt him. Either way, it's a good storyline. However, 104 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: here's the fly in the ointment to turn in the 105 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: punch Bowl Harball. John Harball wants to get back and 106 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: win another Super Bowl if he wants to get another ring, 107 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: and he's got to turn down the money, which is 108 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to do. Say, it's a hard thing 109 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: to do to turn down that money. And you wait. 110 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I like the fact that he's waiting. He's taking the 111 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Malard council. Clearly we gave advice. We gave a sermon 112 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: yesterday about this in a previous episode of the show. 113 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: And the move here as career counselor is to just wait, 114 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: wait for the playoff choke jobs to start coming in, 115 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: and then cherry pick what job you want. Green Bay 116 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: Packers lose to the Bears, does that job open up? 117 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills go down in Jacksonville. Then all of 118 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Bills need a new head coach, So 119 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: you go there, does that job open up? Who else? 120 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: Around the end? But what are the gigs and teams 121 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: that are going to lose on wild card weekend, What 122 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: are their jobs open up. There'll be a couple, there'll 123 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: be a couple at least that consider firing their coaches. 124 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: So the balls in your court, right, the balls in 125 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: your court at that particular point. Now, the second part 126 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: of this page two, the Ravens Drama Hour continues. We 127 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: love the drama, O rama, and there's a lot of 128 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: it around the Ravens. So there's conflicting reports on why 129 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: exactly John Harbaugh was whacked as coach of the Ravens. 130 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: The popular opinion by popular people, which was promoted by 131 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: the state sponsored prov the news service of the NFL, 132 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: was that Harbaugh had launcht the locker room. Now we 133 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: have insider on insider crime here, Adam Schefter, Shefty. A 134 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: lot of you don't know this, but when Fox Sports 135 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: Radio started, Adam Schefter was a contributor to Fox Sports Radio. 136 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever happened to him anyway, He refuted, 137 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: He refuted the NFL networks in rappaport and his report 138 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: that John Harbor had lost the Ravens locker room said 139 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: that couldn't be further from the truth. The question, you've 140 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: got these dueling, conflicting reports here on John Harball losing 141 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: the locker room. Where is the truth? All right? So 142 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: I've done a minutes long mallar investigation, and this is 143 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: dueling pianos in a hotel lobby at just after two 144 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: in the morning, and everybody's completely schnockered. They're drunk. No 145 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: one's listening. One guy's playing Heartbreak Hotel. Oh, what a 146 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: sob story. The other guy's banging out Kumbaya. Schefter basically 147 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: said a report couldn't be more wrong. Players were crying, hugging, sobbing, 148 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: like John Harball was just shipped off to war. Of course, 149 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: if you go to Cleveland you could argue that's the 150 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: football version of that anyway. So where's the truth? The 151 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: truth lies in the void. It lives in the void 152 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: between the press releases and the leagues. And this based 153 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: on years of dealing with these kinds of stories. It 154 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: just my horse sense tells me that it's water carrying. 155 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: You've got Ian Rappaport from the state sponsored news service 156 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: of the NFL pushing the ownership narrative, making the owners 157 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: in Baltimore look good. Listen, we had no choice. We 158 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: had to do a clean break. We had to do it. 159 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: We have no blood on our hands. The players just 160 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: didn't listen anymore. We had to get rid of John Harball, 161 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: had to do it. And then you've got Schefter and 162 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: he's writing Shotgun with John Harbaugh. He's handing out tissues 163 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: and violins. And of course we do know also that 164 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: losing the locker room does not mean losing every single play, 165 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: all fifty three players on your active roster. It means one. 166 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: It means when what we've talked about, if Lamar Jackson 167 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean run this by see which I mean nod 168 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: or shake your head. No, if Lamar Jackson was the 169 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: player that isn't buying John Harbaugh, and there was some 170 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: testy comments that were parsed during the season, whatnot. If 171 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: that's the case, the closed, the store is closed, right, 172 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, the end of discussion. So not 173 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: a mutiny, not a mutiny on the Baltimore Bounty. More 174 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: like a bad smell. And it's one of those things. 175 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: It's like, it's great for talk radio because nobody can 176 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: prove it, no one's gonna cop to it, right, and 177 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: everyone's blaming the fridge. But whether that's smell, I don't 178 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: know what's smell is what. I don't what is that? Well, 179 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's got to be the frig. Well 180 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's not the fridge. It may something else and 181 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, last word, we quickly go 182 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: to the NFL playoffs. We sidestep our way to Chicago, 183 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: where ya Femi and Tree and all the boys Eugene 184 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: in Chicago, all fired off as the Bears have a 185 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: home playoff game this weekend Green Bay Packers, and the 186 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: storyline here Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and coach Ben Johnson 187 00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: in agreement with glowing commentary that Caleb Williams is for 188 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: these moments. So the question, Kayla Williams and Ben Johnson 189 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: both in lockstep, about how prepared Caleb Williams is for 190 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: these big playoff games, big postseason moments. Are you on 191 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: board with this? So? Absolutely not. I am not buying 192 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: the hype package. I've never been the guy to buy 193 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: the hype package. I'm not buying it now. The glossy brochure, 194 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: the hey, you know, sign the deal here and you 195 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: can stay in Hawaii for a week a year and 196 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: go to Florida. You know, it's that scam. No, I 197 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: don't I'm not believing the brochure or the pregame perfume 198 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: or any of it. Here's why, all right, you don't 199 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: tell me that you're built for these moments. Go out 200 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: and show me. Go out and dominate the Green Bay Packers. 201 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: Go out and win the game and make the big plays, 202 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: and then you don't have to tell me. I'll see it. 203 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't need some kind of ted talk about how 204 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: prepared where Caleb Williams is and all that. It's it's 205 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: kind of like the Kentucky Derby, right, Caleb Williams is 206 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: the thoroughbred everyone's been hyping up and they say, look 207 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: look at how nice his nails are. Everyone keeps calling 208 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams. Oh, he's like secretariat, Oh, generational quarterback. We've 209 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: seen this a lot over the years. These guys get 210 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: hyped up. However, the gates haven't even opened up yet. 211 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: They haven't opened up yet, And you don't get roses 212 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: for warm ups and the exhibition game, which is the 213 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: regular season and for most teams that are trying to 214 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: that have ambitions of winning championship, trying to win a championship, 215 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: and right now he's still learning where the rail is right, 216 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: is at the derby trying to figure out now the 217 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: advanced numbers. They're not that kind the killer. Who are 218 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: you talking about? The birds of a great record? What 219 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: are you doing? 220 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: Him? 221 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Going out? Condown? Right, Colm down, I'm just going by 222 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: the nerd stats. They say that he still holds the 223 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: ball too long, that he drifts into trouble, and that 224 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: there are stretches where Caleb Williams the engine flat out sputters. 225 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: And you can't say that. Listen, when you win a lot, 226 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: that stuff goes away. People don't talk about that stuff. Right, 227 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it's not there. And so it looks 228 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: more like a prototype than a finished product. That the 229 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: winds are great and all that you need receipts. We 230 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: need receipts, right, we need a blood desk. Got to 231 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: crack open the old DNA this weekend. And even if 232 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: you play well this weekend, right still said, well, that's 233 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: just wildcard weekend all. But is there actually a postseason 234 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: clutch genie there It does cut a little different or 235 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: is this just a bunch of coach speak for breeze, 236 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: as we like to say, sprayed over reality. Right, you're 237 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: covering up the smell, and I used to get used 238 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: to be a guy that worked at Fox Sports ready 239 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: years ago as an ex athlete, a prominent person in sports, 240 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: and became I'm a person in sports media. After he left, 241 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: of course the company, and he would go work out. 242 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: He wouldn't shower and uh, and he come, there's a gym. 243 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: There's a gym right across the street, twenty four hour 244 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: gym across the street from Foxporths. The guy we go 245 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and he would do his thing whatever, work out. He 246 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: would shower and I said, well, just shower. What he 247 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: would do is he'd just spray a bunch of cologne 248 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: so he'd cover up the smell. Uh. And that was 249 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: his mooking. I guess he didn't like showering there whatever. 250 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: But so it's like, it's not, go, are you just 251 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: spraying cologne or for breeze covering up the reality of 252 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: the situation. The Bears took a giant step forward this season. 253 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm not debating that. There's no debate they actually work 254 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: competitive at the end. They got off to a slow start, 255 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: won a bunch of games, and that's great new coach, right, 256 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: and they brought some excitement back to Chicago was a 257 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: better product than a lucky Tony's very excited about that. 258 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: It's shinier wrapping paper. It absolutely is. However, Christmas morning, 259 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: that's the That's the thing that decides everything right, that's 260 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: the And if Caleb hops on the vomit comment in 261 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: a big mallment, all of this success.

The Eagles 334 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: have won eight of the nine games, including the NFC 335 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: Championship game. So that's a good jumping off point. Let 336 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: us discuss question. Are you gonna go thumbs up? Are 337 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: you gonna go thumbs down? Thumbs up? Thumbs down on 338 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: the tinfoil hat crowd calling out NFL bias with official 339 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: Alan Eck and when he calls Eagles game, so Eagles game. 340 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: So my observations, I got jumbo sized Kodak moments and 341 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: New World Order, and we'll put all of these things 342 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: together and put the biscuit in the basket. Now number, 343 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: what number is it? Number? That's right? All right? So, uh, 344 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: this is not a kwinkie dick. It is not. There's 345 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: a pattern, and it's wearing the zebra uniform. Now, now 346 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: some carrying the water for the NFL. Or listen, dude, 347 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: it's not. Everything's a conspiracy. It's just a small sample size. 348 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: And to that, I say, gobbledee gook with a capital G. Please, 349 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: So let's do some Malor math. We love Malard math, 350 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: So say nine games, small sample size, doesn't matter. That 351 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: is nim rod thinking. That makes play. Why one NFL 352 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: game is worth ten Major League Baseball games? One NFL 353 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: games worth ten Major League Baseball games. That means that 354 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: this is ninety games. Ninety games. That's a reality check, right, 355 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: and the Eagles in that ninety game stretch have an 356 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: eight eighty nine winning percentage. So forget M and M. Right, 357 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: this is the real slim shady, the real slim shitty, 358 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: a subliminal message hiding in playing sight, it would appear. 359 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: And this is jumbo size tubris from Roger Goodell. Protect 360 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: the shield that all costs. Wait, he's starting for intrugrity 361 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: of the game. Well, on this one, the NFL went 362 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: down to Adam Silver's office at the NBA headquarters over 363 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: I think on Fifth Avenue, and said, hey, can we 364 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: get that old dusty book in the back that David 365 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Stern that Shore We could do that? Why not? Well, 366 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: that's the NBA playbook, That's what this is. This guy 367 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: Eck is the pig skin version of Scott Foster, the 368 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: extender Scott Foster. Now, if avoiding hometown refs is all 369 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: you have to do, like, it's just an easy fix 370 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: right now, even if there's nothing going if everything is kosher, 371 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: there's nothing funny going on here, everything's all right, Like, 372 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: just why would you even bother having him? There's other 373 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: playoff games. You don't have to assign him to this 374 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: particular game. Why not just do it? Well, they won't 375 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: do it because the league clearly they broke their nose. 376 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: Somebody punched them right in the schnas and they broke 377 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: their nose. This thing smells like a rotting corpse. However, right, 378 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: what do we know? Just an overnight show? So who knows? 379 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: All right? Now pay two to Tampa Bay we go 380 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: where Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles. He's back. Yeah, now, he 381 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: said he planned on returning his coach, but he didn't 382 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: get to make that decision. Ownership said yeah, so he 383 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: will be returning for the twenty twenty six campaign. Holy TJ. 384 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: Seimer's batman. Now. Earlier this week, Bulls met with the 385 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: Glazer family, the aristocrats that own the team, and the 386 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Robber Barons said okay, we would like to continue our relationship. 387 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay a losing record, and Todd Bowles has won 388 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: that division three times. Because the division blows. He's got 389 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: a record as coach of the Bucks. Todd Bowles just 390 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: two games over five hundred and four seasons and three 391 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: division championships, and he's one in three. His Buccaneers are 392 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: in the postseason. So the question, what is your word 393 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: on Todd Bowles continuing as coach of the Buccaneers? What 394 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: is your word? My word is palatable. That's my word. 395 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: This is palatable all right now. If you look at 396 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: it from thirty thousand feet, Todd Bowles is room temperature 397 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: chicken soup. It's one of those things that you eat it. 398 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: You're not really happy about it. Yeah, I'm excited about it. 399 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: You don't send it back, but you're not instagramming it either, 400 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying. All right, So Todd Bowles 401 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: is what I would classify as a better SoundBite than 402 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: he is a coach. And he's a sneaky good SoundBite, 403 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. And for our purposes as a talk show, 404 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: that works, that's all we care about. We're selfish. He's 405 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: the straight man coach in the league, right and a 406 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: lot of clowns honking their horns and all that stuff, 407 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: wearing the clown makeup. Todd Bowles is never going to 408 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: be Dan Campbell biting kneecaps like it's on all you 409 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: can eat buffet of wings. He's certainly not Mike Tomlin. Well, 410 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: the standard is the standard. He doesn't have that stitched 411 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: on a pillow like Tomlin does. Todd Bowles comes off 412 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: as emotionless. He's a coaching mannequin. Blink and you miss it. However, 413 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: doing a daily show here at Fox Sports Radio over 414 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: the years, I have noticed and told Todd Bowles coach 415 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Jets as well, he's a vagabond 416 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: coach and all that stuff, not very good coaches. He's 417 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: a better sound by than he's the coaches. We said. However, 418 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: the Kodak moments. That's a dated reference, but you get 419 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: the point. It's legendary. Remember a couple of years back 420 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: that the race baiting media tried to turn Todd Bowles 421 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: coaching against Mike Tomlin into a some kind of sociology project, 422 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: and they wanted this question. They already had the story written, 423 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, about this being a champion of race relations 424 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: in America, and Todd Bowles shut it down like a 425 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: librarian shushing the room. It was so great. He pissed 426 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: off those race baiting media guys so much because Todd 427 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: Bowles didn't take the bait. He said, hey, we don't 428 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 1: look at color. He said, the minute you guys stopped 429 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: making a big deal about it, everybody else will as 430 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: well drop the mic. He didn't drop the mic though. 431 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles added on that the media turned black coaches 432 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: into odd balls by constantly highlighting their race. It was 433 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: a beautiful body blow, body blow by Todd Bowles. That 434 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: was the day I completely fell in love with Todd Bowles. 435 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: I love when the media has got their narrative and 436 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: he just shoved it down their throat. Now, another great 437 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: moment with Todd Bowles was when he was asked about 438 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers playing the Lions in a playoff game a 439 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: couple of years back, and a really really smart reporter 440 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: from Tampa take a TV person asked Todd Bowles, what 441 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: are you going to do? How do you prepare for 442 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: that cold weather in Detroit? The forecast looks pretty bad, 443 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: And Todd Bowles paused for a second, and he stared 444 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: at the reporter. He looked to the side a little bit, 445 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: and then he paused a little longer, and then he 446 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: said to the reporter, you do know we play indoors, right, 447 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: that is an Alzheimer. Now listen on the field the 448 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: Bucks have They haven't overachieved. No one's gonna say, Todd 449 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: Bowles teams have overachieved. They have not. I would argue 450 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: they haven't underachieved. There's no real surprises here. There's no spikes, 451 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: there's no dips, there's no dipsy new there's none of that. 452 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: This has been a team performing at its baseline expectation 453 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: in Tampa, and Baker Mayfield was the MVP for five weeks, 454 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: then they had to play the rest of the games. 455 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: They're serving milk toast for breakfast in the NFC South. 456 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: When you have milk toast. That is the breakfast of champions. 457 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: That is the breakfast of champions. Now the malor verdict 458 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: on Todd Bowles again great soundbites, shrug, He's a stable guy? 459 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Is he a little boring? At times? He can be 460 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: a little bit boring? I somehow like. I don't. It's 461 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: in terms of average coaches. I like Todd Bowles. I 462 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: admit it all right. Now, final point to college football. 463 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: We go hap b Valley to be exact where Penn 464 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: State recently hired former Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. After 465 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: seventy five coaches said no to Penn State, they finally 466 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: hired Matt Campbell. I'm sure LeVar Arrington's very excited about that. Anyway, 467 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: this prompted how many players to leave Iowa State to 468 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: go to Penn State? Not one, not two, not three, 469 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, No, no, no, no, 470 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: how about nineteen cyclone players said I'm leaving Iowa. I'm 471 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: saying bye bye, and I'm going to the Keystone State, 472 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: including supposedly a star. I don't know if this guy's star. 473 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: Rock O Beck is at a star. So all those 474 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: guys transferred via the portal. This of course led to 475 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: what that's right, It led to a hullabaloo, hullabaloo social media. 476 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's these things. I guess college football 477 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: people say he was called message boards. I thought that 478 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: died in the nineties, but maybe not. They're still run 479 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: and it's not fair and this is cheating the rules 480 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: and Penn State shouldn't be allowed to do this. It's 481 00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: not right. It's recreation. I am. I'm doing performance right, 482 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm recreating what it sounded like during the hullabaloo, right 483 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: the Kerfluffel. So question, how do you process the rage 484 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: at Penn State coach Matt Campbell for taking so many 485 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: of his Pycombe players with him from his old outposts. 486 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: So I classify this and I process this as hysteria 487 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: with the capital h hysteria with the capitol age. Penn 488 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: State is apparently, I don't know how this happened. Public 489 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: enemy number one for taking Iowa State players? Is that 490 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: right now? I gotta tell you something. I'm getting old office. 491 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean, people are dying all around me. But my 492 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: whole life I was told cyclone talent was subprime, that 493 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: great players don't go to ames Iowa they don't do it. 494 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: And yet now I'm supposed to believe because State hired 495 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: Iowa State's coach. And then there's a conga line, there's 496 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: convoys of Iowa State players coming in, and so now 497 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: suddenly what these guys are all crown jewels like pick 498 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: a lane? How about you stay in your lane? Now, 499 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: this is the nil new world order, is what it is. 500 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: It's the wild wild West. It's not new. You are 501 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: allowed to relocate around college football. You can change schools, 502 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: you can take your couch with you, if you want, 503 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: your lamp, your dog, whatever, it doesn't matter. And look 504 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: at the Indiana Hoosiers who are just a couple wins 505 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: away from a championship. And Kurt Signetti, the coach there, 506 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: he brought a bunch of his guys to establish his 507 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: wants and needs in Indiana from his old job. Lickety 508 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: split turned the Indiana Hoosiers into a Big ten bulley, 509 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: a buzz saw, much to the dismay of All State 510 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: and Michigan and every other team in the Big Ten. 511 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: So spare me the violence, that's the whole, but spare 512 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: me the violins on this one. This is loyalty, obviously, 513 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: just cash. I saw something the other day I was reading, 514 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: and do not ask me where because I read a 515 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: lot of things and I'm not sure where I saw this. 516 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: But seventy percent seventy percent of transfers follow the people 517 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: that recruited them originally, meaning they just me who were 518 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: recruited and they fall them along. That's according to the 519 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: NCAA some of the stats they have. So it's again 520 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: a reminder is not what you know, it's who you know, 521 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: which is just the secret to life. Like everyone should 522 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: know that. When you're a young person, you should know. 523 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: It's really you need to have a wide circle of 524 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: people in your life because it's not how smart you are. 525 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: If nobody knows about it, you're gonna get gigs by 526 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: people recommending you and all that. So for the and 527 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't how many people are really complaining, but does 528 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: it seemed like a large number. So people who are complaining. 529 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: Take a chill pill, maybe two, how about three? And 530 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: make sure you have a picture of water and it's 531 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: a super califragilistic xbali docious is what it is. There 532 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: you go, the water will help the medicine go down. 533 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: It will help it go down, down, down, Down Down. 534 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller 535 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 536 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: It's Mallard. How about that? To the third degree? This 537 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: is one Big Ben gets grilled Krulu. 538 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 6: His name is Julius Pringles by the way, Oh happy 539 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 6: wow Berkely. 540 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 541 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 6: On Tuesday, it was reported that a rival executive thinks 542 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 6: that Max Crosby is quote done with the Raiders. Crosby 543 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 6: has been in the NFL seven years and has been 544 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 6: through five head coaches. Now it will be a six 545 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 6: if he stays with them. Ben, do you think the 546 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 6: Raiders will finally trade Crosby? 547 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: So I would say there's like a seventy percent chance 548 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: he's traded. Obviously depends on who the Raiders hire as 549 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: a coach. Could be somebody that Max Crosby likes a lot. 550 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: He was really pissed off at Pete Carroll and Tom 551 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Brady and those guys. He just had surgery supposedly over something. 552 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I said, there's a seventy percent chance that 553 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: these traded by the Raiders and we fit start getting 554 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: some coaches higher in the next couple weeks. 555 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 6: Next Jets GM Darren Mogi was asked if the team 556 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 6: will push to bring back question Mark. There's a question Mark, Yeah, 557 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 6: push to bring back Breece Hall. He replied, Breeze is 558 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 6: a good player. I won as many good players back 559 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 6: as we can. Ben, what do you think happens with Hall? 560 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: So I'm told Coop it takes two to tango and breese. 561 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: Hall was pretty clear that he did not did not 562 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: like the organization, that he did not believe in the 563 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: franchise charter, and then violated the code of conduct with 564 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: some of the things he sent out. So if you 565 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: don't want to be there, as everyone's taking shot to 566 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: the Jets right now, I say that he's a running back. 567 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: How import is a running back? He's not like the 568 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: greatest running back of the world. I say he's gone. 569 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: Also next, there's. 570 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 6: Reporter This week, the NFL saw a dip in attendance 571 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 6: this season. Though the drop was just under one percent, 572 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 6: it's still the first time that's happened since the pandemic. 573 00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 6: But is this a big deal? 574 00:33:59,640 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Little? 575 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 6: No deal? 576 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: It's no deal because it's all because of the fans 577 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: in Nashville. Did you see this? Ben? A nine percent 578 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: drop for the Titans. How we do you passed.
