18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Great Red Zone, in which Scott Hansen, doing an interview

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: on ESPN Today, said that there will be commercials on

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: red Zone this year, full fledged commercials like not like hey,

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: in the corner of your television, here's an ad for depends.

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna see that no full lower, we

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: are cutting away. You are gonna see flow from progressive right.

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna see or you're gonna see My favorite commercial,

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: that Ram commercial. That that where I really thought it

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: was an onion commercial, like this was a fake commercial.

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: But it's been so much. Like we watch a lot

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn nine to nine now and it's in every

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: break it's this commercial for Ram where where you hear

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: the voiceover and it's you know, it's a truck commercial

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: and the guy and the guy says, as Americans, we

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: do what we do great things all the time, but

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: there's one thing we can't stop doing. We can't stop

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: being American.

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: You know who that is? Right? Who is is it real?

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: I did not know that.

37
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Is that a fake commercial? Stop being Americans? So get

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: out there and buy a Ram truck. I'm like, no,

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: that's it. Can't stop being American. No matter what we do,

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we can change everything, we can't stop that.

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: We just intrinsically American.

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: If you give me that commercial two or three times

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: an hour, oh man, that's gonna be like like people

44
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: will want to just revolt even more. But like that,

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's a real commercial. That's a I thought

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: it was a fake commercial, like it's one of those

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: arrested development and oh it's a fake commercial. We just

48
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: can't stop being American.

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: It's funny because I started, uh now become addicted to

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: I don't know how I missed it. Early on was

51
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: Tulsa King. Okay, I keep getting the same head. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: you can't stop being American? What does that even mean?

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: I can't being American?

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: Like, well, a, you want to say where's my flag?

56
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: So I want to get my two by four my

57
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 4: flag and start saying tough guy.

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: It is effective advertising because I remember it's a Ram commercial,

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: so going out there and buy a rent. Hey, I

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: want to be American. I want to buy a rep.

61
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: Hey.

62
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: If I don't buy a Ram truck, I'm not American.

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. But it's the first commercial of its ilk.

64
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: You remember since the late great Toby Keith was singing,

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: I'm a Ford truck man.

66
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what I d exactly. At least that

67
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: was a that was a jingle he made up. But

68
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: he got right after it this is Hey, you're not American.

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: You don't ever stop being American. Don't ever stop. Don't

70
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: ever stop. Don't. Don't you think you can. You can't

71
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: stop being American. And it's really hard.

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: I mean it kind of takes for the old Jim Valvanos.

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: You could, you could.

74
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Like you would have to go and you would have

75
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: to file for citizenship in another country. You'd have to

76
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: pass a testing.

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: I think you just have to pay to leave, Like

78
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: yeah that like, yeah, it's.

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 1: A lot more work than just going out and buying

80
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: a ram truck. Oh yeah, I'll stay American. I want

81
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: to stay American. I'll go do that. Like it's a

82
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: lot more It's not quite the knee jerk reaction. I

83
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: no longer want to be American. You can't stop being American.

84
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: Remember the first time I heard it, I did the

85
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 4: mere cat thing, just like you did, like, hey, one a.

86
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: My hearings, and then now I look forward to it.

87
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: That's right, that was the absolute best. Can't stop being American.

88
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: I slide it into conversations because Zoe hates that commercial

89
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: and I slid it in and she go, I go, hey,

90

98
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: like it's but if something happens in the middle, right,

99
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: you have to know what one thing to do. And

Speaker 3: And she hung up on me.

Speaker 1: She hung up on me right when I said that,

104
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: because I got her she thought, I'm gonna say, hey,

Speaker 1: the time. Just don't stop being American.

107
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: See ours becomes some fastardization of me somehow. Injecting a

108
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 4: couple of song lyrics as sung by Hugh Jackman was

109
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: just the running joke of this guy on TikTok and

110
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: Twitter who's made a whole cottage industry of if I

111
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: do it like Hugh Jackman, where it's the John like

112
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: just the way he's seeing, or logan Hugh Jackman like

113
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: like John No, I mean if he get does logan.

114
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 4: Now he's just breathing heavily and you hear the sound

115
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: of metal that doesn't quite work.

116
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Never stop being Americans.

117
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: Now the thing is like, can we adopt that as ever? Show?

118
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: Yeah? Uh. The anti ESPN crowd was out right away

119
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: today with the story. Now that you know ESPN NFL

120
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: network has folded into ESPN, here they are. They're ruining

121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: the red zone already with commercials. Now the ESPN thing

122
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: doesn't happen for another year, right like this, So this

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: was gonna happen regardless. But this goes to show you,

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: speaking of products and advertising, that ESPN really needs brand

125
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: consultants to come in and go, Hey, the brand recognition,

126
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the brand impression, the brand opinions of ESPN are in

127
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the bleeping toilet right now, Man, they are in the

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: toilet wherever you were the worldwide leader in sports and

129
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: nobody can stand you right because of what goes on.

130
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: And it's not anything that Hey, look, business is business,

131
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: and certain things are gonna happen as business evolves. And yes,

132
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: for the longest time, ESPN uh served a group of

133
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: of of people that were underserved with sports. Now suddenly

134
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: here's sports. ESPN becomes a big thing. It's hard to

135
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: throw your arms around an empire. But when you come

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: out and you see that this is the reaction that

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: ESPN ruins everything with sports. Wait, if this is our

138
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: business and ESPN's ruining everything, they're ruining this already. It

139
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that this merger isn't going to take effect,

140
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: this is ESPN. The the confidence level in the opinion

141
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: if if they did this, and I don't, I think

142
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: they should. And believe me, being at ESPN, they love

143
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: doing all that crazy crap like focus groups and and

144
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: and looking into and do it. They love doing. They

145
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: loved taking their time looking at spreadsheets and data points

146
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: and all kinds of crazy stuff gets bad, Do you

147
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: really need some people come in and go, hey, we

148
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: have to improve the image of this brand, because no

149
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: matter what you do, people now think it's terrible. And

150
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: this is the latest of it is that here it's

151
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the people that people doesn't matter that that ESPN is

152
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: not taken over. They think you're ruining this product already.

153
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: It's time to change that.

154
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing though, Like we've watched the slow

155
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: erosion and even though the actual acronym is entertainment and

156
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 4: sports Programming network.

157
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: Folks don't remember that.

158
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: They don't know that, Like the entertainment part of it

159
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: is is now front and center in a lot of

160
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: ways with different partnerships that have come along, and certainly

161
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: the big Ja Little Jay journalism fight that we have.

162
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 4: And some former ESPN staffers are waving their hands back

163
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: at Bristol right now, going, we were in the building, right,

164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: Pablo Torre, who's now you know, going, He's going after

165
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson next by the way, So keep an eye out, okay,

166
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: but in them, you know, you've got just some of

167
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 4: that kind of Over the last four or five years, right,

168
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot in the landscape of a little

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: bit of an erosion necessarily of trust, but of power.

170
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: Maybe trust is another way to say it. But in

171
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: terms of expectations and long standing programs and entities that

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 4: get cycled out. Now, some of that's the natural life

173
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: cycle of what we've chosen to do here. It's sports

174
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: and entertainment cross together. But for ESPN in this particular case,

175
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: like you're bringing in a beloved brand and a beloved institution,

176
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: and this falls on you just because you're in the subheading, right,

177
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: any other change you make, folks are gonna say, Okay, well,

178
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 4: you know, lineups are gonna change, personalities are gonna leave dollars,

179
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 4: cents whatever. But in terms of something the old, if

180
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 4: it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I think that's

181
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: how people look at red Zone, right, is that you've

182
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: had this long heralded space that is like, well, you

183
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: you could suck that up.

184
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: It'll be just fine.

185
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: Right, You got plenty of other places on the O

186
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: chow and whatever else to put your commercials.

187
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: Don't go screw it.

188
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: Up my ability to see what is a quote unquote

189
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: meaningless field goal or touchdown late in a game, which

190
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: they probably won't do. But all of that to say,

191
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, the the advent of advertisement at all, just

192
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the specter of it without a concrete no, here's where

193
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: these blocks will be. People get scared, right, Like you know,

194
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: we have a programming clock here, right, you can you

195
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: can kind of set it within a minute or two

196
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: maybe three of when things are gonna happen on the show.

197
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: But when you're talking live football, you don't know. You

198
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: don't know when to break.

199
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: In, the action is gonna come exit out about a

200
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: fresca exit swollen, don't see. We'll have more on this

201
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: story coming up throughout the show. Look that the reds

202
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: on it. Everybody's mad, running through the streets, blood from

203
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: people's eyes, Lionona, I mean we did this all.

204
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 3: Thing nically done.

205
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: You said that, You said that much better that time.

206
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: Now two eight to a super Bowl store. Here we

207
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: are in the eve of the regular season and the

208
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl story. Uh we may now know who is

209
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: playing halftime of the super Bowl not playing?

210
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: Oh if they might be playing a halftime.

211
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you had all the quarterbacks, like do

212
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: a band or in a band together and they all

213
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: take turn singing like they're the best, you got enough

214
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: of them for a bolly band, right, yeah, I mean

215
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: four or five guys. Joe Chadere, Dylan. Dylan's a good

216
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: boy band named uh well, now he's on the now

217
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: he's on the Snoop. But he's not he's on the

218
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: Ravens roster now, so that doesn't work.

219
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 7: Uh.

220
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Bailey, Bailey's good too, Bailey.

221
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: Well, it works out because Bailey is also Bailey from

222
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: the w W who's a big forty nine Ers fan.

223
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 3: So she'll already be at Levi Stadium if you.

224
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Say, hey, and the boy band is Joe and Dylan

225
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: and Bailey and Shadure, Like oh this sounds like that's

226
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh halftime of the

227
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Maybe we know who it is. NFL Commissioner

228
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell early today was on The Today Show and

229
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: was asked, Hey, uh, who do we think it'd be

230
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl thing this year? Could it potentially

231
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: be Travis Kelsey's fiance Is Taylor Swift invited to play

232
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year? The halftime show?

233
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 6: We would always love to have Taylor play. She is

234
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 6: a special, special talent and obviously she would be welcome

235
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 6: in any time. I can't tell you anything about that.

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 8: It's maybe, Okay, Okay, it's a maybe.

237
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: Okay.

238
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: At what point can we expect a decision to be announced?

239
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 6: I'm waiting on my friend jay Z to be able

240
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 6: to it's in his hands. I'm waiting for the smoke

241
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: to come out.

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, but you're a Swift team.

243
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: Definitely a Swift jay Z is the pope now apparently,

244
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: well that was the job that they created a few

245
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: years on the College of Cardinals. We're going to come

246
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: out with Taylor Swift being so maybe Roger Goodell is

247
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: not going to kind of go down that road as

248
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: far if it's not gonna be Taylor Swift. I'm sure

249
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that have to be worked

250
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: out for her to play, but clearly she's part of

251
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: the NFL now right and and and and two big

252
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: things for this is number one. Like, I'm excited, and

253
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: I think it would probably wind up being the most

254
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: watched halftime show of all time because me, look, I'm

255
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm not a I'm I'm not someone who goes out

256
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: and buys Taylor Swift's songs. I'm gonna go buy her albums.

257
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I don't go to her concerts, but I'm really interested

258
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: to see, Hey, what does a concert of hers look like? Like,

259
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see the the the atmosphere and see

260
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: what if I know you've been a tailors you make

261
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: bracelets for Taylor Swift.

262
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: Comments bracelets the glitter coat Dublin for.

263
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: That, I mean, I mean you've gone right, so so

264
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: they have you And I know you'd be excited to

265
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: see what she does. But I'm from the perspective of

266
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I'd like to see the hype. But I

267
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: hear about the aristorm people go oh, it's amazing they

268
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: did this, they did that, Like I really I'd really

269
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: like to see it, right. And the other part of

270
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: it is that something changed in the overall acceptance level

271
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: of Taylor Swift. Right, and the main reason is because

272
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: we're not an election year, Okay, Taylor Swift and whatever

273
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: she was going to do in the election last year,

274
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: everything is weaponized. Everything was politics. Oh, I hate Taylor Swift.

275
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: I can't stand this. Travis Kelce does the commercials for

276
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: the for Getting Vaccinated. I can't stand. I can't stand

277
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: It's and and some people love Taylor Swift. I love

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: Travis kelceon love. You can see that that. I get

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: where it was polarizing. But now there's no more election.

280
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is part of the NFL, and maybe maybe

281
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: a good portion of this is just fine. She's here.

282
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna get past her as long as Travis

283
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Kelce is in a bleeping league. All right, Fine, if

284
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna see it now, because it's probably Kelsey's last

285
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: year and Taylor Swift is gonna do it again. Okay,

286
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: you've hit me over the head enough with Taylor Swift.

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Fine you win. Okay, the war is over, man, they won. Okay,

288
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: you want to hit me with Taylor Swift but I

289
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: really see that it's more of an acceptance level from

290
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: the NFL for Taylor Swift now, because again we're three

291
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: years away from from another election. Everybody's kind of backed

292
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: away from all of this, and it seems like the

293
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: way that her engagement was received, it wasn't there wasn't

294
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: nearly as much. Oh I can't stand these two. Get

295
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: these off my TV. I can't believe that. Like that

296
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: seems to have Wayne. So the overall acceptance level of

297
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is at a much different place than it was. Hear,

298
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: but she.

299
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: Also became part of the fabric of what was going on.

300
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: Like at first, it was a novelty, right because.

301
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people had their betting odds for

302
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: when they were going to break up or whether it

303
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: was real or a fabricated story of them even being

304
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: together or whatever. You believe what you're gonna believe. I

305
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: can't tell you how to feel on that. But in

306
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: the end, now you've got an engagement, when it's set,

307
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: when they actually get married, that becomes, you know, the

308
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: next act in this whole story. But you've got an

309
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: album coming out, You've got you know, President Trump just saying, oh,

310
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: I love this for track, like all of a sudden,

311
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: you know the positivity there, but I think we I

312
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: think the cutaways over understarted to drift because it was

313
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: no longer like she was just there, like she's just

314
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: becomes another fan. Now, if you happen to be in

315
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: the skybox next to her, or you're underneath and you're

316
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: looking up and wanting to see how many times she

317
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: takes a sip from a cup or how she reacts

318
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: to a big play, then then sure you did that.

319
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: But I don't.

320
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 4: I don't think the broadcast necessarily focused the same way

321
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: this last year either, because it was assumed, if possible,

322
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: she was going to be in the building once that

323
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: tour was over. So now we move into this next cycle,

324
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: and sure there'll be the excitement we've seen it. I'm

325
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 4: sure I gotta imagine she's in Brazil, I would think so, I.

326
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: Would imagine sorr Yeah, yeah, I would think so. Maybe

327
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: maybe she'll do the halftime. You don't know, she'd be

328
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: a surprised halftime performer.

329
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: I wouldn't perform on that field. I don't think you

330
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: didn't get the.

331
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, All of a sudden, she steps down and

332
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: twists and ankle and the number of those answers and stuff.

333
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: Now, that's too dangerous.

334
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: She's like Axel singing on the throne when he heard

335
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: his uh, when he heard his foot before the beginning. Yeah,

336
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: nicely done, tay Tail iron throne. But what would that

337
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: say if the NFL says, Hey, no, Taylor, we don't

338
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: want you on this field. You're putting the Chase and.

339
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: The Chargers on this horrible field.

340
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is tell.

341
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: He's more important.

342
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: We can't have her on the field. Oh man, all right, fine,

343
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: but again it will she's been she's much more widely

344
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: accepted by fans. That would be a much different experience,

345
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: and it already is a different experience.

346
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: Well, I went up there, you know, to Levi's last

347

Speaker 1: couple minutes. But this Kawhi Leonard story today.

381
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: Honestly exactly just like that.

382
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: The Clippers and Steve Balmer, owner of the Clippers, reportedly

383
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 1: have been accused of circumventing the salary cap of the

384
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: NBA by paying Kawhi Leonard twenty eight million dollars for

385
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: a no show job. Okay, Pablo Tory, who now has

386
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: become the investigative journalism journalist of the twenties, now, yeah, yes,

387
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: he will find out. Pablo Tory finds out, Wait, all

388
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: the insiders are running out opposed. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah,

389
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: so he's now investigating his own space. Pablo Tory finds out, hey,

390
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: it was a hot take guy on ESPN front. Now

391
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm instead, I'm gonna going to be an investigative journalist.

392
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: So he has this story today that the Clippers and

393
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer in a way to get Kawhi Leonard more

394
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: money but not having to worry about paying over the

395
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: salary cap and getting into luxury taxes and different aprons.

396
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: Everything said, Hey, we're gonna get you the twenty eight

397
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 1: million dollars has an endorsement deal for this company that

398
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. So the company is called Aspiration, which, according

399
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: to reports, is a tree planning company like Hey and Kawhi.

400
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: Leonard was given twenty eight million dollars to be the

401
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: brand ambassador and do things for this company. And as

402
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Pablotoria is reporting, yeah, there was no job. It was

403
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: a company that was bankrupt. And know how about this

404
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: planning trees? Oh come on, we couldn't have been adopting

405
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: puppies and getting little kittens homes and everything.

406
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: That wearing a big mustache's planning to speak for the trees.

407
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: So this was a way for the Clippers to get

408
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Kawhi extra money again and getting around the salary cap.

409
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: The Clippers say this is false, but Pablo Toori has

410
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: found this out. Uh so this what what is it?

411
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: This is the extension of college football where you find

412
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: out you know, up until nil Era, where uh the

413
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: quarterback got five hundred dollars a week for working at

414
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: the local car dealership and all he had to do

415
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: was show up and pick up the check on Friday

416
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: like that, Like that's what this is. This is a

417
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: note showed job. Oh yeah, he works her. He in turnsare

418
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: we pay him?

419
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 8: Now?

420
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: I show up and I collect a fire hundred dollar

421
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: check on Friday night from Pontiac dealership whatever I shouldn't

422
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: say names of cars, uh from whatever dealer show. Well,

423
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: they make Pontiacs the more because I could say that

424
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they make ponies. I think Lemon, we've

425
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: created the Pontiac Aztec. So uh, this is what this is.

426
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: It's a college chop and the Kawhi Leonard just getting

427
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: money for not showing up for And look, the big

428
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: thing of it is this is a big deal, not

429
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: just because while here's Kawhi Leonard and salary cap money,

430
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: but honestly, do you think they're the only team that

431
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: dead is doing this? Like how deep does this go

432
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: past Kawhi? Like you found out Kawhi Leonard right, And

433
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: then apparently Jalen Brunson's the next investigation because he took

434
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: way bless money uh to stay with the Knicks, and

435
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: it's like, by you're gonna lose that one hundred and

436
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars there like Jalen Brunson's now the next

437
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: investigation's supposedly gonna get to like Uh, I'll be the

438
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: first one to tell you, Yeah, there's no way this

439
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: is the only team that does is everybody hears about

440
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: business how things are done. Now, anybody that's signs for

441
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: some word or maybe you're you're a guy signing for

442
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 1: the Max and still a way to get you an

443
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: extra thirty million dollars. I got a sneaking suspicion that

444
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: this is not going to be the only story TJ

445
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: that we find out about this. Besides cool, but it's

446
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of a lot of companies that are

447
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: out there right, subsidiaries and everything else, like oh, I

448
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: won't support what they do, like you know, they own

449
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: they're owned by this company that you hate and whatever.

450
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: In this particular case, you know, you're talking about trying

451
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: to add that plausible deniability. It's like, hey, that was

452
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: part of a company and what he and the Clippers saying, well,

453
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: what his dealings are, we have no control over that,

454
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: and okay, fine. You know, trying to figure out that

455
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: line of demarcation and separation is interesting. But to your

456
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: very point, it's the where's how's the sausage made? Right?

457
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: This is if he showed up for a speaking engagement,

458
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 4: is it always the sneaker appearance that we're gonna go

459
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 4: to or is it funded somewhere? You know at show up,

460
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: shake hands, kiss babies, and you get up speaker fee,

461
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: nobody questions it. And money laundry, oh yeah, is the

462
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 4: next level to it?

463
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: This was, But I'm not nobody's surprised, right, it's the

464
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: handshake agreements in college going all the way back, and

465
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: yes we're in Los Angeles, you know where you have

466
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: the famous bag man going back to UCLA and everything else.

467
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: All of those are well documented. And to think that

468
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: every business deal or signing didn't have something else to it, right,

469
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, go to all your big signings. You could say,

470
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: well he took a hometown discount. Dad was on stand.

471
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: Well no, you know, the union raises their hand immediately

472
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: if a guy that should be top of market signs

473
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: for less. Right, Remember how everybody castigated Brady all those

474
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: years like it's holding back to the market. It's like, no,

475
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: he's the outlier. He chooses to do that because he's

476
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: got tons of money. It doesn't matter. But all the

477
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: way through now you're looking at all of the different

478
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: endorsement deals, all of the do you have to show receipts.

479
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: Is this kind of like the nil thing that you

480
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: have to submit to some clearinghouse before you actually know.

481
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: We have to prove that this company actually exists and

482
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: that you actually show up and do some kind I

483
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: want to see a shovel in the dirt man exit

484
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. We have that

485
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: big NFL story coming up in a few minutes. But

486
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: it's a nice thing to segue from Kawhi Leonard to

487
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: the biggest Clipper fan we have here from someone who's

488
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: been called the Kawhi Leonard of Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,

489
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: she's had some no show jobs and she wears new Balance.

490
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: It's Monty Belanyas.

491
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 5: I don't wear a lot of new Balance. I also

492
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 5: don't have a big hand like he does.

493
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: If you had a super wide foot like me, you

494
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: would wear a new balance, you know I have.

495
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 5: I have ran in new balances. You're right, and they

496
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: are comfy. Yes, you're right now that you say that

497
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 5: I have some I have ran in new balances, but

498
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 5: I don't wear a lot of new Balance.

499
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 9: But I should go Kawhi.

500
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: It's Kawhi. You're supporting Kawhi.

501
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 9: I am supporting Kawhi.

502
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: I can't plan are for Kawhi anymore. So you know,

503
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: Bia sneakers.

504
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 9: If I had twenty eight million, I would give it

505
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 9: to him. You know what I'm saying.

506
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: All Right, it's not like it's not like why are

507
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 5: people mad, It's not like we want a championship.

508
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 9: We got nothing out of it.

509
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: We've gotten nothing out of it except joke after joke

510
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: after joke that he's unavailable.

511
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 9: So he's unavailable for two jobs.

512
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Well, yeah, he's a little bit more available

513
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: for the Clippers than to plant trees.

514
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 9: I love it a spitch.

515
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, what I mean?

516
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: It all goes back to Uncle Dennis. Man. Remember all

517
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,919

Speaker 3: asks that he had back in the day.

519
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,040

520
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 4: get He wanted to suit up every fourth quarter.

521
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: I mean at everything.

522
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't care Kawhi.

523
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: I could go plant trees.

524
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 3: Were all like here, great, we'll get in planting trees.

525

560
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: team closer.

561
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 9: I know, seriously, they jumped the Reds. I know they

562
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 9: jumped the Reds.

563
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I know. Craft going on.

564
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 3: Her lantern, turned back on the clock and away we go.

565
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go plant a tree and calm down and

566
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: calm down.

567
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: Take some time.

568
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: So with tomorrow being the beginning of the NFL season, right, happy,

569
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: happy NFL Eve, we made it. Uh, after this summer

570
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: and seeing what the future might hold, it might be

571
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: time to end hard knocks. Okay, the Bills Hard Knocks

572
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: just end. Did you even know that it was still on? No,

573
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: there was not one time, not one time anywhere this

574
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: summer was it ever trending on social media? Were there

575
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: of her conversations about the Bill's Hard Knocks Nowhere? It

576
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: was absolutely invisible. I'll the first one to tell you

577
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: I don't know a single thing that happened on it

578
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: because there was nothing that made me want to see it.

579
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna say an obvious miss here, because you

580
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: had a star of one of the biggest movies of

581
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: the year that's tangential.

582
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: I mean, she's she's.

583
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 4: Married to the star of this bill's show. No vision.

584
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 4: See yeah, still it straight from the script, no vision.

585
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 4: You did nothing to promote this, getting Haley Steinfeld in

586
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: or doing anything really with Josh.

587
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: Allen to try to push the narrative.

588
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: It has been a summer where this got zero attention,

589
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: zero buzz zero. And now there's a couple of reasons

590
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: for this. Part of it is the overall excitement of

591
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: the inside look at NFL teams that's kind of gone

592
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: by the wayside now where at this point you can

593
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: get any kind of coverage you want of your team,

594
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: you get the flavor stories going on. It's no longer hey,

595
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting something I've never I'm getting a training camp

596
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: view of this team. Like we've seen that now for

597
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: twenty some addumors. Right, we've seen that from training camp.

598
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: But the other part of it, and this is just

599
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: a big deal to say, the other part of the

600
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: cause of death of for Hard Knocks is the Giants

601
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: offseason Hard Knocks last year. Because now that teams are

602
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: fighting back, they don't want to be on Hard Knocks.

603
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: Teams want to have more control. The NFL wants to

604
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: have more control of things. The Hard Knocks in the

605
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: offseason was so incredibly embarrassing for the Giants because, Hey,

606
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: for the cameras, they sold up the Saquon Barkley angle

607
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: of Hey, I don't want Saquon Barkley someplace. I'd want

608
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: to go to the Eagles and start running like crazy.

609
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: And it was a pretty good offseason hard Knocks, right,

610
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: because that became the dominant storyline season. So here comes Saquon.

611
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: Not that the Giants would have been great with, say

612
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley, No, but Barkley goes to division rival, they

613
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, and that became a topic of

614
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: conversation peppered in throughout the entire season. The Giants are saying,

615
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: we're never doing that again, and other teams are saying

616
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: we don't want to be to sign up for them.

617
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: We're not gonna be that team, no way, And so

618
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: you're getting all sorts of vanilla content now because nobody

619
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: wants to be the Giants again. So if this is

620
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get, I mean, here's the bills on

621
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: hard If you just what you're gonna get, why are

622
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: you having it? Because again, there was absolutely zero attention

623
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: on it this summer.

624
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had no idea. At some point I was

625
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 4: looking for something to watch and I scrolled past huh

626
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: that's the thing. Huh. And I love Josh Allen right

627
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 4: a champion him since he came out out of college

628
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 4: all of this stuff.

629
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm curious of what this team is. I had no

630
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: inclination to watch it.

631
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: Like, what am I gonna learn that we haven't seen

632
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: a million snippets on Josh Allen and the stars of

633
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: that squad. Go to James Cook, what we're gonna get

634
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: a little bit of what his contract situation was before

635
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: he signed No we're not getting much of anything Jews wise.

636
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: The last two teams were the the uh, the two

637
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 4: teams that didn't want to do it right, the old standouts,

638
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 4: the Bears. They basically said, well, we don't want to

639
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 4: be cursing on the show. Okay, so you lose some

640
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: of those fiery moments that have been left indelible marks

641
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: because those have become viral moments that people have used

642
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: for sound bites and such during during their time.

643
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 3: I mean, for the.

644
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 4: Bears, you had the eber Flus episode where it was

645
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: all about him manicuring his beard and getting his haircut

646
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 4: and his wife's saying how hot he looked?

647
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 5: Really?

648
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's and then I got DJ Moore and his family,

649
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: great little story. Great, then went to an ice cube museum.

650
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: I want to go to the ice cream museum. Yeah,

651
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: but I didn't need to watch him and his family take.

652
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing, there's any others embarrassed so long, like we've

653
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: seen that so long. Okay, here they're doing this, here's

654
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: the rookies, here's this, here's all that. Right, but all

655
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: of these players now do it themselves.

656
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: Right.

657
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 4: If they want you in their lives, they're showing it

658
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: and every team's got a social media team that's trying

659
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 4: to get you to love the players. So if you're

660
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: a Jets fan, you got all sorts of individual Jets

661
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: guys that you're gonna know everything about.

662
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: It's twenty questions.

663
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: Okay, but still look for the Jets like that was

664
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: it was Rogers first time. It was interesting because it

665
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: was Rogers with the Jets. I like stuff like the

666
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: mentals even though I knew everything going on, and it

667
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: was still fun to see. That's why the combination is Okay,

668
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: it's got to be something interesting and the bill's not interesting.

669
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: But when you're coming off the Giants, and I think

670
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that are saying, whoa not

671
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: us man? You saw it had that killed the Giants,

672
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: That killed the Giants. Last year we watched.

673
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: Joe Shane and we watched Mara and the ownership. We're

674
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: gonna hit out because I know sound clips and we're

675
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: gonna tell you we're gonna give you zero content. We're

676
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: just gonna do fun stuff. We don't want the cameras here.

677
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 3: Well they didn't even want to do the cuts anymore.

678
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, Which was always the anticipation because you always

679
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 4: had that build up of two or three players, like, oh,

680
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: which guy's gonna get cut? It's like watching one of

681
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: the dating reality shows, like oh, who's getting the most

682
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 4: screen time? Yeah, one of those guys getting axed because

683
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: they're gonna milk whatever their their angst is as far

684
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: as they can go, survivor go on in any of

685
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: the series The Traders, I watch a lot of reality

686
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 4: television with my kids, as you can tell. I got

687
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 4: to keep up with what they're watching at times, so

688
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 4: we canna have those conversations and I could slip in

689
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 4: things about schoolwork and jobs and things of that nature.

690
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: But for the Giants, like they became a laughingstock.

691
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: The overall message, as we've talked about since it happened,

692
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: like Saquan was worth a half a win maybe one

693
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 4: with that team as constructed, take them behind a great

694
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 4: offensive line with Jalen Hurts with what's set up in Philadelphia,

695
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: Tada he has the year he does. You're not doing

696
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 4: that with the Giants. But that becomes because Tracy was

697
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: a solid back. He wasn't great, but you had a

698
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 4: couple of components. You had Molik Neighbors with his one

699
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy targets. You had our guy in the

700
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 4: back feel Tracy and a lot of nothing, but you

701
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 4: had two sound bites.

702
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: Hey, you'll call us before you sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

703
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: I mean like no, no, Kim wants to be that

704
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: they're not going to give you great content and and

705
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: it's just going to be this vanilla stuff. I mean,

706
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: hard not the novel that this might be the right

707
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: time to end it really might be.

708
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: Tap it out or either that or show commercials during

709
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,720

761
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: to be personal there. Why he won't talk about him,

762
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Why he made him fly all the way to New

763
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: York so we can say you're fired. You Aaron Rodgers today,

00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 8: something otherwise, I mean, speak for myself, I have to

773
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,200

Speaker 3: It soon he shuns it.

779
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, though, it's turning into the Sunday game of the

780
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: week with all the drama with Rogers back in New York.

781
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: It's turning into the Sunday game of the week with

782
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: everything going on towards it.

783
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: The Sunday game because Monday is clearly the game again.

784
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: That's why I said the Sunday.

785
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also have games Thursday and Friday, which

786
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: are pretty good Thursday Wednesday. But I'm gonna tell you

787
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: want a prediction for Sunday pain. The Jets are gonna

788
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: live in the Steelers backfield. Just watch. This is not

789
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a return to Met Life Stadium, and Rogers

790
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: is gonna walk around saying I own you, I own you.

791
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: The Jets defensive line, the Jets defense is pretty good.

792
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: They do have a lot of defensive tack back. Yeah,

793
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna play seven at one time. NBA able to

794
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: play fourteen on defense. But I have a lot of

795
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: confidence the Jets defense is going to be terrific this year. Look,

796
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn's a great DC. Now he's that obviously being

797
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: the head coach. But I know the kind of talent

798
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: level they have. They got guys and get after the quarterback.

799
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: Rogers is someone who was skittish last year in the pocket,

800
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: threw the ball away early, doesn't want to get hit anymore. Yeah,

801
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be the big triumphant in return for

802
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: him personally that he thinks it's gonna be. The Jets

803
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: are gonna Jets defense stream the Jets defense.

804
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 4: If I asked you, uh and I will over under

805
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: for his passing yards what would you set it at?

806
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: Would I set it at? Well, they don't throw the foot,

807
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: what would you anticipate? I would say it would be

808
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: at one seventy five two O two under under for

809
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers.

810
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't know that said justin Field's at one seventy three.

811
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: I mean under my wait, seventy three or one seventy

812
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: there's a one. Wait, let me let me make sure

813
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: if it was, Yeah, make sure, let me make sure

814
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: that my screen is clean. Uh no, I have that

815
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: it's one seventy three. Yeah, I'm going under for that too.

816
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: I'm going under for the game. I'm going under for

817
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: under for everything.

818
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: About his total rushing yards justin fields forty and a.

819
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Half over that, yeah, way over that, Yeah over that. Yeah,

820
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: he may have bore rushing yards and passing yards could happen. Now,

821
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: speaking of passing, we're getting set for tomorrow night Cowboys

822
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. Look, if I'd love for there to

823
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: be a way that I can say I think the

824
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys can win this game. Uh, the Eagles are gonna

825
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: wind up pulling away and winning this thing big. But

826
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: the one thing I will tell you, Dak Prescott is

827
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw the football the entire game. I think he's

828
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: throwing the football now, gathering up stats, getting ready for two.

829
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: Way over, way over for Dak. They're gonna throw the

830
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: football from the jump to Mart's the only way they

831
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: can stay with Philadelphia. They're not gonna run it a lot,

832
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna try to control the ground. They are

833
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: gonna throw the foot because they know this is their

834
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: only way out. The Cowboys only escape this year is

835
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: through the air to three pretty good targets, you know,

836
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: counting with Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens and Ferguson. They

837
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: got some They got some dudes there that can catch

838
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: the ball. And remember fergus had a big year twenty

839
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: twenty three when Dak was healthy. Their only way out

840
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: is for Dak to throw it. You know, Jerry Jones

841
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: is gonna say, Dak save us after this disastrous Micah

842
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Parsons trade. So Dak's Dak's passing numbers through the roof.

843
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: He will have a big He'll throw for three hundred yards,

844
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. Big night for Dak. They'll still

845
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: get blown.

846
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 3: Out, but it pushed that.

847
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: Key line of seven, so we're all the way up

848
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: to plus eight or plus eight and a half for

849
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. Forty seven and a half is the total.

850
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 4: So looking at the aerial assault, Ferguson got paid, CD's

851
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 4: gotten paid. You wish they had a little bit of

852
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: balance in the backfield. Whether Blue My Boy, Come My

853
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: Guy and Javonte Williams are enough to give you any

854
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 4: kind of level of balance. I don't think so. I

855
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: would expect the Eagles to just run the ball, especially

856
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 4: after Jerry's quotes of Hey, we need to stop the run. Hey,

857
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 4: guess what, it's the Eagles on the other side that

858
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 4: offensive line. You're stopping nothing.

859
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: Again.

860
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be big stats wise. Otherwise I think it's

861
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna be the year for Dak. Hey, great stature for Dak.

862
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys will be six and eleven. It'll still

863
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: be a blowout, but they'll move the football and they

864
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: will throw it all night. I'll take the back door

865
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: cover exit out about a Fresca exit, swollen dome. Jason Smith,
