But first I 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: do want to turn our attentions really quickly to the NBA. 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: All right, So then in just about an hour so 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna have a conversation about some of the scoring 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: explosions that we have seen across the league so far. 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: How about this one? This didn't make the update. I 22 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: don't blame you for not putting it in there, Steve, 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: the segre but the Jazz eighty two hornets forty seven 24 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: at the half? What could go wrong? That's ninety rockets 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: seventy seven. That had too bad? But I mean that 26 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: that eighty two to forty seven. We've seen a lot 27 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: of stuff like that earlier. Today, the Knicks and the 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 2: Heat were tied at eighty six to start the fourth 29 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: quarter final score one twenty five to one oh nine. 30 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: All right, but let's turn our attentions to one guy 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: in particular, who is uh he's absent today. 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: He did not show up on. 33 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: A Ferris Bueller style return, but uh, Joel Embiid has 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: missed his eleventh game so far this year. Right now, 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: as the Nuggets and the seventy six ers go down 36 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: to the wire, Steve just updated you with the score there. 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: But let's hear what the fans in Denver had to 38 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: say as it was announced that INMB was a late scratch. 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: So what you hear? 40 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 2: There is a forty thousand close friends chanting where's Embiid at? 41 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: Where's Embiid at? 42 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: And I mean, I couldn't think this is such a 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: bad look, not only for the NBA, but also for 44 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: Embiid in particular, who the last time we saw him 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: play scored seventy. 46 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Freaking points in the game. Yeah, I guess. I guess 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: he hurt his knee or whatever. He leftny swords. Maybe 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: that's because I guess he gunned for seventy and got 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: seventy buckets in the last game. I don't know, but 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a small victory lap here because for 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: about a good decade, a good ten years, I've been 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: talking about the NBA and the product that's on the 53 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: floor and how it's turned into almost like political type sports, 54 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: politics type sports type thing where you literally can sit 55 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: down and not participate in play. They can rine any 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: injury down they wont There's no real true way to 57 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: really prove whether he has a knee soreness tonight or not. 58 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: There's no way to really prove it. All they have 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: to do is say it. And now you have fans. 60 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: You have the biggest stars just screwing the fans by 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: sitting out of these big Friday night, Saturday afternoons, Sunday 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: Night T and T or ESPN and Thursday night T 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: and T against guys sitting out where you know, when 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: you get the schedule as a fan, and your mom 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: or dad says you could pick a game, you look 66 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: for certain people. You talked about yourself wanting to go 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: see Alan Iverson. For me, it was wanting to go 68 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: see Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, those guys that have sat 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: out because they were sore and they had already missed nine, ten, 70 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: eleven games. I would be pissed, and I can tell 71 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: the fans they're upset. But what you heard tonight, like 72 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: you said, this isn't just bad for the NBA. This 73 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: could be catastrah fit to a level of the league's 74 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: not gonna shut down or anything like that. But when 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the next CVA comes around, look for huge financial changes 76 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: in contracts play because sponsorships and these networks are gonna go. Hey, listen, 77 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: If you guys are allowing Embiid, who's the reigning MVP, 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: to sit eleven games, which will probably be about fifteen 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: or sixteen games by the end of the season, okay, 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: then we can't draw. We don't want our sponsorship, we 81 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: don't want our spots on those games. Now, I don't 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: know if that's possible to happen, But if I was 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: owning the company. Hey man, listen, I'm not I'm not 84 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: running commercials for Inca. Dara. You know what I'm saying. 85 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm not running commercials for Clarence Witherspoon.

You know, there 97 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: might be some cursing in here, but you can see 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: the amount of people in the crowd who are booing him, 99 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: who are jeering him, giving him the thumbs down like 100 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: their Roman gladiators, like the Roman emperors and gladiators, and 101 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 2: no thumbs down on you, Joel.

If you haven't seen 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: this yet, but if you're going to watch Chris Brown's 129 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: acting debut, listen, don't blink, okay, cause it's gonna be 130 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: over quick. 131 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: That's what happens when you buy a zicket to an 132 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: NBA game. Now, is anybody gonna play? If they do play, 133 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: is anybody gonna play defense? Probably not to both the NBA. 134 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: I feel like over the last I would say, eight 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: to ten years, it feels like they're always trying to 136 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: sell themselves to you. Like, if you're a baseball fan, 137 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: MLB doesn't have to sell it themselves to you, NHL 138 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: doesn't have to sell themselves. In the NFL, damn sure 139 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: doesn't have to sell theirself anybody. I looked up the numbers. 140 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Over nine hundred and thirty eight billion minutes of NFL 141 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: was watched this year, which surpassed every league by far, 142 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Baseball finishing with more minutes over the NBA. That was 143 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: super interesting. But they're always trying to sell us. They 144 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: changed the All Star Game, you change the skills competition, 145 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: you change this, you change that, and then you added 146 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: the end season turning it that everybody went crazy about, 147 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: and I said, right here, told you guys, guys, this 148 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: is nothing. Trust me, they're gonna go right back. The 149 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: interest is gonna fall off. They're gonna go right back. 150 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: The load managing like crazy. After everybody put it all 151 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: in a few teams, I would say, and Lebron told 152 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: the truth. Remember he told the truth out loud on accident. Yeah, exactly. 153 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: When you give us something to play for a bunch 154 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: of outmen, Well, what are you playing for when the 155 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: season starts, bro, you get paid for every game. But 156 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: being that they're always trying to sell us something, they're 157 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: not improving the product. That's that's that's counterproductive in business. 158 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: You're trying to sell me a product, but you won't 159 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: improve the product. You're making the product worse. And if 160 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: it weren't for debate shows out my god, like the 161 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: NBA would be done. That's the only reason that's keeping 162 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: it alive is that the talking heads keep talking about it, 163 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: because if you really just went off the product itself. 164 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: This is crazy. How many teams scored over one forty 165 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: last night? I think it was like two or three 166 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: different teams over one hundred and forty points.

They don't play no defense in 178 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: this league. Nobody rebounds. The leading rebounders is three guys, 179 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: all tied at twelve a night.

You got the biggest guys in 182 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: the league in seven one seven to twelve boards. Lebron 183 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: gets seven. I mean this product, man, this the NBA. 184 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: What's happening right in front of our eyes? Man? And 185 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: if you even look at the points per game for scores, 186 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: there's really only three guys in the top twenty maybe 187 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: four guys that are from this air. Everybody else is 188 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: from a must must most tougher, defensive minded air. You 189 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: got lebron kd MB and Steph are all in the 190 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: top twenty of career points per game. Everybody else the 191 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: other sixteen guys are from the yesterdy years before. When 192 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: you actually play defense, I'll tell me these players are 193 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: just as good and more athletic and better ball players. 194 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: Stop it. 195 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: To paraphrase from Stringer Bell, I know it's product this week, 196 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: but this week all over, the thing is no matter 197 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: what we call it, heroin, it's gonna get sold. If 198 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 2: it's strong, we're gonna sell it. If it's weak, we're 199 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: gonna sell twice as much because the feed is gonna 200 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 2: chase it no matter what. 201 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: No matter what, I'll tell you what. 202 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: I think, the Stringer Bell school of business may be 203 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 2: closing down because and I don't mean this to disparage 204 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 2: South Carolina women's basketball, not one bit. I don't mean 205 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to take a shot. Don't get me 206 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 2: twisted the wrong way. 207 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: Go ahead, but I'm don come after you. 208 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: But if you are the NBA executives and you see 209 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: that South Carolina women's basketball drew one point five million 210 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: viewers and Celtics Heat did one point two. You gotta 211 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: be sitting up there like, oh my goodness, what in 212 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: the world is going on here? 213 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: It's all guaranteed though. That's the problem. It reminds me 214 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: of Doling, the Knicks owner. Remember for years he never 215 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: really worried about putting a great team on the court. 216 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Why because the fans are gonna come to msg anyway. 217 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: It don't matter. They were twenty win teams, twenty five 218 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: win teams, twenty seven win teams for the Knicks. That 219 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: was still selling out the garden every night. NBA fans 220 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: the in my opinion, today's generation of the hardcourt NBA 221 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: fan is so brainwashed they can't turn it off. Like 222 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: this is what they do. It's like watching the news 223 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: every afternoon. If you watch it long enough, you feed 224 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: into it. It becomes part of what you do. But 225 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: if you really go up and down and look at 226 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: some of these teams in some of these games, it's 227 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: just it's a bad product. It's not a product. But 228 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you're used to watching it, he's 229 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: just gonna continue to watch it, so I don't expect 230 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: it to ever go away. But like you said, just 231 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: look at the ratings. Then look at the ratings. Denver 232 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: gets to win one eleven to one oh five. Right now, 233 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: as they're shaking hands and hugging. At the end of 234 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: the game, Embiid and Jokics had a moment where they hugged. 235 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Embiid with this Louis Vatan shirt on him, and Yokis 236 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: should have did a jersey swap. He gets Jokish's jersey 237 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: and then Jokis gets the puffer vest that Embiid has on. 238 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: Right now, who says, no, yeah, nah, I like that. 239 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: I think I think he came out because his outfit 240 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: is fresh, and I think it's one of the moments. Okay, 241 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: I gotta let everybody see me in its full I 242 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: walk out of this Arita. Let me come out and 243 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: watch the last part again. At that part, I don't 244 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: like coming up. If you're not gonna play either come 245 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: out there, you know, right at the beginning or at 246 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. I mean, I mean beginning the first quarter. 247 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: Sometimes you see guys, once the game gets started, don't 248 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: come sit out, but don't show up with the last 249 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: one oh seven left in the clock and you out 250 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: on the court dapping up people like you played. 251 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: Come on the game.

That concludes your Boston tenure. Now 360 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: he goes to the Clippers. 361 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: Lost in the semifinals, lost in the semifinals, lost in 362 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: the first round, lost in the first round, missed the playoffs, 363 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: lost in the first round again, then conference semifinals.

Correct, That is okay, 365 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: that is correct. 366 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 2: Continue and in Philadelphia seventy six years, lost in the 367 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: semifinals three straight years in a row. 368 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: So no conference finals in Philly either. Hmmm with all 369 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: last time he was. 370 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: In the conference finals was twenty eleven, twelow. 371 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: Twelve years ago, twelve to thirteen years ago. He's even 372 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: coached in the conference finals. And you think he is 373 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: going to do something with dude, The Bucks season is done. 374 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying it right now. In January twenty seventh, Elijah, 375 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: cut this one and save it. They are finished. You're 376 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: already twenty if in below in defensive rating. When you 377 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: were a top five defensive rated team. But you decided 378 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: to give up not just an All Pro defender, you 379 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: gave up a first team All Pro defender for Dame. Listen, 380 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: Dame can get you, but I get that. But at 381 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: some point in April and May, you gotta defend. They 382 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: can't stop a nosebleed on a perimeter. Giannis, Hey man, 383 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm lucky. I'm happy you got your one. I'm hoping 384 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: you Got'm lucky you got that one a few years ago, 385 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get one none of this coach. 386 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: The thing about Doc and his he's running two. Now. 387 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's a long list of playoff losses, right, 388 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: especially not reaching a conference semifinal and not reaching out 389 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 2: conference finals as you say, in over ten years. Yeah, 390 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: but when you look at least specifically right, just zoom 391 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 2: hyper focus on the last three years, he had two 392 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: different point guards that did not want to shoot, like 393 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: James Harden was in and out of the in and 394 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: out of his effectiveness in the postseason, and then Ben 395 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 2: Simmons hasn't been the same since Ben Simmons has not 396 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: been the same since that Atlanta series. 397 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: He's got guards that want to shoot now. And the 398 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: big thing. 399 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 2: We were sitting here watching those games, the Heat versus 400 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: the Bucks last year in the first round, and we 401 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 2: were talking about should the Heat blow it up because 402 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 2: you know, Milwaukee had you know, a lead in the 403 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 2: series and so on, and then the way they lost 404 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: that series goes down with the ankle for a game 405 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: and a half, right, so he's back up after that. 406 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: But the way that they lost the clinching game with 407 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: with Chris middle I mean, Grayson. I will never forget 408 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: Grayson Allen taking a euro step as time extent, as 409 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: time expired, Allen, I mean, because Chris Middleton was right, Allen, 410 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: he was Grayson. I mean, Chris Middleton was running from 411 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: the ball. Giannis was running from the ball, right, Damian 412 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: Lillard is not going to run from the ball in 413 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: those moment, It's right, So that at least is your 414 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: saving grace here. But this thing with Adrian Griffin sounded 415 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: bad from the start, especially when you consider that Terry 416 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 2: Stotts was like, actually, thanks, but no thanks, I'm gonna 417 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: I'd rather not work than work here this season, man, 418 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: And you thought that was to me. Terry stops a 419 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: pretty good defensive coach. That's hiss. That was kind of 420 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: his job. 421 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: That's I saw that on coach Damian Lillard for an 422 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: extended period of time in Portland. 423 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: He knows Dame very well. You would have thought that 424 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: would have been something that should have been able to 425 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 2: work for a first year head coach. 426 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: Did not. 427 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: But we'll see what We'll see what happens with the 428 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks here at DOC Rivers. 429 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: But huge mistake, well huge mistake. I mean they did. 430 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: They clearly wanted anybody but Adrian Griffin. 431 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: I think is the answer. Came out dancing and won 432 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: that game and then turn around and dropped the next game, 433 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: giving up one hundred and thirty plus. Hey, listen the tape, 434 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: don't lie the tape, don't lie. You put Bucks games 435 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: on DOC Rivers from January twenty seventh is not gonna 436 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: turn them into a significantly better defensive team. They can't 437 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: defend the perimeter. And what's today's league free free balling 438 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: on the perimeter, pauls and pick and roll, high pick 439 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: and roll and getting to the paint or whatever. That's 440 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: that's today's NBA. So good luck. Like I said, I'll 441 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: stand on this all the way. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, 442 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: but I'll stand on this all the way to the 443 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: D Conference semi finals. They don't have a shot at 444 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: getting to the conference finals in the Eastern Conference. Oh, 445 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: mark my. 446 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: Words, that'll be the last two since twenty twenty.

You can get him on Twitter at 519 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: the Tyler Dragon. Tyler Dragon, How the hell are you? 520 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: My boy? 521 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 6: Oh? I'm good. It's a good Saturday. There's no football, 522 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 6: but at least we have a Laker game. But I 523 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 6: know VJ is a huge Lebron James fan, so he 524 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 6: gets to watch Lebron. 525 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: It's like all that, did you write that yourself? 526 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's focus on the matter at end, though, 527 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: because listen, I'll tell you what you put a quarter 528 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: in VJA, He'll talk about Lebron for another hour. 529 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and get to the matter at hand. 530 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: The NFL Championship weekend is upon us. 531 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: Tyler, Which one of these two games are you most 532 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: excited for? Is it Chiefs Ravens or is it Lions 533 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: forty nine ers? 534 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 6: And why, I know you're a Detroit guy, but I 535 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 6: gotta go Chief Ravens. I mean that that's the marquee game, 536 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 6: even though it's the first game, which is kind of 537 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 6: a surprise, but regardless, you got Taswholmes, Lamar Jackson, two 538 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 6: MVPs going at it with their teams. I mean, I 539 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 6: cannot wait for the game in Baltimore. And really, this 540 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 6: this is a statement game for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. 541 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson's had a lot of Nate sayers saying he 542 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 6: can't win with his style of play, can't go advance 543 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 6: to the super Bowl the way he plays quarterback. Well, 544 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 6: he can shut all that noise tomorrow with a win 545 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 6: versus the Chiefs team that's been there, done that. It 546 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 6: seems like the Chiefs are always in the AFT Championship game, 547 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 6: that's the Chiefs Invitational, the AFC Championship. But maybe Lamar 548 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 6: Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have something to say for it. 549 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 6: So I cannot wait for the matchup. 550 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: Tyler Dragon was good Man Husky, how living? How's how's 551 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: the newe? How's the little one? 552 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 6: He's He's keeping me busy up all hours of the 553 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 6: night for sure. 554 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: Good. I hope you get no sleep anyway. Let's stay 555 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: with Lamar Man. Let's stay because you you were the guy. 556 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: You were really the main voice in journalism that I 557 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: heard the earliest say No, Lamar Jackson's the MVP, So 558 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your props there. So there's a prop 559 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: bet I'm looking at tomorrow, man, I like on a 560 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: plus twelve hundred, Lamar one twenty five plus yards and 561 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: one plus touch Russian touchdown. So I'm gonna write it 562 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: down in two twenty yards passing sixty yards Russian and 563 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: two Russian touchdowns. If Lamar does that tomorrow, where will 564 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: he be in two weeks? He'd be home. Are you 565 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: gonna be in the super Bowl in two weeks in Vegas? 566 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 6: He'll be in Las Vegas. If he has those types 567 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 6: of numbers, that is the Lamar Jackson MVP type game. 568 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 6: And that is a performance where he is not only 569 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 6: beating Kansas City with his arms, but with his legs. 570 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 6: So if he has that type for that type of numbers. 571 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 6: With that Baltimore defense on the other side, number one 572 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 6: points the loud yards per game, a top ring defense. 573 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 6: I mean, the Ravens will be in Las Vegas that 574 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 6: they have performed something like that. 575 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 2: Marlon Humphy, you're also coming back to join that defense. 576 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: He missed the last two games the Ravens played with 577 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: the calf injury. But let's go to the B side. 578 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 2: According to Tyler Drag, you know everyonight has a and 579 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 2: a B side. He says the NFC is as a 580 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: second fiddle to the AFC. But I want to ask 581 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: it because the last time we talked to you, we 582 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: were watching the forty nine Ers and the Packers live 583 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 2: on television as we were going through the show and 584 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: going through your interview, and I asked you at the time, 585 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: are these lights a little too bright for brock Party? 586 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 2: Because he was not necessarily playing his best football, not 587 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: football that we have seen him play earlier in the 588 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: regular season in the last two regular seasons, and he 589 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: didn't really improve in my eyes until that last drive. Now, 590 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: everybody will say it was raining and the ball was wet, 591 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: but do you think that Rock Party will be able? 592 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I'll say like this, do you think the 593 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 2: forty nine ers can survive a game out like like 594 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: we saw last week? 595 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: Got a Rock Party against the line. 596 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 6: Rock Purty is going to have to play better. And 597 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 6: he said post game after that game that rain did 598 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 6: play a fact that he does not like throwing wet 599 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 6: football in the rain with his hands, that he didn't 600 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 6: get a lot of grip on the ball. So we're 601 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 6: going to give him that. It's not supposed to be 602 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 6: rainy in the Bay Area tomorrow, so they give it. 603 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 6: I'll give him the benefit of doubt. But if he 604 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 6: puts up a performance similar like he did last week, 605 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 6: the forty nine ers are going home. They need him 606 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 6: to be a better player behind him, to deliver accurate 607 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 6: passes because he was inaccurate last week, and continue playing 608 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 6: that precision tile style game management type of football that 609 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 6: Kyle Shanahan's West Coast System lights to have. So I 610 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 6: do like point nineers this game, especially Deebo Samuel, He's 611 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 6: going to be active in playing Sunday. We know what 612 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 6: the forty nine ers are like when they have all 613 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 6: their pillars, their core players together, Christian McCaffery, Deebo, Trent Williams, Brandon, 614 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 6: I You, George Kittle, Rock Purty. When they are together 615 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 6: on the stield. The forty nine ers have shown that 616 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 6: they are a tough team to beat. That defense is 617 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 6: pretty healthy as well. So the forty nine ers I 618 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 6: like them in San Francisco tomorrow against the Lions team. 619 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 6: Let's state that they are one of the darlings of 620 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 6: the NFL, probably the Darley in the NFL did season 621 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 6: and they broke their wins route in the playoffs. That's 622 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 6: all fine and dandy, but this is the forty nine 623 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 6: ers team that's been the three straight NFC Championship game, 624 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 6: four in the last five years. They snailed the Super 625 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 6: Bowl right around the corner and they won to hoist 626 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 6: the Lombardi Tophies because that franchise has not won a 627 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 6: Super Bowl since the nineteen ninety four season, despite them 628 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 6: being in the last three straight NFC Championship games. 629 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: Is happy to be here? Wow? Yeah, I'm gonna go 630 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: against that though, real fast. The question I thought to 631 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: live Martin VJ on Fox Sports Radio. Right now, we 632 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: have Tyler Dragon on NFL Report at USA today, So 633 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: I hear all that you're saying. But I look at 634 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: the right side of San Francisco's offensive line and I 635 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: know that Hutchinson eleven and a half sacks. The only 636 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: double digit SAT guy on the Lion's defense. Brian Branch 637 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: will be down in that box. They got linebackers that 638 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: can run and cover and tackle. I'm with you on 639 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: who wants some with Deebo. I said it all last week. 640 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: When he's not on the field, they are a completely 641 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: different team. But something about this Lions team, I'm really 642 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: drinking the juice because they got playmakers on both of 643 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: the sides. I think The game's gonna come down as 644 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: far as where the weakness is. Each team is gonna 645 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: be the secondary. Do you think Purdy can overcome the 646 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: line secondary more or Golf is gonna be able to 647 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: pick apart if he gets time with that great offensive 648 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: line that the Lions bring in to pick apart San 649 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: Francisco's secondary. 650 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say this, Purdy has a better chance 651 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 6: of picking parts the Lions secondary. And I say that 652 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 6: I think Golf is a better quarterback. But the forty 653 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 6: nine ers overall have the best defense. Their secondary is 654 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 6: the weakness to their defense. Yes, they have the best 655 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 6: front seven and all the football from the second level 656 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 6: Fred Warner to one. I'm talking about Nick Bosa and 657 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 6: those boys, Eric Armstead, Kase Young up front that they're 658 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 6: going to be able to even those Lions have a 659 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 6: really good offensive line. That front seven in the San 660 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 6: Francisco forty nine is has the ability to overwhelm you 661 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 6: and pressure the quarterback, and I think they're going to 662 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 6: have an advantage against the Lions. So that's why I 663 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 6: have Rock Purty as the edge because he's going up 664 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 6: against the defense that's not as good as a defense 665 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 6: that Jared golf is in the face. 666 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that one. 667 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 2: I think both of these secondaries are a little suspect, 668 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: to be honest, but you know it's never suspect, and 669 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: that's what you have.

Tyler Dragon just was saying this 701 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: about the forty nine ers have the best front seven 702 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: in the league, wanting something. 703 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 2: So I'm curious what your opinion is about, because you know, 704 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 2: for me, I start inside out when I'm watching football, 705 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: I start with the guy who touches the ball first, 706 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: that's the center, and you move out from there, get 707 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: the big uglies, and you gotta kind of rank those 708 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: people first. Then you go to the outside skill positions 709 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 2: and quarterbacks. See what you got, And I think the 710 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 2: Lions have the better trenches and the better quarterback in 711 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: this matchup coming up. 712 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: Now, he doesn't play as well. 713 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 2: Outside as he does inside, but even still, and you 714 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 2: go about pedigree, you can't get any further with Jered 715 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: Goff being a former number one overall pick and brock 716 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: Perdy being the last pick in the draft when he 717 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 2: was eligible. 718 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, the reason why I don't agree with this 719 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: is be because it's always starts in the trenches. Now, 720 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 1: you can tell me all they have the best front 721 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: seven at the best front seven, Alright, that's cool. But 722 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the better offensive line 723 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: is where it starts before you can even get to 724 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: the front seven. And if you have to start committing 725 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: that front seven to Jared Goff, I'm telling you guys, 726 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: he is going to carve San Francisco secondary to shreds. 727 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: Did we not just watch Jordan Love do the exact 728 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: same thing to this secondary? And why because his line 729 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: held up for him. And you want to talk about 730 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: something that I always point to is running the football. 731 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: If you look at how many yards that Green Bay 732 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: ran for last week on this San Francisco defense, one 733 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: thirty eight, they get run the football. What does Detroit do? 734 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Very well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, They run 735 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 1: the football. Jamior Gibbs, if you let this guy get going, 736 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: you tell you let him sneak out of the backfield 737 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: on any type of play action play and receive a 738 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: dump off where he has room to move. Because those 739 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: and Tyler Dragon was correct about Bosa and Chase shut 740 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: those ends are coming up. Fine, come on, come on, baby, 741 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: come on up Phield so I can slide a running 742 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: back like Jamiir Gibbs right behind you, dump it over 743 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: your head, closest defenders already nine yards away. He's defeated. 744 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 1: He don't got a shot in hell. Jamiir is missing, 745 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: making that guy miss. They have explosiveness with the tight 746 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: end position, with the receiver, even the slot and the 747 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: two receiver, the wr two guy. I'm I totally disagreed 748 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: when he said that this line. In my opinion, I 749 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: would probably say either them or Cleveland. They have the 750 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: best offensive line in football. That means something, ladies and gentlemen. 751 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: So and in San Francisco they have Trent Williams, but 752 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: everybody knows their weakness is where the right side. This 753 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: feels like a Adam. This feels like a Hutchison game 754 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: to me, because what else was the Green Bay able 755 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 1: to do the party last week? Get to him and 756 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: sack him. So I'm with you, Bry, I was way. 757 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: That's That's why I don't want to give my pickaway. 758 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: But this game, to me is bigger than the Chiefs 759 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: Ravens game in my opinion, because this game has a 760 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: team that people cheap picking to win since they got 761 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl and loss and they haven't done it. 762 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 1: You have a team that haven't done anything in thirty years. 763 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: You think they're happy just because even the part where 764 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, they won their playoff games, they broke 765 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: their little streak. But you think that's how they're thinking. 766 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: Come on, man, you think that's that Dan Campbell's talk 767 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: gets off. Oh my, this is going to be a 768 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: fight tomorrow. Trust me, they're gonna Yeah, I don't want 769 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,479 Speaker 1: to give my pickaway. This's gonna be a fight tomorrow. 770 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: But I disagree with the whole the whole line thing. 771 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 2: Absolutely will we will get into the NFC Championship game 772 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 2: full board at ten o'clock Easter, seven o'clock Pacific, so 773 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 2: just about an hour from now. But right now I 774 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 2: don't want to turn our attention to Kashawn Bhuti, arrested 775 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 2: in a gambling scheme, allegedly play thousands of bets as 776 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 2: a minor booty is less to have plays waiters on 777 00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: nearly nine thousand games, including those involving LSU where he played. 778 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 2: He was turned in. He turned himself in yesterday to 779 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 2: bet and baton rouge. He's now out on a six 780 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 2: thousand dollars bond, but he created a fake online gaming 781 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 2: account while he was still a minor as a means 782 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,439 Speaker 2: to place wagers on close to nine thousand sporting events, 783 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,959 Speaker 2: including several LSU football games. 784 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: While he was still on the team. 785 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: One famously, he bet over on himself on the well 786 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 2: touchdown scored and yards receiving didn't get either. 787 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: One of them. 788 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: There's a video of him yelling at Jalen Daniels. It's like, 789 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 2: throw me the ball, throw me the ball and then 790 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 2: maybe now you know why. 791 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: But just because he wanted the ball, well, you don't 792 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 1: want it to win his bet, ye he wanted that money. 793 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 2: Well, congratulations, because your NFL career is over, man. 794 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gambling on football if you play football, 795 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: is some of the dumbest stuff that you can do. 796 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: The whole point in gambling, the whole point is to 797 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: try to win money.

I gamble 802 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: all the time. You know what I get?

As a football player who plays football, it's 808 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 2: the same concept again as going to an undercover cop 809 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: and buying drugs and being shocked when they arrest you. 810 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 1: That's it's the same thing.

My take is, I mean, Lorain, 852 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: it can actually play my theme music gain times she 853 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 1: wants to. But my take is, thank you, Jimmy Burgers, 854 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: thank you for what you did for Michigan. Go ahead 855 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 1: and take my minor. I'm not tripping. This is a 856 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: hire that there we go, there we go. He's leaving there, 857 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: but this is a great hire because you get this guy. 858 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Burgers was the guy for this job. Jim Harbough 859 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: was the only coach of You might not said last week, 860 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: I thought he wasn't coming because I thought it was 861 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 1: taken a little long. But they were working some things out. 862 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: You can go ahead of kill delar rain and appreciate you, baby. 863 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: I thought they were taking some you know, take a 864 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: little long but it just seems like they were working 865 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: things out. But this is the higher they needed to make. 866 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: This is the higher that and the job that I 867 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: think Harball needed to take. I thought he wanted the 868 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: Chicago job that would have been closer to his family, 869 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: keep his family up there in the Midwest. But they 870 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: didn't fire ebra Flus, and then this became the job 871 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: that most people have been sought after what the last 872 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: two or three seasons. I mean, we thought Sean Payton 873 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: had it in the back, but they didn't fire Staley 874 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: until you know, a year later after he takes the 875 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: different job. But you know what this does. I haven't 876 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: heard anybody saying. I'm not saying no one has. I 877 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: just haven't heard it. This puts the clock in my opinion, Martin. 878 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: This might get this might shock you. Yet, man, it's 879 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: put this clock on Justin Herbert, because there's not just him. 880 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: There's a few players on this roster. Let's put the 881 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,439 Speaker 1: clock on you now. So some of these shortcomings we've 882 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,239 Speaker 1: seen them have you can't blame it on the coach now, 883 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: like you have Jim Harbaugh, a guy who went the 884 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 1: University of San Diego. One in eleven, made them eleven 885 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: to one. They won their first FCS excuse me, CFCs 886 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: playoff game, took one in eleven. Stanford job took them 887 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: to eleven and one, won their first BCS Bowl game 888 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco after four straight years to two four and twelve. 889 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: Takes them in three straight conference championships in the Super Bowl, 890 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: takes over five to seven Michigan team lead them to 891 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: the National championship fifteen oh season. So you know he 892 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: can do what he does. This the clock now, the 893 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: way we talk about quarterbacks, the way we have guys ranked. 894 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: The clock's on Herbert. This ticket right now, Bro, you 895 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 1: gotta I think you got to get to the playoffs 896 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 1: in his first year there. Correct, there's enough talent there. 897 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 2: I'd be surprised, honestly if they make the playoffs. 898 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: Really I die Yet. They gotta tell me why? Though? 899 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: Is it the players? 900 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 6: Is it? 901 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:43,479 Speaker 1: Jimmy? Is it? Well? 902 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 2: First, the narrative of hardball turning things around? I mean sure, 903 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 2: like here we go, let's go get into it. I mean, 904 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 2: I'm just look you go to school like Michigan, you're no. Seriously, 905 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: you're built in to beat the bowling greens in eastern Michigan. 906 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,919 Speaker 2: You are getting six wins a year minimum walking into 907 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 2: a school like Michigan. Brady Hoape was winning seven games 908 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 2: a year at a school like Michigan. Right, five and 909 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 2: seven is last year. 910 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: But I was. 911 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 2: I was at the BCS Bowl. They played against Logan Thomas, 912 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 2: who was quarterback at the time. Pretendia technis that now 913 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 2: he switched to tight end, but was. 914 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: Beating us pretty good the first half two and then 915 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: Denard Robinson took over. 916 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 2: Donard Robinson to me one of the most electrical collegeootball 917 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 2: players of all time. If you kids don't know about it, 918 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 2: go ahead and look it up. But uh, but I 919 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 2: think it's more likely that Jim Hardwall is fired in 920 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,439 Speaker 2: four years than he makes a Super Bowl. 921 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: What fired before Super Bowl appearance? No way, no way, 922 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: no way they get number one. I'll say, I think 923 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: they are a playoff team. I think they have enough talent. 924 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: So they're going to be Kansas City to win the division. No, 925 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 2: they can be a So now you're fighting from five 926 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:51,839 Speaker 2: to seven, then no, you can. 927 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: They can make a wild card. But I think what 928 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: this does do is it puts notice on guys like 929 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: Derwin James. Anybody got to take care of your body 930 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: a little better. You miss a lot of games. Bolsa, 931 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: got to take care of your body better. You miss 932 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of games. It does put the clock on 933 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: a few guys there. But I do think there's enough 934 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 1: talent there. He walks in the door, you are a tougher, 935 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: more physical team the minute he stands at the podium. 936 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: That's been shown in proven like that. You can't you 937 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 1: can't you can't finagle that. You can't fake that. You 938 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: can't fake physicality. You love you and I love the churches. 939 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: You can't fake that. They have a very good offensive 940 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: line there. They have a very good offense line. They've 941 00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 1: had some guys miss some games. Rashawn Slater's pretty good 942 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: and the senator Corey Lynsley might have never played again 943 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: with the hard issue. But uh, the rest of you 944 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: that could take her to leave it, Yeah, okay, no problem. 945 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: But they also have moves that'll make that he's not 946 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: just gonna sit with this team. This this to me 947 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: was I don't know if it's the glorious job that 948 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 1: everybody was saying it was, and I said that two 949 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago when Carrie Rose was sitting in for you 950 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: when you're on vacation. I do think, though, if there 951 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: is a guy to come in here and make it 952 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: the glorious job that people overrated as in my opinion, 953 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: then it was Jim Harball, because you are physical, more 954 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,760 Speaker 1: physical than minute you walk in there. You're more disciplined 955 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: a minute you walk in there, and they lack some 956 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 1: of that. We've said it, they lack some of that 957 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: with coach Stanley. Before that part changes, you got some 958 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: injury stuff from some guys that can't stay healthy. They 959 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: need to, hey, drink more water and stretch. You guys 960 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: know me, I say it all the time. It's very simple. 961 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: It really is. Yah, skinny pro athlete, they'll tell you, yeah, 962 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: drink more waters, stretch in the off season, all year long, 963 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: every day is what you're supposed to do so your 964 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: body's ready when it comes down to the physicality of football. 965 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: So I think he does bring that, and he is 966 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,799 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Listen, man, he touches quarterbacks, right, Let's get real. 967 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: He touches quarterbacks. And it's been proven. I never thought 968 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,879 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. To be honest with you, Mark, I never 969 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 1: thought Kalan Kaepernick was that guy. Never. I was one 970 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: of the guys always kind of going against them. But 971 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 1: Harball made them look good enough that people actually thought, 972 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy's a great quarterbacks. Like, no, 973 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,320 Speaker 1: he's doing what he needs to. What's your favorite line, dude, 974 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: what I tell you to do? 975 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 4: Well? 976 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 2: Also, I mean he does have I mean, when you 977 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 2: go and look at the list of running and passion 978 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the playoffs, Colin Kaepernick's name is the top 979 00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 2: of the list exactly. 980 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: But who's who who bought that out? And do you 981 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,359 Speaker 1: think you would have been that without Harball's as head 982 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: coach of San fran I don't. I don't. I think 983 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: it was. I think that's part of it because Harball 984 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: does have a record with quarterbacks. You got Justin Herbert, 985 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: who people are putting as a top five guy, a 986 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: top tier quarterback in this league. So you got him, 987 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 1: You got receivers. Some of those guys kind of stay 988 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: healthy too. White Mike Williams has been hurt and well 989 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be going between Keenan Allen and Mike Williams 990 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be a sixty three million dollar cap between 991 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 1: the both of them going to be on the team, 992 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: and I would say it would be Mike Williams, and 993 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: I think you do keep that's what you would think. Yeah, well, 994 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, we've seen veterans at this point. I mean, 995 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: what is the tenth eleventh year he's got. He's got 996 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: a few a year and a half younger than me. 997 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,719 Speaker 2: So I know that's not the most the most scientific 998 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 2: way to measure football players. But again, the more that 999 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 2: I have in common with an active football player, the 1000 00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 2: less the more. 1001 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 1: That's what I take called quarterbacks and the age, and 1002 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 1: if if they're close to you in age, you're out, 1003 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: you're out. 1004 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 2: But I mean, you got a guy and Sean Payton 1005 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 2: in that division who seventeen years in the NFL and 1006 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 2: has never won less than seven games, right eight and 1007 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 2: nine last year with Denver, a team that was objectly 1008 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 2: terrible the year prior. 1009 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: And even in the in the last in this. 1010 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 2: Season, gave up seventy points in the game, started out 1011 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 2: one to five. He turned that one around. You got 1012 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 2: Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, who have been in the 1013 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 2: AFC Championship Game for the last six years, five of 1014 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 2: them in Arrowhead. So you're fighting right now for second 1015 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 2: place at best in the division, maybe third. So are 1016 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 2: we saying the AFC West is getting three teams inconsistently? 1017 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 1: No, no, no, because I'm not thinking so right. I 1018 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:36,479 Speaker 1: think that's a tough one to see. 1019 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he leaves Michigan with an eleven and twelve 1020 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 2: record against Ohio State, Michigan State, and Penn State. He 1021 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,800 Speaker 2: leaves Michigan over the last nine years right prior to COVID, 1022 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 2: I mean prior to COVID, that that two and four season, 1023 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 2: which was pretty much the disaster year from Michigan. He 1024 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 2: had to take a pay cut to remain there. One 1025 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,960 Speaker 2: first place finish in that stretch. He leaves Michigan with 1026 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 2: a two and I know it was two and seven 1027 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 2: in bowl games and then they won the last two 1028 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 2: to go four and seven in bowl games to win 1029 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl and National Championship Game. But prior to 1030 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 2: winning the Rose Bowl, his last ball game win was 1031 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 2: at twenty fifteen, he finished third in the East, fourth 1032 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 2: in the East, fifth in the East. And that's the 1033 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 2: Big ten East, not the AFC East or the AFC West. 1034 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 1: So the idea that Jim Harbaugh. I guess maybe he 1035 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: turns heads, maybe in LA But I can't imagine, having 1036 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: lived in this city for the last seven to eight years, 1037 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 1: that anybody's gonna give a good dog on that Jim 1038 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: Harbaugh is the head coach of the team unless he 1039 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: starts to win. They don't have to. They don't have to, 1040 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: though this is listening. First of all, they have trouble 1041 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: drawing at home. I've seen I've seen Denver fans out 1042 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:47,760 Speaker 1: number Charger fans. 1043 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 2: I was at the Lions that Chargers game, which was 1044 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 2: essentially just four field west. But do you think do 1045 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 2: you think that hiring Harball now changes that in some 1046 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,520 Speaker 2: former fashion, because I don't think so. 1047 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,479 Speaker 1: I think it changes it not enough to where that's 1048 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: gonna be the deciding factor. But when you put a 1049 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: better product on the field, you're gonna get the fans 1050 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: back into the stadium. And listen, all that stuff, I 1051 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: don't care about. What I care about the most is 1052 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: I look at the roster and look at the moves 1053 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: and look at the cap and all that stuff. But 1054 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: I have faith in Jimmy Burger's I always have. Before 1055 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: he went back to Michigan, he has got talent here, 1056 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: and you're handing him one of the league's best quarterbacks. 1057 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,719 Speaker 1: He is an offensive mind, and he is some sort 1058 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: of a quarterback whisper. He does well with every quarterback 1059 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: he's pretty much put his hands on. He had Milton 1060 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: spateon college looking like that. He might actually could possibly 1061 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: be Big Ten player of the offensive Player of the Year. 1062 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,840 Speaker 1: Like he touches guys and great things happened at the 1063 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: quarterback position. You already have a top five guy there. 1064 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Austin Eckler. He said he's 1065 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,080 Speaker 1: done there, but maybe this higher kind of changes his 1066 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 1: mind a little bit, because you know, Jim's gonna want 1067 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: to get physical and run the football. He'll bring that 1068 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: type of physicality that we don't see with a lot 1069 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 1: of teams in the NFL. We have full faith in 1070 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: this being a good hire, not for just the Charges himself, 1071 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: but for guys like Herbert, who obviously needed an offensive 1072 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: minded type guy that could come change him, work with him, 1073 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 1: get him to make better decisions, because it's not always 1074 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 1: the coaches. Sometimes Herbert missus throws. Herbert loses games too. 1075 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: I think all of that changes. Listen, history wise, all 1076 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: I've seen is him come in and just changeyed took 1077 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: a little longer at Michigan. All those numbers you spat out, 1078 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: those are all fine, those are all true things that happen. 1079 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,520 Speaker 1: But at some point he got it turned around. The 1080 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 1: last three years they've been dominating, and then he finished 1081 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 1: it off with a national championship and win it all 1082 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 1: against teams that people say that they couldn't be against 1083 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,359 Speaker 1: pro players that are going to go in the first round, 1084 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that people love. They came to the field against 1085 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: Michigan and the defense shut them down, and he had 1086 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: our quarterback looking better than the other two quarterbacks in 1087 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 1: the college football player that we both know are better 1088 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: than our quarterback, but he looked that way. That's why 1089 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 1: he declared. Now in the draft, Kuiper has him at 1090 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: sixteen going to the Seahawks, which I don't I don't 1091 00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: agree with at all. Ridiculous. It's ridiculous. 1092 00:51:58,440 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 3: It is. 1093 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. I thought JJ could have went back for 1094 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: another year. We're not talking about that, but Jimmy Burgers. 1095 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 1: I like this for the city, man. I think he 1096 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 1: fits here. This is a blue collar town. People keep 1097 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,359 Speaker 1: trying to make this like it's glitz and glamour. That's 1098 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: a very small portion of Los Angeles. This is a 1099 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: blue collar town. He's a blue collar kind of guy. 1100 00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: They'll get a blue collar type physical Charges team, and 1101 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: I think it works out. I put him in the 1102 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: playoffs in the first year. 1103 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a disaster, and maybe 1104 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 2: this clip comes back and in. 1105 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: But we had three years. We gotta give it at 1106 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: least what. 1107 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 2: I'm saying, I think he's got a much better shot 1108 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 2: of being fired after the year four because he's got 1109 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 2: a five year deal being fired after year four than 1110 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 2: he doesn't making the championship game. 1111 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: Wow, so you're taking the under on that. You said 1112 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: within four years he won't make the AMC Championship Game, 1113 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: it will be fired. I say he's got a If 1114 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: you were to set odds on it, I think that 1115 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,919 Speaker 1: fired would be minus odds. I'll take they. I take 1116 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: he has him in the AFC Championship Game within three years. 1117 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: He has the Charges in the AFC Championship Game within 1118 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 1: three years. 1119 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 2: Now, if you told me it took the Atlanta job 1120 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 2: with a five year deal, I'd have a different vibe divisions. 1121 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 2: I'd be saying a different time, I'd be singing a 1122 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 2: different tune because that's a division that could be well rant, 1123 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,440 Speaker 2: I think like you're setting yourself up in that scenario, 1124 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 2: like like Belichick and Brady in the AFC East right 1125 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 2: where you had the Bills who stunk, the Jets who's stunk, 1126 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 2: and the Dolphins who has won a playoff. 1127 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: Game in twenty some years? 1128 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,919 Speaker 2: Right now now, but you're going into the I mean, 1129 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 2: we were talking about this when I was doing the 1130 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:21,719 Speaker 2: updates with. 1131 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,640 Speaker 1: Steven and Kerry Road was filling in. Mahomes is probably 1132 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: the only short fire Hall of Fame quarterback in the 1133 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: NFL right now active that's you know, I mean Aaron 1134 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,759 Speaker 1: Rodgers active, A rod doesn't count that, I get. I get. 1135 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 1: We're just saying who played this season seven years and 1136 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: then eight years and then yes, he's the only one 1137 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: that can look at and go, he's a short fire 1138 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 1: Hallway So. 1139 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 2: You're signing up to play against him two times a year. 1140 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,240 Speaker 2: And then again, I know Sean Payton, people have different 1141 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 2: opinions on him, but even if he's a looking at 1142 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 2: regular season, he ran the NFC South when Brady was there. 1143 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 2: Guess what Brady was doing Brady was on the road 1144 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. He 1145 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 2: ran the NFC South and Drew Brees could throw the 1146 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 2: ball on the twenty yards for the last five years 1147 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 2: of his career. 1148 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you all that's correct. But also to 1149 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: just some quick sidebars with Ksey and Mahomes and watch 1150 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: tomorrow's game is just super huge to me. You and 1151 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 1: I both commented with Patrick Patrick text us about this 1152 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 1: Andy Reid possible retirement thing. I like, you haven't seen 1153 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: anything like concrete and you know, solidified that it's even 1154 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 1: out there. But the fact that it even came out 1155 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,759 Speaker 1: there did get me to think, it's like, Wow, I 1156 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,439 Speaker 1: went and looked, looked at his age, looked how many 1157 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,240 Speaker 1: years it has been things of that nature. You go, well, 1158 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean it is, it is. You know it's coming. 1159 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 1: It's coming, and it's not as far as way as 1160 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 1: people think. If it happened in the next two years, 1161 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,640 Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock anybody. If it happened Vanny Red retired 1162 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: the next two seasons, it's not gonna shock no one. 1163 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: So you think about, hey, he could be on his 1164 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: way out, and now Mahomes would have to adjust it 1165 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of bears. We don't know what's 1166 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,919 Speaker 1: gonna happen two three years from now, I say within 1167 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 1: three years, I like AFC Championship game for the Chargers. 1168 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,799 Speaker 1: You're telling me to have one of the top five 1169 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league.

The great the best quarterbacks in the 1175 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,479 Speaker 1: league at least get to the conference championship games. 1176 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 2: Look, if you're in the NFC, I'm saying I'm singing 1177 00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 2: a different tone. We see Jayalen her, we see brock 1178 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 2: Perty in the NFC champions Game, we see Jared Golf 1179 00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 2: playing an NFC championship game. We see Jalen Hurts. Like 1180 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 2: you just said, shoot, uh, Kirk Kirk Cousins case Kanaan 1181 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 2: was playing an NF Championship game long ago. It's like, 1182 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 2: you know, so I'm not trying to you know, when 1183 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 2: you look at the AFC, they have a lot more 1184 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 2: loaded I mean, and you're gonna be fighting it out 1185 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 2: with guys like Mike Tomlin and uh just for that 1186 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 2: that that wildcard spot. 1187 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland won eleven games this year with thee the Texas 1188 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: wanted Listen, I'm not disagreeing with any of that. That's 1189 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: how good I think Jim Harball is. He will somehow 1190 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: he can battle that. You asking me if he can 1191 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 1: overcome it all, I don't know, but he can damn 1192 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,840 Speaker 1: sure compete with and have his team ready to compete 1193 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,840 Speaker 1: with that type with that type of resistance in the AFC. 1194 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:03,439 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think you're in a situation where like ten 1195 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,919 Speaker 2: games does not get you into the playoffs, which that's 1196 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 2: a hard pill to swallow in my opinion. But best 1197 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 2: of luck to you, Jim bow. We also know teams 1198 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 2: fall out of the playoffs the following year. We also 1199 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: know there's at least three new teams every year. Just 1200 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 2: you know, you betting on Kansas City being one of them? Yes, 1201 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 2: of course, most people are Kansas City will be in 1202 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 2: the playoffs. Absolutely, go ye? All right, so that's one 1203 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 2: those other six flip coins. Let's just get flip coins 1204 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: in Kansas. 1205 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: City will win the division, then they could be they 1206 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: could still get a Wald card though, Martin. That's why 1207 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm saying that's now you're on the road. Now you're 1208 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,680 Speaker 1: going to you're playing.

There's there some money, 1259 00:58:55,560 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: new ownership, a great loving football town and city, sleeping chain. 1260 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's I'm telling you when when the 1261 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,200 Speaker 1: Commanders are good, when they were good back in the day, man, 1262 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 1: when they were the Redskins. I trust me, guys, it's 1263 00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: rockets in the DC area when that football team is 1264 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: good and they love that. Even now as the Commanders 1265 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,000 Speaker 1: aren't good, they still show up. They still rock that 1266 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: ugly gear and cheer for that team. So Washington to me, 1267 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: and I think you have a young quarterback there, so 1268 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:24,680 Speaker 1: that's the better job right now to me. 1269 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,880 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, then Seattle, I mean, nobody wants to follow 1270 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,919 Speaker 2: the legend, right and Pete Carroll, I think no matter, 1271 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 2: even if you didn't like the way his tenure ended, 1272 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 2: he was one of the more surprising firings. 1273 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,440 Speaker 1: Yep, through the the in Seattle. 1274 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 2: This in the NFL's carousel right now, I think Washington 1275 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 2: is a better job as well, especially when you consider 1276 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 2: the NFC East has been topsy turvy yep, every year, 1277 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 2: every single year you had, I mean, nobody wins it 1278 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 2: back to back years. The Eagles, I mean, the Eagles 1279 00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:55,680 Speaker 2: almost fired their head coach. Mike McCarthy's going in as 1280 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 2: a lame duck head coach this year. He's not getting 1281 00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 2: a contract extension. 1282 00:59:59,240 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: You know. 1283 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 2: The the tides can change, Yeah, in the NFC East 1284 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 2: a little bit faster than I think in the NFC West, 1285 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 2: where I imagine very much like the. 1286 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: AFC West, yet got to deal with the forty nine 1287 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 1: ers exactly, and the Rams and and and listen, we 1288 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,680 Speaker 1: like him or not. Kylin Murray is healthy, so he'll 1289 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: be back all of next year.

Don't bury Arizona just yet, ladies. 1292 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: It was Arizona team that fought hard last year when 1293 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 1: he got back. Dude, they were in every game. You 1294 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,439 Speaker 1: called him going out the Philly and winning that game. 1295 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 1: I did so exactly. So, hey, do not bury the 1296 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals guys. Tyler Kyler, Kyler is the real deal. I 1297 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: know people don't like run around quarterbacks or whatever we're 1298 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: going through in society today, but Kyler Murray. Guys. Yeah, 1299 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,840 Speaker 1: but like you said, I mean, you want to go 1300 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: to Washington where it's kind of topsy turvy. We don't 1301 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: know what's up with Dallas. We don't know. Dallas and 1302 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Philly could be looking for new coaches the next office season, 1303 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 1: all three of them could. Yeah, oh yeah. The Giants, well, nah, 1304 01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 1: I think Dable, I think I put it they have 1305 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: any Dable If they have another year like they hey, 1306 01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: this year be ugly. It could be ugly, and there 1307 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,080 Speaker 1: could be some tough conversations privately to have. I don't 1308 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 1: I think Dable is good for at least the next 1309 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 1: two seasons. I do not think they'll fire him next year. 1310 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be that bad. They had a 1311 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of big time injuries, and they were down to 1312 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 1: a guy talking about chicken cutlets and bragging that he 1313 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,880 Speaker 1: was still living at home with his parents playing quarterback. 1314 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,800 Speaker 1: So that's never gonna look good and come out on 1315 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: the back end on the positive.

If it was Rabel, I 1320 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 1: would I think Rabel would work better in Seattle because 1321 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 1: out there you're gonna need physicality, you're gonna need his 1322 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: brand of football.

Uh, 1407 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,160 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, you know again, multiple wildcard appearances in the 1408 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 2: last couple of years. But the number one guy who 1409 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,160 Speaker 2: was available right now was Bill Belichick, and it looks 1410 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 2: like he will remain available. He's not really being LinkedIn 1411 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 2: in these other jobs. And somehow a guy who has 1412 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 2: six titles by himself as a head coach, eight all 1413 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 2: together as a member of a coaching staff is not 1414 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 2: going to be on a coaching staff this season, it appears. 1415 01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 1: I think Bill Belichick is probably one of the best 1416 01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 1: football minds ever, but there are a lot of really 1417 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: great football minds in coaches that don't get a chance 1418 01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: to win Super Bowls or win a lot. You don't 1419 01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 1: know football, you can't coach. It's a lot that goes 1420 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,680 Speaker 1: into the NFL. Fifty three guys on the roster, fifteen 1421 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: on the practice squad, trainers, position guys, assistant position guys, consultants, 1422 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:15,560 Speaker 1: front office. There's so much that is involved with this man. 1423 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 1: But like I always say, with any sport, the leader 1424 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 1: is always going to be the reason why you're winning 1425 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 1: your great and their leader was Tom Brady. Even though 1426 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,800 Speaker 1: he's the head coach. The leader the face the franchise, 1427 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,240 Speaker 1: the heartbeat of that franchise for so long was Tom Brady. 1428 01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,120 Speaker 1: Once Tom Brady left, Bill Belichick still is a fine, 1429 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 1: brilliant football mind, but you just don't have that other 1430 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,439 Speaker 1: asset that you had that put you over the top. 1431 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: Not to just put you over the top. They've fallen 1432 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: from grace once Tom Brady left there. They went from 1433 01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 1: nine I think to seven to what three or four 1434 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 1: wins in a season for Bill Belichick shows how much 1435 01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady met. I think that's kind of damaged his 1436 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,600 Speaker 1: rep a little bit. Look, we know you a great guy, 1437 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: but you know you you after TV twelve left, Bro, 1438 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 1: we haven't We haven't heard from you, Like, no one's 1439 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 1: scared to go up to Fox Brow and play you anymore. 1440 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 1: You're not in the playoffs, you're not in a conversation 1441 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: of wild card like by week six nothing, You're your 1442 01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,680 Speaker 1: franchise has not even talked about. We know you're still 1443 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: a great coach, but we don't have Tom Brady neither here, 1444 01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: so we're gonna bring you in. We better damn near 1445 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,680 Speaker 1: have a Tom Brady type guy for you to be successful. 1446 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it. But at the 1447 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: end of the day too, he just comes off as still, uh, 1448 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, this is the way we've done it. It's 1449 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,439 Speaker 1: just basically the old grumpy guy. Like for instance, when 1450 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 1: the report was that he was meeting with the Falcons 1451 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,800 Speaker 1: the second time, it wasn't meeting with the team. The 1452 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: report was he's meeting with Arthur Blank, which means what, No, No, 1453 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: it is a little different because sometimes when you meet 1454 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 1: there's the GM, there's the VP, there's there's other people 1455 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: in the room. I think when I when I heard 1456 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: that he's meeting with Arthur Blank, I believe that's him 1457 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,960 Speaker 1: and author Blank, maybe one other person. No, I ain't 1458 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: hear with that, but sitting down, that's the decision maker, 1459 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,880 Speaker 1: exact the end of the day. Own, these guys are 1460 01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,919 Speaker 1: gonna be signing that check every every week. To Belichick, 1461 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: he's the decision maker. But when you're a great owner, 1462 01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,680 Speaker 1: being a decision maker, you still gotta go back to 1463 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 1: the people that are under you and about this second meeting, 1464 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and I believe there might have been some pushback from 1465 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,280 Speaker 1: certain people there who I don't care about his six 1466 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,720 Speaker 1: rings in New England. It's an older he's it's he's 1467 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,400 Speaker 1: an older mind. The game is getting younger, the coaches 1468 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 1: are getting younger. Just everything about the about sports period, 1469 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,679 Speaker 1: it's starting to change. We've seen Harvard n Alli college, 1470 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,639 Speaker 1: we saw Nick Saban retire. We saw Bill Belichick said, 1471 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,839 Speaker 1: you know he's done in New England. He could be done. Period. 1472 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I just think that the game is the time is 1473 01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 1: passing him by. It's okay, this is what happens. It 1474 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 1: happened to Bill Parcells, it happened to Tom Landry. Tom 1475 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,880 Speaker 1: Landry was a legendary coach, won multiple Super bowl But 1476 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 1: it does become a time where they go, yeah, we're 1477 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 1: gonna go with this young Jimmy Johnson, guy who just 1478 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: won a national championship with the Miami Hurricanes. People back then, Martay, 1479 01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's what I'm mistake. Are you kidding me? 1480 01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: Tom Lardy can't find a job. No, he can't. The 1481 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 1: game has passed them by. The games passed Bill Belichick. 1482 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,240 Speaker 1: But I wholeheartedly disagree. Okay, but the games passed Bill Belichick. 1483 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:12,879 Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly disagree. 1484 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 2: Even even even with the offensive struggles that this team had, 1485 01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:18,760 Speaker 2: Like this was great. I'm saying, like this was great, 1486 01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,080 Speaker 2: The defense was great, and you know the biggest thing 1487 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 2: was Mac Jones is not at the starting quarterback in 1488 01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 2: the NFL. 1489 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 1: That was my takeaway. Yeah, that's my takeaway. 1490 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 2: Like when I was sitting there watching these games and 1491 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 2: barely's app He's no great shakes either. 1492 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 1: He was just better than Mac Jones. My guy, period 1493 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 1: of time. My guy. It's our guy though, come on, man, 1494 01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 1: we both like that. 1495 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 2: But the idea, like I've heard people say, like, oh, 1496 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,639 Speaker 2: who wants to see their organization over to Bill. 1497 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,560 Speaker 1: Belichick for three years? A lot of teams should, A 1498 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:44,679 Speaker 1: lot of teams should. 1499 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 2: Why aren't they? I aren't because you know what it is. 1500 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 2: You know the Wu Tang clan they say, protect your neck. 1501 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 2: This is a lot of this is a lot of 1502 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 2: you know what this is in the NFL, there's a 1503 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,639 Speaker 2: lot of protected desk. Okay, protect you protect your job 1504 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 2: because yeah, you know what, I bet that nobody in 1505 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,759 Speaker 2: Atlanta will saying that they should bring in Bill Belichick 1506 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:05,759 Speaker 2: because they're looking around. 1507 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 1: You know what it'd be like, dang, you know, well, 1508 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,640 Speaker 1: if Belichick comes in here, what am I gonna do? 1509 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,000 Speaker 1: I give that Belichick comes in here, what am I 1510 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 1: gonna do? Because you know what he's gonna do. 1511 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,640 Speaker 2: He's gonna if he doesn't bring his own people in, 1512 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 2: he's gonna say, well, you know what, I got that one. 1513 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 1: I can handle that, and then I'll be out of 1514 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,160 Speaker 1: a job. I'll give you another reason why teams aren't 1515 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 1: clamoring for him. He hasn't done well drafting, So I 1516 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 1: think that's like drafts and he wants full power. And 1517 01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 1: I think that's where you hear that who would want 1518 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: to give there? I agree with that person. I might 1519 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,560 Speaker 1: want you to coach, but I am not at this 1520 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 1: point in his career giving Bill Belichick full authority over 1521 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 1: my football franchise as far as player personnel. You have 1522 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: proven that this. 1523 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:50,600 Speaker 3: Is not what you do. 1524 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 1: No, you know that's okay. What he has proven is 1525 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 1: that he's fifteen wins away from me the winning this 1526 01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,960 Speaker 1: coach NFL is true. Come on, man, Tom Brady. You 1527 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 1: coach long enough, Tom for twenty years. You can't just trump. 1528 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: We can't just get the coach. You don't just get 1529 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: your k I just they'll just allow you to said 1530 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: he was one of the most brilliant minds in football. 1531 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,320 Speaker 2: But I know the I did is like you know, 1532 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,479 Speaker 2: you coach long enough, like like this is something that 1533 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 2: just happens, like, no, you get the coach because you 1534 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,760 Speaker 2: continue to win. That's why he's not coaching right now 1535 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 2: in the win because they ended up bottoming out the 1536 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:21,559 Speaker 2: last two years. 1537 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 1: Don't think none of that was personally. You don't think 1538 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,640 Speaker 1: none of that was him and Kraft or that. You 1539 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,360 Speaker 1: don't think none that has been boiling over the last 1540 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,720 Speaker 1: like three or four years. I think it had. I 1541 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 1: think there's been there was. I think there was some 1542 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,400 Speaker 1: things boiling over the last three or four years. Remember 1543 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 1: they bumped heads when he went to Craft Gramercraft right 1544 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: out because he's that he moved on. 1545 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 2: He's good with no Belichick. They had the look he 1546 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 2: said he wanted his franchise back. I understand that. Congratula 1547 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 2: if you are a franchise that is in the wind, 1548 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 2: like some of these head coaches like that, you don't 1549 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,920 Speaker 2: fire your head coach. You're doing such a great job. 1550 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 2: You're talking about, Oh, I gotta see my, my, my, 1551 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,200 Speaker 2: my franchise. My operation over the Bill Belichick for three years. 1552 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 2: Well you know, if you're in the world, you seen 1553 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,639 Speaker 2: it over the Dennis Allen for three years. 1554 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,800 Speaker 1: You know, Arthur Smith had it for three years coach 1555 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:10,040 Speaker 1: fifty one total games, like they're names that we're talking 1556 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 1: about here. 1557 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 2: Dave Canalis, do you know if he's gonna be a 1558 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 2: good head coach? I sure don't. Antonio Pierce, do you 1559 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 2: know if he's gonna be a good coach? 1560 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,040 Speaker 1: I sure don't. And you know what the other thing 1561 01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: about NFL head coaches, nobody knows who's gonna be a 1562 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 1: good head coach because they fire five to eight of 1563 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 1: them every single year, every offseason, five to eight of 1564 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: them are gone. So you made it. Tell me you'd 1565 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: rather take a shot on this guy who's on a 1566 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: guy like. 1567 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, who has had a year and a half 1568 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,880 Speaker 2: of calling good offenses. You'll take a shot on him 1569 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,759 Speaker 2: before a guy who's won six super Bowls? 1570 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 1: It's crazy talk. Well, yes, six crazy balls, six six 1571 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: super Bowls? And what is he? Sixty eight sixty nine 1572 01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 1: to seventy? How Patrick? How old is Bill Belichick? If 1573 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:50,679 Speaker 1: you could for a second, bro, if you can't hold 1574 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 1: I just want to know how Bill Belichick is because 1575 01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 1: I get what you're listen. I don't think I'm I 1576 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: don't think I'm disagreeing with you, but would I hand 1577 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 1: the part I am disagree with you on is once again, 1578 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 1: when I hand my franchise over a young team. Bill 1579 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 1: Belichick doesn't have patience for young players, man, like, so 1580 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't Barry have patience for young players? What about 1581 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,559 Speaker 1: Matt Ruhle, like the list of NFL failed head coaches 1582 01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: as long as the day, as why as as why 1583 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:21,559 Speaker 1: do you think he should just get a job because 1584 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 1: he's Bill bell like forever, No, forever, just get a 1585 01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,680 Speaker 1: job forever. I think I would try part two. I 1586 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 1: would just try. I would try part two. I don't know. 1587 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like with Pete Carroll. You don't 1588 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 1: hear Pete Carroll's name and is honestly the other guy. 1589 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,679 Speaker 1: I would try part two one seventy two, right, Pete Carroll. 1590 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,719 Speaker 1: Believe Pete Carroll. I actually just looked up the Bill Belichick. 1591 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:44,360 Speaker 1: He is seventy one, seventy one until April, he'll be 1592 01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 1: seventy two. Okay. So so going into the twenty twenty 1593 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,960 Speaker 1: four season, you have a seventy two year old, you know, 1594 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,360 Speaker 1: head coach in his first year with your team, with 1595 01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 1: like no at this point of his of his life. No, 1596 01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,639 Speaker 1: I'm not turning a young a young for like Atlanta, 1597 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,600 Speaker 1: that's a young team. I'm not turning that over to 1598 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. I will bring it. I will bring in 1599 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,679 Speaker 1: Raheem Morris, who's proven to be a good NFL coach 1600 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 1: and a good coordinator, to work with what we have 1601 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 1: and will build from there. In sports people, we have 1602 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,600 Speaker 1: to let go. I've let go, honestly, I've let go 1603 01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick when he walked away from the Patriots. Whether 1604 01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 1: he gets another coach a job or not, I'll never 1605 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 1: look at the team he's angles they can go win 1606 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,240 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. He'll just be there coaching. Go ahead, Patrick, 1607 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 1: And to kind of chime in with just as a comparison, 1608 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is actually, would you believe, seventy to one, 1609 01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 1: not even one full year apart from Belichick, and just 1610 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: you look at both of them. They're both old, but 1611 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 1: like Pete looks like he Pete still he's still going 1612 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 1: passes to the receivers. He's still running up and down 1613 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 1: the sideline pre game. Yeah, and Belichick's only less than 1614 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 1: a year younger than him. Like wow, But right now, 1615 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,679 Speaker 1: I mean, we just can't deny that the two super 1616 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,640 Speaker 1: Bowl winning coaches, two great football minds. I get it. 1617 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,200 Speaker 1: But at some point you have to just go with 1618 01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:01,200 Speaker 1: what's coming in and move forward. How is Robert Sola? 1619 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,760 Speaker 1: No one gives it damn because he loses. That's the point. Yeah, 1620 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,560 Speaker 1: but what you had to But that's the point. No, 1621 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,519 Speaker 1: that's not fair. He pointed he proved us, he proved 1622 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 1: himself and got a shot. It saying he didn't deserve 1623 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 1: his shot. I'm not saying he did deserve his opportunity. 1624 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 1: None of the names I'm saying, except for maybe Cliff 1625 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: Kingsbury would I say did not deserve coach, would be 1626 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:22,240 Speaker 1: an NFL head coach. 1627 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 2: But the point that I'm trying to make is one 1628 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 2: of these guys is fifteen wins away from the all 1629 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 2: time record, and the rest of them are not. 1630 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 1: And the idea that look, that means he's old. It 1631 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: also means he is old. It also means he's successful. Yeah, 1632 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,559 Speaker 1: what has been? Yes, he has been. It's just it's old. 1633 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,360 Speaker 1: It's we have to let it go. Mar you gotta 1634 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 1: let the Belichick thing go. It's crazy. You gotta Belichick thing, 1635 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 1: that's crazy talk. We gotta go now. 1636 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,599 Speaker 2: If Loraina is calling me names everything but a child 1637 01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,519 Speaker 2: of God, because I won't go to break. Coming up next, 1638 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,680 Speaker 2: the NBA scorer's out of control. It's completely broken. Is 1639 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 2: there anything we can do to fix it? Martin VJ, 1640 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Martin and VJ coming to your line 1641 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,000 Speaker 2: from the tire rack dot Com Studios. You can get 1642 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,960 Speaker 2: us on Twitter at Martin Wise, vj's at Big Vanilla, 1643 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:03,920 Speaker 2: Funny and. 1644 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 1: VJA. I gotta ask you, man, because we have seen 1645 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 1: to me would have been what feels like it should 1646 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 1: be historic. But if something happens all the time, is it? 1647 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 2: Because right now in the NBA, before this week, three 1648 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,760 Speaker 2: times in NBA history had multiple players scored sixty more 1649 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:25,599 Speaker 2: points on the same day. Now it's been done twice 1650 01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,720 Speaker 2: this week. Luka, Doncis and Devin Booker last night and 1651 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 2: then Monday night. Embiid at Karl Anthony Towns Embiid who 1652 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,000 Speaker 2: famously set out and had people in Denver. 1653 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,679 Speaker 1: Shouting where is embiid at? 1654 01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 2: I counted this up. Since Wednesday, there's been twenty eight 1655 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,200 Speaker 2: NBA games. Fourteen of them were decided with a margin 1656 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,080 Speaker 2: of greater than twenty points. NBA scoring is broken, hasn't broken. 1657 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,759 Speaker 2: The defense has broken. It's just it's a bad product. 1658 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 4: Man. 1659 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to keep beating the same dead horse. 1660 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: It's the same stick. But the numbers don't lie. Like 1661 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,840 Speaker 1: when you really go and pull up just for the years. 1662 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 1: You don't even have to go year to year. You 1663 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 1: can go every ten years, every five years earlier throughout 1664 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 1: the stat as far as from the ninety nine to 1665 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 1: two thousand season, ninety six ninety one excuse me, point 1666 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: six points per game is what the average was in 1667 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: the league. Today, it's one fourteen point seven. The assists 1668 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,080 Speaker 1: are only up five, so you're scoring way more, but 1669 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 1: only dishing the ball off. Steals are down, blocks are down. 1670 01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: Field goals are up from thirty four field goal field 1671 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 1: goal may a game per teen now it's forty two. 1672 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Like it's just it's it doesn't add up. The reboundings down, 1673 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 1: the steals are down, like the numbers are showing. People 1674 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 1: are not committed. You watched Luca last night, and I 1675 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 1: watched the game twice because when I first saw it, 1676 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: I said, Okay, this is just crazy, this like this this, 1677 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,720 Speaker 1: this can't be this bad. You go back and watch 1678 01:18:55,880 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: Atlanta again. Their defense was horrible, so Luca wasn't He 1679 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 1: wasn't just going for his like Kat was a few 1680 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,800 Speaker 1: nights ago, got called out by his own coach. You 1681 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 1: ever see a coach get called call out a player 1682 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:12,800 Speaker 1: after he shot playoff, after he dropped sixty? Have you 1683 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,000 Speaker 1: ever seen but he saw you, dad? He was going, 1684 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,120 Speaker 1: I did to Oh my god, that was outstanding. Are 1685 01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,599 Speaker 1: you kidding me? That was outstanding? Put Chris Finch. Put 1686 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,120 Speaker 1: your players in check. Put these young bucks in check. 1687 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,200 Speaker 1: Yeah you got sixty, but everyone in the arena can 1688 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,719 Speaker 1: see it was a greedy gunning from my own points, 1689 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: gunning for my own success and not thinking about the team, 1690 01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,639 Speaker 1: and you lost. Devin Booker has sixty two, and they 1691 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 1: lost because Devin's out there gunning for his numbers, gunning 1692 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,479 Speaker 1: for this this notoriety where it's so easy to score 1693 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,600 Speaker 1: in the league. Once they banned hand checking about the 1694 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:48,759 Speaker 1: three point line, game over, no one could play defense, 1695 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: No one even really boxx Watch an NBA game and 1696 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: watch a shot go out. Count how many people turn 1697 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 1: and put a butt on somebody like you're talk to do, 1698 01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: turn and put a butt on somebody and box out. 1699 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: Just watch one game in right down. How many times 1700 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,639 Speaker 1: you think that happens. I'll tell you what The other 1701 01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: thing is too We had too many. 1702 01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 2: We have the influx of calculators and slide rules, and 1703 01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 2: you advocates nerds have just decided I get it, don't 1704 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:11,599 Speaker 2: get me wrong. 1705 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,840 Speaker 1: Three is better the two. Three is bigger the two. 1706 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 2: But that's why you see such a disparity in scoring, 1707 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 2: because everybody's optimizing the best way to win when instead 1708 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,200 Speaker 2: of thinking about what's the like that is my sound counterintuitive, 1709 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,800 Speaker 2: but what's the best way to not lose? Like, what's 1710 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 2: the best way to raise my floor? So night in 1711 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 2: and night out, I'm putting out a consistent product. 1712 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 4: Right. 1713 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,280 Speaker 2: The best way to do that is get into the line, 1714 01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:36,519 Speaker 2: get into the rim efficiency. I know that a three 1715 01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,120 Speaker 2: point shot is one point more than a two point shot. 1716 01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 2: I understand that, but they got it, in my opinion, shrink, 1717 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,840 Speaker 2: shrink the paint, and extend the three point line to 1718 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,000 Speaker 2: make these shots harder because something has got to give. 1719 01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 1: We're just making play defense again. Coming up next, we'll. 1720 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,920 Speaker 2: Talk about the NFC Championship full breakdown Martin and VJ, 1721 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. 1722 01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:00,160 Speaker 1: VJ, would you look at that the Milwaukee Bucks. 1723 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,600 Speaker 2: Have a thirty point lead just about on the on 1724 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 2: the New Orleans Species, I'm just saying, wait, what was that? 1725 01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,800 Speaker 1: Another NBA blowout? Who saw it coming? I know I 1726 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,320 Speaker 1: was about to say where why would that even happen? 1727 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:14,559 Speaker 1: And no, Chris Middleton and you still are winning by 1728 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: thirty points against the Pails, who have all their guys. 1729 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,240 Speaker 1: Go figure at least the big threes all suited up 1730 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 1: playing to night McCullough Ingram's ion. But you know, I 1731 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: saw a tweet. Everybody in the NBA is going for 1732 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,719 Speaker 1: forty except for Brandon Ingram. 1733 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 2: We're broadcasting a lot from the tirack dot com studios 1734 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:34,720 Speaker 2: at tire rack dot com will help you get there 1735 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 2: with an unmaxual election, fast free shipping fruit as a 1736 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:39,400 Speaker 2: protection over ten thousand recommend to the starllars tire rack 1737 01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 2: dot Com. 1738 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 1: It's the way the tire buying should be. VJ. 1739 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,880 Speaker 2: We've danced around it, we've talked around it. Let's go 1740 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 2: ahead and get it on wax. As the Rappers in 1741 01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 2: the eighties would say, who have an NFC Championship game? 1742 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,640 Speaker 2: Is upon US Santa Clara, California. The loss it was 1743 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,599 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles to San Francisco forty nine ers against 1744 01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,840 Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. Tyler Dragons says Lions just happy to 1745 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 2: be here. San Francisco has got to have all the 1746 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 2: pressure on them at this moment, seeing as they've had 1747 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,879 Speaker 2: all of these different conference championship appearances, super Bowl appearances 1748 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 2: and have yet to come away with the Big Kahuna. 1749 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,799 Speaker 1: All the pressure is on San Francisco. There's no pressure 1750 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,120 Speaker 1: on the Lions, and I think that's why the Lions 1751 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 1: win this game tomorrow. Last week I said, I know 1752 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 1: that I told you the Packers would be in that game. 1753 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 1: They would be in that game late, and they should 1754 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: have won the game. Party tried to throw the game away. 1755 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: They dropped two interceptions. One was going to be a 1756 01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 1: pick six because there's nobody in front of him, So 1757 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:39,000 Speaker 1: they gave the game away and had a chance to win. 1758 01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 1: Outrush them, then out pass because Party had some late 1759 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 1: fourth quarter drops where they it's in there and throw mode, 1760 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 1: and then Christian finished it off with the run up 1761 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 1: the middle. But I just like the Lions, man, I 1762 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 1: really do. This is not a fluke, This is not 1763 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,639 Speaker 1: an anomaly. This is who they are. They are tough 1764 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: minded team. They got some hos their secondary's week, we 1765 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,600 Speaker 1: know that, but they have a great past us. I 1766 01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,640 Speaker 1: think Aden Hutchison gets off tomorrow, line him up on 1767 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 1: the right side. I would never line him up of 1768 01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,559 Speaker 1: over trip Williams. Why would you do that? And that's 1769 01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,599 Speaker 1: not to take anything away from Aiden saying he can't 1770 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,680 Speaker 1: get past him or he can't beat them, But why 1771 01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,000 Speaker 1: not just attack the we matchup, attack the week side 1772 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,960 Speaker 1: all game long. Who wons some of debos suiting up 1773 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,880 Speaker 1: and playing Oh surprise, surprise? What the hell is he 1774 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna do? Not play? He has to play, so he's 1775 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 1: not he's not well, he's not healed. So if I'm 1776 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 1: the Lions, hey, little extra weight when you land on him. 1777 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,320 Speaker 1: He's not a quarterback like you want to knock a 1778 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 1: guy out of the game. If you know, if you 1779 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,760 Speaker 1: guys already hurt, you're gonna go for that. So watch 1780 01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 1: him lowering the shoulder, go fighting for extra yards. These 1781 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 1: are things that are all gonna really matter. Brandon Ayuk. 1782 01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,680 Speaker 1: I think they have the secondary or have at least 1783 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,000 Speaker 1: a corner or two that can line up in front 1784 01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 1: of them. I just think the Lions make all the 1785 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:55,560 Speaker 1: surprise plays. Purdy is not played well his last for 1786 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,680 Speaker 1: the last month. It wasn't just last week, wasn't just 1787 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:03,840 Speaker 1: week yeah, played well in the last month. It's shirt like, oh, 1788 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:06,680 Speaker 1: you know what, ball? Wet ball? Okay, cool, It's a 1789 01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 1: lot harder to throw wetball than the try ball. But 1790 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 1: what was the weather like when Baltimore came to ten 1791 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 1: on Christmas night and blitz them with the defense that 1792 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:20,320 Speaker 1: he could not read and threw four interceptions? Like, stop it, people. 1793 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 1: This has been He's been able to get covered up 1794 01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 1: by his teams. But I think that all and every year, 1795 01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 1: every other year, there's always a conference championship game that 1796 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 1: has an upset. We didn't get that last year. I 1797 01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,599 Speaker 1: believe we get that this year. San Francisco would lose 1798 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:40,880 Speaker 1: their second three. The Eagles were were underdogs in that game, 1799 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,840 Speaker 1: but they did, which didn't matter. I'm weird, yeah, which, 1800 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 1: but that was weird to me because they're playing at home. 1801 01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:47,880 Speaker 1: How the hell is the home team? That game was 1802 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:49,519 Speaker 1: in field. How the hell is the home team in 1803 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 1: the conference championship the underdog. Maybe home team gets a 1804 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 1: good team in the regular season, maybe wild card round, 1805 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: but division and conference round and chip game, the home 1806 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: team's gotta beat the favorite. Once you get this far, 1807 01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,040 Speaker 1: we get down to the last four. I also like 1808 01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 1: this offense for the Lions, I really do have a 1809 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 1: great offensive line. They're gonna be able to run the football. 1810 01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 1: Mark my words, guys, They're gonna be able to run 1811 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,960 Speaker 1: the football. The San Francisco defense has been susceptible to 1812 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: the run, and their top five and four offensive categories 1813 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 1: third and ring offense, second and passing, fifth in rushing, 1814 01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:21,200 Speaker 1: fifth in scoring that travels at about this point in 1815 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 1: the year, They're not gonna lose that tomorrow. I like 1816 01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 1: them thirty one to twenty two to twenty three. I 1817 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,880 Speaker 1: think that defense holds pretty down party throw. They don't 1818 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 1: drop an interception tomorrow. That Detroit's not gonna drop an interception. 1819 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,439 Speaker 1: RW if he puts it into a white jersey's hand, 1820 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm assuming they'll be wearing that white jersey because I'm 1821 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 1: assuming San Fan's gonna wear the red and the gold pants. 1822 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 1: He if he puts it into the hands of a 1823 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,960 Speaker 1: guy wearing a white jersey and a silver helmet, this game, 1824 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,360 Speaker 1: this game is over, and oh my god, dare I 1825 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 1: say the Detroit Lions will be going on to the 1826 01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in Vegas in two weeks. I'm with the line. 1827 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 1: Give me the line, definitely give me to him cover seven. 1828 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 1: Definitely give me to give him to me to cover 1829 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,479 Speaker 1: and give me the over on the fifty one and 1830 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 1: a half. Give me the lines for the win. Here 1831 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,000 Speaker 1: man to upset the censumscore forty nine ers and marks 1832 01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl Martin. 1833 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, you know, I think we look at the 1834 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 2: Lions secondary, we look at both secondaries. I think Shavarius 1835 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 2: Ward for the Niners is a star. Oh yeah, he's 1836 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 2: a very good player. And I think you look at CJ. 1837 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,479 Speaker 2: Gardner Johnson, he's also a star who has been hurt. 1838 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 2: Only played in three games this year for Detroit. Yep, right, 1839 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,880 Speaker 2: many things happened though, But yeah, that's kind of he. 1840 01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 2: I mean, you saw he was Johnny on the spot 1841 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 2: with the interceptions in Baker Mayfield early in the. 1842 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:39,679 Speaker 1: Game off the receivers hands. But I mean, I believe 1843 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 1: he was there to catch it. That's what I'm saying. 1844 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,639 Speaker 1: Johnny on the spot like it better than be luggy 1845 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:44,320 Speaker 1: and good. You know. 1846 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he is the type of guy to me 1847 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 2: that is a difference maker. Back there, you got Brian 1848 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:53,160 Speaker 2: Branch in the nickel slot. In the nickel spot, that's 1849 01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 2: gonna help take away some of the multiplicity that the 1850 01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 2: forty nine ers offer on offense, especially when you look 1851 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:03,360 Speaker 2: at Deebo and Christian mc caffrey, who can play kind 1852 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 2: of the same position, right or you know, that's that's all. 1853 01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,719 Speaker 2: That's San Francisco's the whole bag is playing the guys 1854 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 2: in different spots and being able to really say, look 1855 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 2: that our twelve personnel is different than your twelve personnel 1856 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,839 Speaker 2: because when we have two backs on the field. 1857 01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 1: You don't know what they're gonna do. Uh, we might 1858 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,360 Speaker 1: have a wide receiver can play running back. You might 1859 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 1: have a running back and play wide receiver. You know, 1860 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,040 Speaker 1: all of that back and forth there. I do think 1861 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 1: Detroit has the better line. And again, I'm with you. 1862 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,160 Speaker 1: I thought the lights got bright for Brock. I get 1863 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,080 Speaker 1: it was raining, and you know what, maybe again, maybe 1864 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,160 Speaker 1: this this is gonna be real bright tomorrow. 1865 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 2: Brom Boy to say, clip this if you think if 1866 01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:40,600 Speaker 2: I'm dead wrong about this and put it in the 1867 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:43,000 Speaker 2: hype video for the Super Bowl for the forty nine ers, 1868 01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,240 Speaker 2: if that's the case. But I think that when you 1869 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,679 Speaker 2: look at this Lion's defense and the forty nine ers defenses, 1870 01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,160 Speaker 2: both of their weaknesses are in the secondary. But when 1871 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,479 Speaker 2: you look at the Lions secondary, I think they have 1872 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 2: a lot of good I mean, between CJ and Brian Branch, 1873 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,000 Speaker 2: they have better players in the secondary than the forty 1874 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 2: nine ers do because they lost Hufunga earlier in the season. Now, 1875 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,240 Speaker 2: I think Fred Warner and Drake Greenlaw probably the two 1876 01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:07,679 Speaker 2: best inside backers in the game. 1877 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: But tandem, I don't know one too But as far 1878 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: as tandem goes to me, that's the best. 1879 01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 2: I think tandem, I would say is probably ro Quand 1880 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,600 Speaker 2: Smith and Patrick Queen. But I'm saying just they're just 1881 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:22,560 Speaker 2: they're just there's there's some of the best, right, you 1882 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I don't know if I just 1883 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:26,880 Speaker 2: said the best, but there's some of the best. But 1884 01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 2: you know, the Lions are going to be down to 1885 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,640 Speaker 2: one tight end with with Sam Laporter's the only one 1886 01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:34,840 Speaker 2: tight end, the only tight end healthy is it's going 1887 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,559 Speaker 2: to be even on the roster as zach Ertz didn't 1888 01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 2: get elevated. So you wonder just how how much of 1889 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 2: the passing game is going to be tight end linebacker focused? Right, 1890 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,800 Speaker 2: And y'all, I'll tell you this. You put Alm on Ross, 1891 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 2: you put one of those guys on arm On Ross 1892 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 2: Saint Brown, good luck you know that's yeah, that's asking 1893 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:52,559 Speaker 2: for trouble. 1894 01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:53,240 Speaker 1: Good luck on that. 1895 01:28:53,360 --> 01:28:56,000 Speaker 2: Well like that, they don't have a Brian Branch type 1896 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,719 Speaker 2: who can come down and take out Deebo in the slot, 1897 01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 2: take out Christian mccaffre in the slot. And I think 1898 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,240 Speaker 2: ultimately is gonna come down and running the ball, which 1899 01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 2: forty nine ers have a good running game. I'm not 1900 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,360 Speaker 2: trying to take anything away from that, but Lions two 1901 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,760 Speaker 2: headed monster at David Montgomery and Jamior Gibbs is the 1902 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,960 Speaker 2: ultimate thunder and lightning that we've used that we've seen 1903 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 2: in the past of Mike Alstott and work done to 1904 01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 2: the first to come to mind that Montgomery's a little 1905 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:21,360 Speaker 2: bit smaller than Mike Allstar. 1906 01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,439 Speaker 1: Well that's because Mike alf stopped, you know, was a 1907 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 1: true he was really he was really a fullback from 1908 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 1: the eighties, playing and running back in the nineties early 1909 01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 1: two thousands. 1910 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 2: But I like Detroit's ability to move the ball on 1911 01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 2: the ground on this team. And if that's the case, 1912 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:37,840 Speaker 2: they're gonna move Jared Golf around. It's not gonna be 1913 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 2: able to just tee off though, swing him away from 1914 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 2: Bosa to swing him away from Armstead and be able 1915 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:43,280 Speaker 2: to Then you got a guy. 1916 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 1: Jared Golf has gone a playoff rount. Jared Goff has 1917 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 1: played in US. About to say he's played in the 1918 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:49,439 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I'm not. Look. 1919 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 2: I know that we gave Sean McVay a ton of 1920 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,160 Speaker 2: credit for that run, but Jared Golf is still the 1921 01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,559 Speaker 2: guy out. Even if Sean McVay was in there telling 1922 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,240 Speaker 2: him exactly where to throw the ball with fifteen seconds 1923 01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 2: left on the play clif Jared still had to go 1924 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:04,320 Speaker 2: out there and do it. He's only had one bone 1925 01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:07,760 Speaker 2: headed play this entire postseason. Yeah, it was just the 1926 01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:09,680 Speaker 2: one when Aaron Donald got a hold of him. He 1927 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:11,880 Speaker 2: tried the chest pass it across and it ended up 1928 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,000 Speaker 2: being a fumble. Could have been a disaster, wasn't a disaster. 1929 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,960 Speaker 2: He was scared. But when you look at okay, so 1930 01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 2: that's one. Whatever you want to call it, let's call it. 1931 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,240 Speaker 2: If you truck up the bone headed plays. Rock Party 1932 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 2: had five times just medic in the NFC Championship Game, 1933 01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,519 Speaker 2: an NFC Division game, than Jared GoF did. 1934 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. Also too, for the forty nine ers to win 1935 01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,400 Speaker 1: this game, I think they have to create some turnovers 1936 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 1: for the Lions forty nine ers or plus ten in 1937 01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 1: a turnover differential bracket. This year Lion's only plus two, 1938 01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,480 Speaker 1: so both teams can capitalize. But I think San Francisco 1939 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,519 Speaker 1: at home. Anytime the role team is turning the ball 1940 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 1: over in a conference championship game on the road, that's 1941 01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:56,960 Speaker 1: big for the home team. It's like even with the 1942 01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,680 Speaker 1: AFC game, if Kansasity turns the ball over game over, 1943 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: Detroit turns the ball over game over, San Francisco will 1944 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 1: win this game running away if they protect the ball, 1945 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,599 Speaker 1: run the football, workoff play action. Now. Last week, one 1946 01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:14,920 Speaker 1: of the best blitzing defensive minds in the in the 1947 01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: game in the NFL is God. I don't know why 1948 01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:21,400 Speaker 1: his name is gonna slip my mind right now, coach 1949 01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 1: for the UH for the Buccaneers. I'm so sorry, lady, 1950 01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 1: but thank you. I always get him and Raheem Morris. 1951 01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 1: I just want to cross those guys. I don't know anyway. 1952 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,040 Speaker 1: I know, God see setting me up. Listen, I don't 1953 01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:33,760 Speaker 1: care how lights getting the blue as I am. I'm black. 1954 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,600 Speaker 1: Listen if they're gonna blitz like he was trying to 1955 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 1: blitz last week and then didn't know when to bring 1956 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,599 Speaker 1: it off, when when the layoff, and when to come 1957 01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 1: at golf. That's how golf started really choosing when to 1958 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:47,880 Speaker 1: pick them apart. Didn't play calling with Ben Johnson. They 1959 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:50,800 Speaker 1: just got into a zone where if you blitz him, 1960 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 1: they have the guys on the outside to win. And 1961 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,600 Speaker 1: you got Laporta and you got Jamier Gibbs out of 1962 01:31:56,680 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 1: the backfield. I'm telling you, guys, if they sit back 1963 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,560 Speaker 1: and you're just gonna let people run free because you 1964 01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,760 Speaker 1: can't grab it touch anybody at that point, you're letting 1965 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:09,439 Speaker 1: golf just pick you apart. I'm telling you guys. And 1966 01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,519 Speaker 1: the sating about the Packers last week, be careful with 1967 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,040 Speaker 1: this Lions team tomorrow. People that think they just hear 1968 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:17,559 Speaker 1: happy to be hearing the Niners got that bad game. 1969 01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,680 Speaker 1: I heard someone say this morning, Well, if they got 1970 01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 1: the bad game out of their system, they didn't play 1971 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,400 Speaker 1: a bad game. Their quarterback played a bad game. They 1972 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,320 Speaker 1: didn't play a bad game. But the best, the worst 1973 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:32,040 Speaker 1: superstar name on the field last Saturday night between the 1974 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 1: Packers and the Niners was Brock Purdy. That can't happen. 1975 01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 1: If that happens again tomorrow, the Lions are marching off 1976 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:40,760 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. But I just like the lines 1977 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: to win this game. Love the offense. I don't think 1978 01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 1: there's much that's gonna shake this team. I don't find 1979 01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,720 Speaker 1: them going into this game nervous, and I think they 1980 01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 1: have the right head coach who people teased when he 1981 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,960 Speaker 1: cried after a loss and said they were gonna be 1982 01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:58,080 Speaker 1: biting kneecaps in his introductory to be sure it was valid. 1983 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,439 Speaker 1: I give no I did. I'm not me. I get 1984 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 1: I get the guy. I'm old enough to remember when 1985 01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:04,880 Speaker 1: he played, like you could you can look at a 1986 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,000 Speaker 1: football player, just tell what some guys are gonna say. 1987 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,639 Speaker 1: If you put a suit on him and put him 1988 01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 1: in a boat, you you could probably tell what you're 1989 01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:12,920 Speaker 1: gonna get. But I got where he was coming from, 1990 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:14,719 Speaker 1: and that's what he's done for this city. 1991 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 4: Man. 1992 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:18,200 Speaker 1: And I think now with Michigan win the National Championship, 1993 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't it just be great at the Detroit Lions went 1994 01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,840 Speaker 1: to the damn Super Bowl. Bro, I'm picking him to 1995 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 1: win this game tomorrow. Give me the lines. It would be. 1996 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,920 Speaker 1: It would be wild. It's hard to believe if somebody 1997 01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,559 Speaker 1: who covered this team through the some of the leaner years, 1998 01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:33,680 Speaker 1: not the Leonas, but some of the leaner ones that 1999 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:34,800 Speaker 1: think that they are even in the. 2000 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:37,000 Speaker 3: No I was. 2001 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,040 Speaker 2: I was there, but I wasn't working at that point 2002 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,400 Speaker 2: in time. But coming up next, we'll break down the 2003 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,960 Speaker 2: AFC Championship game. Uh Tyler Dragon says, this one is 2004 01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,479 Speaker 2: the A side. Patrick Mahomes Lamar Jackson the one seed 2005 01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:51,000 Speaker 2: in the AFC for the AFC Championship Game. 2006 01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,720 Speaker 1: We'll break that one down next.

I was about 2013 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,000 Speaker 1: to read a tweet, but full disclosure, just kicked my 2014 01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:13,600 Speaker 1: phone onto the ground, so I have to do it. 2015 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 2: In just a minute, Patrick Mahomes, I asked you see 2016 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:20,800 Speaker 2: Anthony Davis limp to the sidelines, going back towards the locker. 2017 01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:22,800 Speaker 2: Chief De Saga will be all over that in about 2018 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 2: eight minutes when we kick it to him to update 2019 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:26,120 Speaker 2: us on everything going on in the. 2020 01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:26,879 Speaker 1: World of sports. 2021 01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:30,839 Speaker 2: But right now, let's talk about the big game tomorrow 2022 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,839 Speaker 2: AFC Championship. For the first time in half a decade, 2023 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 2: AFC Championship game is not being held in Kansas City, 2024 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,000 Speaker 2: but Kansas City is still participating in said matchup as 2025 01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:45,080 Speaker 2: the Ravens host this one at Mt Bank Stadium VJ. 2026 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 1: Where you getting started with this one. I could give 2027 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:49,479 Speaker 1: a bunch of numbers with this one, man, I really could. 2028 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 1: I can dive in and mathematician you guys to death 2029 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:56,320 Speaker 1: and numeric and dorkism and nerdism to death with this game. 2030 01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 1: This game, to me comes down to, like it really 2031 01:35:00,920 --> 01:35:04,920 Speaker 1: does this game tomorrow It's gonna depend on whether the 2032 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:08,360 Speaker 1: face of the league continues to be Pat Mahomes and 2033 01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:11,479 Speaker 1: all the State Farm commercials and his wife and Taylor 2034 01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:13,840 Speaker 1: Swift up in the box with their corny handshakes and 2035 01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 1: doing the most unseasoned, offbeat swag surf I've ever seen 2036 01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:20,519 Speaker 1: in my entire life, and his brother up there doing 2037 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:22,840 Speaker 1: his TikTok dance and you can still get all of that, 2038 01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:28,720 Speaker 1: or tomorrow we start the era of Lamar Jackson, like 2039 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,080 Speaker 1: when Mike Vick was the face of the NFL when 2040 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,960 Speaker 1: Mike Vick finally broke through and became the face of 2041 01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. I'll be it an older Packer team, what 2042 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,680 Speaker 1: have you. But it was the Lambeau game and the 2043 01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 1: playoffs where he went up there and beat them, and 2044 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:47,040 Speaker 1: nobody gave the Falcons a shot to win that game, 2045 01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 1: and he went up there and beat them and announced 2046 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 1: to the world that as far as the quarterback position goes, 2047 01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 1: this is my league. I don't care who's got what 2048 01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 1: and who did what before me. This is I'm the 2049 01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:00,120 Speaker 1: face of the league. Lamar Jackson has that type of 2050 01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 1: opportunity tomorrow. You look at John Harball. This is an 2051 01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:07,960 Speaker 1: opportunity for him to add to his legacy that one 2052 01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 1: super Bowl league got. Think about it, He's never gotten 2053 01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:13,439 Speaker 1: back to another one. The one he got to he 2054 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:17,960 Speaker 1: won his legacy. Also, Andy Reid. Is this the game 2055 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,280 Speaker 1: that mysteriously pushes Andy into retirement or if this the 2056 01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 1: game that makes a think you know what? Hah, I 2057 01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,479 Speaker 1: still got it. I'm big red. I could still take 2058 01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:29,360 Speaker 1: a team to the Super Bowl. I ain't going nowhere. 2059 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,800 Speaker 1: This is Leonardo DiCaprio and Woolf of Wall Street talking 2060 01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,439 Speaker 1: about he ain't going He's not leaving. He's not going nowhere. 2061 01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:39,960 Speaker 1: This game has so much what offensive skill positions, whether 2062 01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,560 Speaker 1: the chiefs of the Ravens show up tomorrow, there's no 2063 01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:44,920 Speaker 1: one that scares you. Matter of fact, on Jay Jones, 2064 01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,800 Speaker 1: just quick sidebar. Remember my comment, my prediction in like 2065 01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 1: week four, Jay Flower, excuse me, you said he was 2066 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:53,920 Speaker 1: I thought he would be Tyreek Hill. That was the 2067 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,160 Speaker 1: prediction that I gave him. Pulled up some of his 2068 01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,880 Speaker 1: numbers as far as his rookie season, the Tyreek Hills 2069 01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:03,360 Speaker 1: rookie season, seventy one catches, the sixty one catches, a 2070 01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:05,760 Speaker 1: fifty eight to five to ninety three, five touchdowns to 2071 01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:10,040 Speaker 1: six eleven point poer nine per just saying could he 2072 01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:13,160 Speaker 1: be the guy? Do we get an Odell Beckham sighting tomorrow? 2073 01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,160 Speaker 1: Whoever skill position players on the offensive side of the 2074 01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:18,840 Speaker 1: ball show up the most is gonna win this game. 2075 01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:22,040 Speaker 1: I will give it to the Ravens. I love the defense. 2076 01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: They have the best special teams in football. They cover 2077 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:26,759 Speaker 1: kicks well, they running back well. They have the greatest 2078 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:30,320 Speaker 1: kicker in the galaxy. And this to me, since last year, 2079 01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:33,960 Speaker 1: the injury not coming back. Don't pay him, don't sign him. 2080 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,160 Speaker 1: For a contract no one wants to trade for him. 2081 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna win the second MVP. I think he goes 2082 01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:40,439 Speaker 1: in and I think they win this game by a 2083 01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:43,719 Speaker 1: touchdown plus. I think they put it on Kansas City tomorrow. 2084 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,759 Speaker 1: Kansas City got Dolphins with six injured guys on defense starters. 2085 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 1: Then they got Buffalo. I'll be it on the row 2086 01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:54,160 Speaker 1: five defensive starters injured at tomorrow. They don't get that 2087 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,960 Speaker 1: injured defense from Baltimore. They're getting Baltimore's best and then 2088 01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:00,280 Speaker 1: you got the most dangerous weapon in football other than 2089 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,439 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill to deal with on the offensive side. It's 2090 01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:04,519 Speaker 1: just his year. Man, It's been a nice run for 2091 01:38:04,600 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Also, to remember every time they win a 2092 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they don't get back the next year. Give 2093 01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:11,000 Speaker 1: me the Ravens tomorrow. 2094 01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Ravens actually win the game, but 2095 01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:15,559 Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be by touch I think it'll 2096 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 2: actually be closer than that. 2097 01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:18,960 Speaker 1: I see that most books. 2098 01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:21,200 Speaker 2: Are now are hanging three and a half as the line. 2099 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:23,960 Speaker 2: One book, in particular, Circus Sports, is hanging four and 2100 01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 2: a half. I tell you what, I take that four 2101 01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:27,880 Speaker 2: and a half of Kansas City. I think they probably 2102 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,320 Speaker 2: play this one close. But I think we're looking at 2103 01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:33,080 Speaker 2: the Justin Tucker Field goal to go ahead and win 2104 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,000 Speaker 2: this thing and what will probably be one of the 2105 01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:38,040 Speaker 2: better games that we see. I mean, it's got I mean, 2106 01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:39,800 Speaker 2: it's AFC Championship game, but it's got a chance to 2107 01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 2: go down as one of the best games in the 2108 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 2: NFL history just off of the importance of what could happen. 2109 01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,200 Speaker 1: In this game. Right, So it comes down, why is 2110 01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:52,559 Speaker 1: it the first game because San Francisco is in Pacific time. Yeah, 2111 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 1: they could have pushed it. I think they should start 2112 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,360 Speaker 1: pushing it back and then given us a prime time 2113 01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,040 Speaker 1: East Coast, prime time start five pm, Star four US 2114 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,719 Speaker 1: here like senday Ball. I think the championship weekend would 2115 01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:03,639 Speaker 1: be cool. But anyway, I don't mind, well, I don't 2116 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,439 Speaker 1: mind games during the day. Yeah, I know you're big. 2117 01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna not watch it. 2118 01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, No, I think that we ended up 2119 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,280 Speaker 2: looking at it at a situation where I mean, Kansas 2120 01:39:13,320 --> 01:39:15,040 Speaker 2: City's pass catchers they stepped up. 2121 01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,160 Speaker 1: They stepped up in Buffalo, There's no doubt about it. 2122 01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:19,000 Speaker 5: Right. 2123 01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,120 Speaker 2: But I could either pay attention to what I saw 2124 01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 2: last week or pay attention to what I saw all year, 2125 01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,160 Speaker 2: and what I saw all year was a substandard group. 2126 01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:33,519 Speaker 1: Yes, even in the Miami Even in the Miami game 2127 01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:33,800 Speaker 1: where it. 2128 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,920 Speaker 2: Was freezing cold in Kansas City, Travis Kelsey was dropping 2129 01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:37,680 Speaker 2: balls left and right. 2130 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:39,240 Speaker 1: And that game's ten to seven at the half, so 2131 01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm with you, so uh. And then with 2132 01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:44,920 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I think we saw. 2133 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,560 Speaker 2: The thing that really impressed me about the Ravens in 2134 01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,160 Speaker 2: the divisional round was a uh, Texas couldn't run the 2135 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:52,920 Speaker 2: ball to save their lives. 2136 01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:55,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, finished with less than forty yards. Well, they couldn't 2137 01:39:55,720 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: score you three points? Well? Is part of the reason 2138 01:39:58,000 --> 01:39:59,960 Speaker 1: why they couldn't score was because they couldn't run the ball. 2139 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,720 Speaker 1: There was no balance in the offense, right, so they 2140 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:05,479 Speaker 1: shut down the running game. Kansas City's been running the 2141 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:08,960 Speaker 1: ball quite a bit with Isaiah Pacheco, right, that's been one. 2142 01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:13,160 Speaker 1: He's probably their most dynamic offensive player outside of Mahomes. 2143 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:16,920 Speaker 1: At this point, it's Baltimore defense though. Man, it is 2144 01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,479 Speaker 1: serious their difference. Man, so they're different. 2145 01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:21,559 Speaker 2: But the thing that gets me is, Okay, we saw 2146 01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:23,759 Speaker 2: the Miko Rans that the Texans were playing. To remember 2147 01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:27,559 Speaker 2: the Titans defense, they were gonna blitz at all n night. 2148 01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,800 Speaker 1: Hey, you know what they went into the half Baltimore. 2149 01:40:30,360 --> 01:40:34,640 Speaker 2: Did, and you saw Lamar Jackson being very demonstrative, very demonstrative. 2150 01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:35,320 Speaker 1: I thought he was hurt. 2151 01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:37,720 Speaker 2: On one play he was writhing on the ground and 2152 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:40,040 Speaker 2: he wasn't hurt. He got up and put his finger 2153 01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:43,839 Speaker 2: in Ronnie Stanley's face, Maaster. He said, listen, you big bop, 2154 01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:44,720 Speaker 2: you better get up. 2155 01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:46,479 Speaker 1: There and block from him, Block and block for me. 2156 01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:49,760 Speaker 1: Don't get me killed. Two alternate spreads that I just 2157 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:51,920 Speaker 1: looked up that I like Baltimore minus six and a 2158 01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:55,120 Speaker 1: half plus one nineteen minus seven plus one thirty six. 2159 01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:57,599 Speaker 1: I think this is Baltimore by a touchdown plus guys. 2160 01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:00,720 Speaker 1: One of these games. One of these games are not 2161 01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 1: gonna be close. Neither. Both these games aren't coming down 2162 01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,800 Speaker 1: to the stretch. I would give the Lines to win 2163 01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,600 Speaker 1: down the stretch in San fran before I give the 2164 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:12,200 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, needing a tucker field goal to finish this 2165 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:14,759 Speaker 1: game off. I think Mahomes turns the ball over tomorrow. 2166 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,759 Speaker 1: This is a very This is a very opportunist, opportunistic defense. 2167 01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:21,519 Speaker 1: Hamilton is an all pro. This kid out of Norre 2168 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,560 Speaker 1: Dame is legit. Marlon Humphries back in the fold, we 2169 01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 1: talked about the linebackers. You mentioned them a minute ago. Dude, 2170 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:32,400 Speaker 1: this this defense clowney. Where's where's this coming from? With 2171 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,640 Speaker 1: this guy over the last six seven weeks. It's not 2172 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,559 Speaker 1: one or two play like he's he's popping off the tape. 2173 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:41,640 Speaker 1: You live in one on one situations. It's hardy and 2174 01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:43,760 Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna have to live on tomorrow. They're 2175 01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to the Kansas's gonna have to block one 2176 01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 1: on one and they're banged up on the offensive line. 2177 01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:48,800 Speaker 1: I just think this is Lamar's year and it's not 2178 01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:51,800 Speaker 1: a close game. Man, that crowd on the road. I 2179 01:41:52,080 --> 01:41:55,040 Speaker 1: get Buffalo last week, but we know who Buffalo think 2180 01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:56,760 Speaker 1: about it. I had him not winning division, you had 2181 01:41:56,840 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: him not even making the playoffs. This Buffalo team has 2182 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,240 Speaker 1: to scratch the last six years every year to get 2183 01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,200 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So it's no wonder they get their 2184 01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:06,519 Speaker 1: ass kick the way they do. This Baltimore team is 2185 01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:09,040 Speaker 1: just on a mission in different this year.

Peyton Manning with five, Rogers 2282 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:06,040 Speaker 2: with four, Brady with three, Jim Brown with three, Brett 2283 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:09,200 Speaker 2: fav with three, Johnny united Is with three, Mahomes with two, 2284 01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:12,640 Speaker 2: Montana with two, Kurt Warning with two, Steve Young with two. 2285 01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:14,840 Speaker 1: What do they all have in common? Sub? Aaron Rodgers 2286 01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:17,200 Speaker 1: are still playing? Patrick Mahomes, You're still playing? 2287 01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:18,160 Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know. 2288 01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:20,479 Speaker 1: Those are all guys in the Pro Football Hall of 2289 01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:21,240 Speaker 1: Fame in Canton, Ohio. 2290 01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:25,240 Speaker 2: That is exactly correct. That is the list of multiple 2291 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:29,400 Speaker 2: time MVPs. They will go to Canton, Montana. I mean sorry, 2292 01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:33,080 Speaker 2: Mahomes obviously and Rogers still active. But I have a 2293 01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,200 Speaker 2: sneaking suspicion that after they retire, five years after that, 2294 01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:37,799 Speaker 2: they'll be getting fitted for gold jackets. 2295 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:39,040 Speaker 1: All right, I'll bet on it. 2296 01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:44,440 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's biggest, biggest hold up has been the postseason 2297 01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:47,280 Speaker 2: well against Detexans. 2298 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,400 Speaker 1: Four touchdowns total, two passing, two rushing. 2299 01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,280 Speaker 2: List of that guys did that, it's about five people long, 2300 01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,679 Speaker 2: about five people long in the NFL. Right, he goes 2301 01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,759 Speaker 2: and gets this AFS Championship win, not even a super 2302 01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:07,000 Speaker 2: Bowl win. He wins to the AFC Championship game, breaks 2303 01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:10,720 Speaker 2: through and represents Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. 2304 01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,240 Speaker 1: He will be a Hall of Fame taking out Mahomes 2305 01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,559 Speaker 1: head to head. That's what's saying. Head can mark it down. 2306 01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:19,720 Speaker 1: If they get they get to the super Bowl, they're 2307 01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:21,479 Speaker 1: winning it like this is once again, I just think 2308 01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:24,120 Speaker 1: this is a year. I think he has a huge 2309 01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:27,759 Speaker 1: game tomorrow. I wrote the stat that I'm going with twenty. 2310 01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm going with two hundred and twenty yards plus passing 2311 01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:34,759 Speaker 1: sixty yards plus rushing. He's gonna run for two touchdowns tomorrow. 2312 01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:39,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson knows what's being said. Lamar jack his teammates know, 2313 01:48:39,880 --> 01:48:42,240 Speaker 1: all the writers in Baltimore, know all my family and 2314 01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:44,200 Speaker 1: friends back in the DNV and back in be More 2315 01:48:44,280 --> 01:48:47,840 Speaker 1: talk about it. There's no secret to Lamar Jackson can 2316 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:52,320 Speaker 1: be the face the guy that ends the conversation that 2317 01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:55,840 Speaker 1: you can't be like him and win a Super Bowl. 2318 01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,439 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's one time it happened, so 2319 01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 1: you can't say you can't. You can say it only 2320 01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,120 Speaker 1: happened once. But that's stupid because the fact is can 2321 01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:05,960 Speaker 1: you do it or can't you do it? He has 2322 01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:08,519 Speaker 1: a chance to end that narrative. That's why I think 2323 01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:13,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow's game is legacy driven. Dan, throw all the numbers away. 2324 01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:15,880 Speaker 1: This is legacy. This legacy is on the line. The 2325 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:17,920 Speaker 1: game's gonna be close, like Martin thinks it is. You 2326 01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:19,519 Speaker 1: don't think when they come to the huddle, there's a 2327 01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,720 Speaker 1: piece inside that goes, hey, let's go get this one guy, 2328 01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:23,920 Speaker 1: Like there's a piece inside of you that knows, listen, 2329 01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,519 Speaker 1: your your name is on this this is on the 2330 01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:28,880 Speaker 1: line tomorrow. This ain't just another game. It's not just 2331 01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,200 Speaker 1: another conference championship game. That is different from what we 2332 01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,320 Speaker 1: get in San Francisco with the lines this game is, 2333 01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:39,320 Speaker 1: it's at least three or four legacies. Are pieces of 2334 01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:41,880 Speaker 1: your legacy on the line that we are gonna talk 2335 01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:45,800 Speaker 1: about and judge you by chiefs lose tomorrow. Yeah, he's 2336 01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,400 Speaker 1: now three and three in these conference championship game. Yeah, 2337 01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:50,519 Speaker 1: you went to six in a row, but you're fifty percent. 2338 01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:50,760 Speaker 3: Man. 2339 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:52,760 Speaker 1: If you lost twice at home and you lost to 2340 01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:54,880 Speaker 1: Brady had to head, and you lost to Joe Burrow 2341 01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:57,000 Speaker 1: had to head, and you now lost to Lamar Jackson 2342 01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:01,960 Speaker 1: had to head te it matters. Though. It does matter 2343 01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:05,080 Speaker 1: whether you like it or not. It's it's going too 2344 01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:08,720 Speaker 1: matter to me. Patrick mahomes legacy is cemented at this point. 2345 01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:12,080 Speaker 2: Like I said, he's the only to my opinion, shortfire 2346 01:50:12,120 --> 01:50:14,000 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer who played a full season this year. 2347 01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,519 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson goes ahead and gets this win right here, 2348 01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:18,360 Speaker 2: he will be next. 2349 01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:20,800 Speaker 1: He will be in. I carey, I'm with you on that, man, 2350 01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:23,400 Speaker 1: But I like Lamar to have a big game. I 2351 01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:26,240 Speaker 1: just don't think Deebo has enough that shoulder. They were 2352 01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 1: surprised or thrilled as the reports say that it wasn't 2353 01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:31,760 Speaker 1: a broken that it wasn't a broke, a crack, a 2354 01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:35,320 Speaker 1: broken show fracture shoulder. So that means it's sore, it's tender, 2355 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,120 Speaker 1: and yeah, you can you can give it the Electrollis's 2356 01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:41,400 Speaker 1: and work it all week long. But forty degree little chili, 2357 01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:43,880 Speaker 1: that's not cold. Too cold under forties, not too cold. 2358 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:46,760 Speaker 1: Forty forty one at kickoff, that's that's play. That's good 2359 01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:50,000 Speaker 1: playable football, East Coast weather. But I just think that 2360 01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:52,840 Speaker 1: this defense, man, I just keep leaning back to this 2361 01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,559 Speaker 1: Baltimore defense that doesn't have the you know, the Ray 2362 01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,040 Speaker 1: Lewis or the ad Ree, but damn if they don't 2363 01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,800 Speaker 1: have some guys that are actually younger and can end 2364 01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,000 Speaker 1: up being just as good. If we look at Hamilton, 2365 01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:04,920 Speaker 1: he just got here, so we don't know what he's 2366 01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna end up being. He could end up being They 2367 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,840 Speaker 1: already made All Pro, not a Pro Ball All Pro 2368 01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,880 Speaker 1: first team, which means people think he's the best safety 2369 01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:15,760 Speaker 1: in football. Are one of the two. So I like 2370 01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:19,360 Speaker 1: this defense tomorrow sixteen, all year long. Maybe Kansas City 2371 01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,920 Speaker 1: can eke out twenty. They scored twenty seven in their 2372 01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 1: first two games, twenty seven against the Dolphins, twenty seven 2373 01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:26,680 Speaker 1: last week, kicking missus a field goal that could be 2374 01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,120 Speaker 1: a different game. They didn't dominate either one of those 2375 01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:31,439 Speaker 1: games until one point. Miami just couldn't move the football 2376 01:51:31,720 --> 01:51:33,760 Speaker 1: or rust of passer, didn't have enough guys signing guys 2377 01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:35,840 Speaker 1: off the street to rush of passer. Baltimore didn't have 2378 01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:38,839 Speaker 1: to sign nobody off the street. Also to Andrew's back tomorrow, 2379 01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,800 Speaker 1: huge the other quarterback with the most to gain in 2380 01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:44,439 Speaker 1: these matchups. Right here, I think you're looking at Rock Party. 2381 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 1: Of course, Well here's the thing, because here Cord is not. 2382 01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:52,400 Speaker 1: There's Manchi and Alex did this for like two hours 2383 01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:54,960 Speaker 1: earlier today. I was losing my mind because I'm sitting 2384 01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:56,840 Speaker 1: behind the update desk. I don't want to just pop 2385 01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:58,439 Speaker 1: in there and be like what they're like, how come 2386 01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:01,360 Speaker 1: nobody's respecting brock Perdy. They operated to get the respect 2387 01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:02,599 Speaker 1: he deserves, so what and so forth. 2388 01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,800 Speaker 2: The part of the reason why people quote unquote hate 2389 01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,680 Speaker 2: on brock Party is because people were talking about him 2390 01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:12,360 Speaker 2: as if he was the NFL MVP for a significant 2391 01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:14,680 Speaker 2: part of this season. If you just had him as 2392 01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,719 Speaker 2: a standard guy. Everything will be fine. Nobody had confused 2393 01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:22,320 Speaker 2: Derek Golf with the NFL MVP evert at all. So 2394 01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:24,640 Speaker 2: so like that's where that comes from. But we have 2395 01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:28,160 Speaker 2: seen Kyle Shanahan move on from a quarterback that was 2396 01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:32,080 Speaker 2: the quarterback in major big games and championship games and 2397 01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:32,759 Speaker 2: Super Bowls. 2398 01:52:32,920 --> 01:52:34,160 Speaker 1: His name is Jimmy Garoppolo. 2399 01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:36,479 Speaker 2: He's now on the Ross Vegas Raiders run to a 2400 01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:40,160 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, right, I mean so as Kyle Shanahan. 2401 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:43,080 Speaker 1: While I said he is a great coach, I've talked 2402 01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: about this before. Is he a QB whisperer held off? 2403 01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:49,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely not No, absolutely not no. Does he make the 2404 01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:51,120 Speaker 2: game easy for his quarterbacks? 2405 01:52:51,200 --> 01:52:52,920 Speaker 1: I think so. Does he make it kind of paint 2406 01:52:53,000 --> 01:52:54,680 Speaker 1: by numbers for his quarterbacks? I think so. 2407 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,960 Speaker 2: And look, there's a Mendoza line in which you have 2408 01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:01,080 Speaker 2: to cross there. There's a there is a minimum that 2409 01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:03,760 Speaker 2: you have to meet. Jimmy Garoppolo met that minimum. Rock 2410 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:04,720 Speaker 2: Party exceeds it. 2411 01:53:05,360 --> 01:53:05,519 Speaker 1: Right. 2412 01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:10,360 Speaker 2: But if he had thrown a game ceiling interception in 2413 01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:13,360 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of that NFL Division Ndercy Divisional round, 2414 01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:15,559 Speaker 2: I think that the forty nine ers all. 2415 01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,080 Speaker 1: Would have had questions that quarterback. 2416 01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:20,360 Speaker 2: If he plays poorly again, that'll be three games in 2417 01:53:20,439 --> 01:53:22,120 Speaker 2: a row that he played that he played poorly in 2418 01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:27,200 Speaker 2: from the Raven Nothing. I'm sorry, Ravens. I said three 2419 01:53:27,200 --> 01:53:28,920 Speaker 2: games in a row, that's wrong. But the Ravens game 2420 01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:29,720 Speaker 2: he played poorly in. 2421 01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:31,200 Speaker 1: They lost. They played. 2422 01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:34,280 Speaker 2: We played poorly against Sanforts, I mean against Green Bay 2423 01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,280 Speaker 2: up until that last drive. And that last drive he 2424 01:53:37,400 --> 01:53:39,840 Speaker 2: was able to complete some passes, get him down the field, 2425 01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:43,160 Speaker 2: get him into a position to score a touchdown. But 2426 01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:46,240 Speaker 2: Darnell Savage catches the ball. That's the pick six. I'm 2427 01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:49,640 Speaker 2: looking at an entirely different game. Yeah, Rock Party. If 2428 01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:53,280 Speaker 2: Rock Party turns back, turns back into a pumpkin after 2429 01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,519 Speaker 2: this game, they're gonna be looking at him like. 2430 01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:57,720 Speaker 1: We need to find an upgrade quarterback. You can even 2431 01:53:57,760 --> 01:53:59,720 Speaker 1: go back to that Washington game where it really took 2432 01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:01,880 Speaker 1: d to kind of take that game over for them. 2433 01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:05,560 Speaker 1: He didn't play great and even that game, so that 2434 01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 1: was leading into the raven game. But like like you said, 2435 01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:11,840 Speaker 1: the guy who's got the most on the table, whether 2436 01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,200 Speaker 1: his story is gonna go left or right, is Brock Purty. 2437 01:54:15,240 --> 01:54:17,240 Speaker 1: And like I said, I'll take the lines. I love 2438 01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:19,400 Speaker 1: the story. I love the team. I like everything that 2439 01:54:19,520 --> 01:54:21,760 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is doing, and I just think that that 2440 01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:25,519 Speaker 1: that that look runs out at some point. You can't 2441 01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:28,080 Speaker 1: fake your way. You just can't in this league. Sooner 2442 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:31,240 Speaker 1: or later, it will catch up to you, somebody all 2443 01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:33,920 Speaker 1: you last week we were tackling. The tackle that Debo 2444 01:54:34,040 --> 01:54:36,560 Speaker 1: took didn't look vicious. It didn't look vicious. They were 2445 01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:38,120 Speaker 1: trying to strip the ball from him. He kind of 2446 01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:40,240 Speaker 1: fell to the ground on his back. You just thought, okay, 2447 01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:42,520 Speaker 1: simple playoffs, see not one hundred times. And he didn't 2448 01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:44,200 Speaker 1: get up, and he didn't move one arm. When that 2449 01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:46,720 Speaker 1: guy laying on his back and that one shoulder stays 2450 01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,440 Speaker 1: to the turf, You're like, Okay, something's wrong. That's not that. 2451 01:54:49,480 --> 01:54:51,440 Speaker 1: I've had that feel. I've had my shoulder pop out before, 2452 01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:53,760 Speaker 1: so I know exactly what that look looks like. I 2453 01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,560 Speaker 1: know exactly what that feels like. It does not feel 2454 01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:58,600 Speaker 1: good to the tune. He was a street closing the 2455 01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:01,200 Speaker 1: second half. Anything can happened in any of these games. 2456 01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:03,640 Speaker 1: You can lose a quarterback, lose a big time player. 2457 01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:06,240 Speaker 1: But everybody all the guns on the field tomorrow, man, 2458 01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:08,480 Speaker 1: I like what they're doing there. Back to the MC 2459 01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,080 Speaker 1: Championship Game. I just feel like it just feels like 2460 01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:15,280 Speaker 1: this is Lamar's year. His teammates are around, rallied around him. 2461 01:55:15,280 --> 01:55:17,680 Speaker 1: The city's rallied around. They want this for him. They 2462 01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,000 Speaker 1: all want it, Martin. But trust me, they want it 2463 01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:20,640 Speaker 1: for Lamar. 2464 01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:23,520 Speaker 2: For Lamar Jackson. One future Hall of Famer, two guys 2465 01:55:23,560 --> 01:55:25,640 Speaker 2: already in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Vita's got a 2466 01:55:25,680 --> 01:55:28,440 Speaker 2: big problem with the way this is all decided, Martin VJ, 2467 01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:32,200 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Martin and VJ coming to your life 2468 01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:34,160 Speaker 2: from the tire Rack dot Com studios. 2469 01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:37,720 Speaker 1: We just had Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame voting, 2470 01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:39,839 Speaker 1: h VJ. What's what's your befoot? 2471 01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,080 Speaker 2: The way that the Major League Baseball determines who's going 2472 01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,720 Speaker 2: to be in the Hall of Fame. Oh my goodness, crazious, bro, 2473 01:55:45,440 --> 01:55:46,080 Speaker 2: Where our start? 2474 01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:47,880 Speaker 1: All right? And I know baseball is one of your 2475 01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,680 Speaker 1: big you know you with mlbbro dot Com and our 2476 01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:53,480 Speaker 1: good guy, good friend and colleague here, Rob Parky is 2477 01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:56,600 Speaker 1: a big baseball guy. But this this this thing is 2478 01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 1: crazy to me. It almost feels like a sham. It's ridiculous, 2479 01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:03,760 Speaker 1: it feels outdated, and it needs to be changed. Number one. 2480 01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:06,920 Speaker 1: I just want to say, Okay, who's making this who votes? 2481 01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:12,920 Speaker 1: Who's making these decisions? B b W A A all right, 2482 01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:13,400 Speaker 1: I got it. 2483 01:56:13,520 --> 01:56:13,760 Speaker 3: Cool. 2484 01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:17,080 Speaker 1: You got to be ten straight years as a baseball 2485 01:56:17,200 --> 01:56:21,440 Speaker 1: beat writer and then apply for your credentials and your 2486 01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:23,600 Speaker 1: go to your thumbs up to be able to vote 2487 01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:26,160 Speaker 1: on this stuff. All right, cool? No problem. My problem 2488 01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:28,200 Speaker 1: that I'm having, though, is I'm seeing guys get in 2489 01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:31,080 Speaker 1: because this whole steroid era thing is probably what's got 2490 01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,840 Speaker 1: me more take than anything, because that's the big sticking 2491 01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:36,840 Speaker 1: point with certain guys not getting in. Let's just let's 2492 01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:38,840 Speaker 1: just call out the pink elephant in the room, right 2493 01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:43,560 Speaker 1: with Clemens, Bonds, Sosa, and Maguire. But there was always 2494 01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,600 Speaker 1: this famous list that came out. I want to believe 2495 01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:48,320 Speaker 1: it was four. So when this famous list came out, 2496 01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:51,520 Speaker 1: there was a list of names of players who had 2497 01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,720 Speaker 1: either tested positive or was rumor to test positive or 2498 01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:56,680 Speaker 1: rumor to be on steroids. And this was supposed to 2499 01:56:56,680 --> 01:56:59,520 Speaker 1: be the list that was going to keep certain guys off. 2500 01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:02,280 Speaker 1: But I keep seeing names on the list go in. 2501 01:57:02,480 --> 01:57:05,000 Speaker 1: So I'm now I'm confused because I love me some 2502 01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:07,400 Speaker 1: big poppy. Big Poppy is one of my favorite baseball 2503 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,960 Speaker 1: players of all time. His name's on the list still 2504 01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:13,160 Speaker 1: of being pop for doing steroids, but you let him in. 2505 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,680 Speaker 1: Gary Sheffield not getting in this past week was this 2506 01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:19,480 Speaker 1: mind boggling. As a guy, I get the Bonds and 2507 01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:21,200 Speaker 1: all those other guys I named because I know why 2508 01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:22,880 Speaker 1: they're not in. We all know why they're not in. 2509 01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:27,880 Speaker 1: But Gary Sheffield, who was not in, who numbers all 2510 01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:30,720 Speaker 1: stack up? And baseball is such a big, a big 2511 01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:34,200 Speaker 1: numbers thing. Who numbers all stack up? His place speaks 2512 01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:37,600 Speaker 1: for itself when you see him now get the cheft 2513 01:57:37,960 --> 01:57:39,880 Speaker 1: and not be able to get into the hall. Now, 2514 01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:44,120 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, the hypocrisy of it all is what's 2515 01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:47,320 Speaker 1: confusing me. That's the part I can't get over. Because 2516 01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:49,960 Speaker 1: you don't see this with any other Hall of Fames 2517 01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,000 Speaker 1: in any other pro sports, at least I haven't. If 2518 01:57:52,080 --> 01:57:54,800 Speaker 1: somebody else has let me know. It just feels like 2519 01:57:54,880 --> 01:57:58,040 Speaker 1: the power of voting, also, Martin, with all these leagues. 2520 01:57:58,080 --> 01:57:59,760 Speaker 1: Because I looked up who votes for the end the 2521 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,000 Speaker 1: football Hall of Fame? Because you have guys go well, 2522 01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,680 Speaker 1: you're a big football guy, VJ. Why don't you say 2523 01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:04,160 Speaker 1: something about it? 2524 01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:04,280 Speaker 6: No? 2525 01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:06,160 Speaker 1: I looked up and did my due diligence on that. 2526 01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,600 Speaker 1: I think some of that needs to change too. Just 2527 01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:11,280 Speaker 1: because you wrote and you covered a sport for so long, 2528 01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:13,480 Speaker 1: I know you can say a lot of different things. 2529 01:58:13,840 --> 01:58:15,880 Speaker 2: About the Football Hall of Fame the way that they 2530 01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:19,680 Speaker 2: do that. Somebody has a petition for you on your behalf, 2531 01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:21,760 Speaker 2: which one of the rioters has to do it? And 2532 01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:25,240 Speaker 2: of the writers, I went selected for every NFL team, 2533 01:58:25,320 --> 01:58:27,360 Speaker 2: and I did this in twenty twenty, So the numbers 2534 01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:29,120 Speaker 2: may have changed over the last four years. But when 2535 01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,000 Speaker 2: I did it, it was sixty eight people who voted, 2536 01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:36,120 Speaker 2: and of them some fifty eight of them or us 2537 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:39,360 Speaker 2: just say this, only ten were not white men who 2538 01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:41,919 Speaker 2: were voting for the Pro Football base for Pro Football 2539 01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:42,560 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. 2540 01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:45,240 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a convoluted system. 2541 01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:46,880 Speaker 2: So you could have a guy who like doesn't just 2542 01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:49,240 Speaker 2: didn't like Torell Owens, for example, and that's the guy 2543 01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:50,760 Speaker 2: who is designated to you. 2544 01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:52,640 Speaker 1: Who went through it by not being a first ballot, 2545 01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:54,560 Speaker 1: who went through this by not being a first ballot. 2546 01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:57,480 Speaker 1: But I defend the first ballot stuff because if you 2547 01:58:57,680 --> 01:59:00,400 Speaker 1: step over other deserving guys, and you can keep doing 2548 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:03,760 Speaker 1: this every year after year after year. Of course, you're 2549 01:59:03,800 --> 01:59:06,920 Speaker 1: going to start to have guys that get in before 2550 01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:10,960 Speaker 1: a more deserving guy who's been waiting ten, twelve, thirteen, 2551 01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:13,360 Speaker 1: fourteen years. But you're such in a rush to throw 2552 01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:16,640 Speaker 1: these other guys in, you're stepping over these other guys 2553 01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:18,960 Speaker 1: that deserve to be in. There's a flaw in all 2554 01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:20,760 Speaker 1: of them, if you want to point it out. The 2555 01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:24,840 Speaker 1: Baseball one just confuses me because there's a date pass 2556 01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:27,080 Speaker 1: where you can't get in now once you get past 2557 01:59:27,080 --> 01:59:30,560 Speaker 1: I believe it's fifteen ten years on the ballot, ten 2558 01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:33,680 Speaker 1: years on the ballot, and what five years retired? Ten 2559 01:59:33,760 --> 01:59:36,520 Speaker 1: years played in the matrix, So once you get past 2560 01:59:36,600 --> 01:59:39,280 Speaker 1: the ten this rule was also brought in, if I'm 2561 01:59:39,280 --> 01:59:43,760 Speaker 1: not mistaken. Also marn two thousand, late teens, correct, is 2562 01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:44,720 Speaker 1: when this rule is? 2563 01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:45,000 Speaker 6: What I know? 2564 01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:47,320 Speaker 1: I've un til twenty fourteen. It was the fifteen years, 2565 01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:49,760 Speaker 1: so I'm guessing after that is when they broke it 2566 01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:51,680 Speaker 1: down to ten. But it felt like that was a 2567 01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:55,200 Speaker 1: reaction to the steroid guys, and it's like, okay, we 2568 01:59:55,280 --> 01:59:57,520 Speaker 1: could just get it to ten and nobody votes him in. 2569 01:59:57,720 --> 01:59:59,840 Speaker 1: They never get in. I don't believe that a player 2570 02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,760 Speaker 1: should never be able to get into a Hall of 2571 02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Fame and the writers being the guys voting on this 2572 02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:07,000 Speaker 1: is also something I got a little beef with. Yeah, 2573 02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't have any beef with the riders doing it. 2574 02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:10,520 Speaker 1: They the ones who are covering the game. Why not? 2575 02:00:10,720 --> 02:00:11,000 Speaker 6: Why not? 2576 02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:12,720 Speaker 1: The former players are the guys that are already in 2577 02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:15,400 Speaker 1: the hall because the former players didn't cover the game, 2578 02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:18,120 Speaker 1: like they're not their job is not. The idea behind 2579 02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,040 Speaker 1: writers doing is the writers are the guys who are 2580 02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:22,760 Speaker 1: there watching every single game. If you're, for example, if 2581 02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:25,480 Speaker 1: you're Gary Sheffield, when you were playing for the Detroit Tigers, 2582 02:00:25,720 --> 02:00:29,400 Speaker 1: you weren't catching every Angels game like you just weren't. Yep, 2583 02:00:30,280 --> 02:00:32,000 Speaker 1: But I just I disagree with that part. Well, well 2584 02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:34,480 Speaker 1: we'll agree to disagree on that. I think the players 2585 02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:36,400 Speaker 1: and people that are in it's like Heisman Trophy, right, 2586 02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:39,280 Speaker 1: if you want a Heisman, guess what you get? You 2587 02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:40,000 Speaker 1: get a vote? 2588 02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:43,280 Speaker 2: Well, coming up next to my voters for Aaron Torres 2589 02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:46,000 Speaker 2: and Jason Martin. The will be following us on Fox 2590 02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:46,800 Speaker 2: Sports Radio. 2591 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:47,480 Speaker 1: Peace Out
