1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: When you're in this situation, you just need the teams 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: to win that are going to get you into the playoffs. 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't care about whether their arrival or whether they're 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or whatever. Like, just just get in. The offense 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: will be running. Uh. You know, the march accent is 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: feeling it right now. He's hot. No one forgets that 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: paint of the ankle.

That one 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: was better, thank you, Yeah, that one was. I think 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: I have a pretty good ho ho ho. That's the 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: easiest part though. That's everyone can kind of do the 14 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: ho ho ho. But then what once you get down, 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: we have to actually start talking. Then everyone kind of panics. 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: That's what That's why, that's why I say this sticks 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: with the ho ho ho. Yeah, that's all there is. 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: That's all there is, anyway. Welcome into the lounge. Uh, 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: we're a little excited for Christmas, because who's not this year? 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: Slash the holidays, sorry Christmas and the holidays overall, who's 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: not I mean, we needed this holiday season. I feel 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: like more than any year prior, I might be more 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: excited than my kids. You can't wait for Santa to 24 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: come down the chimney. Oh, I can't wait, can't wait. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: The got the milk and cookies ready to go. You 26 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: know who's eating those? They'd ever get to Santa. But 27 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: you know, everything's looking rosy right now. The Ravens are 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: riding a three game winning streak. Still not in playoff positions, 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: still need a little help, but you know, I'm feeling good. 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Ravens have pretty good chances of making the playoffs. Uh 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: and and playing good football right now. I mean, this 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: is the best football the Ravens have played. We've been 33 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: kind of waiting for this offense to click in the gear, 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: and it looks like they finally It. So a lot 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: to be happy about this holiday season. Yeah, for sure, 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about what 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens need because I think it happens. Um. I 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: feel less confident on that than I did two weeks ago. 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: I still think it happens, I do, but I'm nervous. 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous. And then we're also on the 41 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: back end of this episode going to do our Christmas 42 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: gift draft. So we've done some serious research both Perfect 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: Personal Experience and Google to determine a list of some 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: of the hottest Christmas items ever, not just this year, 45 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: not this year, but Christmas gifts in history. So we've 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: got an incredible list here, all the way back to 47 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: the Caveman years of fire together. You've got fire this 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: year for Christmas. Water not quite that far, not quite 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: that far, But there's some good ones. There's there's there's 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: some classics here like beanie babies. Just a little teaser 51 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: is that? Is that a little hint on where you 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: have beatie babies? Right? Do you gotta slinky? Some good 53 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: ones on that list. So we're gonna get into that 54 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: in a little bit, but we do want to talk 55 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: about where this team stands, how they're playing right now, 56 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: um and sending some questions for next episode. You can 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: email us at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. 58 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: So the game against Jacksonville, I mean, that was just 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: what you wanted to see from the team, Like, go 60 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: out there, you're better than them. Double digit favorite take 61 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: care of business game, never really in question, never really nervous. 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: I guess the only kind of nervous moment of that 63 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: game was maybe after the opening interception by Lamar, but 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: a few plays later you get the safety, and then 65 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: from there it was like, all right, all right, this 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: is we're good. We're good, we're here. As soon as 67 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: the safety happened, I was like, yes, games over, yeah 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: to nothing lead. Quite frankly, I didn't really I wasn't 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: super worried about the interception. It was just like, yeah, 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens are playing too good a ball right now 71 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: to lose to a Jags team like that. But you 72 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: do have to say, I mean, the Jackson plays some 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: teams tight, you know. I mean, and looking around the league, 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: when you see the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 75 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: it makes you appreciate a little bit more what the 76 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: Ravens did and just taking care of business, which is 77 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: they've done a good job of under John Harball overall, 78 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 1: and in particular since Lamar Jackson has been the quarterback, 79 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: Like there aren't really any stinkers, you know. Yeah, it 80 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: looked I mean, and that that's gonna be valuable down 81 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: the stretch here when you're facing teams that are all 82 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: sub five. Yeah, well, I think that it sounds like Coachbeak. 83 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: But like beating any team is is, there's value, it's important, 84 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: and you can't just that was certainly a game that 85 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: the Ravens should win, um, But there is something to 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: be said for going out there and take care of 87 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: business and doing it efficiently, um, and the Ravens were 88 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: able to do that in that game. And I think 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: it just the Ravens are in a spot now where 90 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: if they're going to make the playoffs, they are gonna 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: go into the playoffs winners of five straight. They would 92 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: obviously have to win Sunday. This is the most likely scenario. 93 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I suppose there's other scenarios where they may not win 94 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: these next two games against the Giants, that against the Bengals, 95 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: but most likely, if they're gonna make the playoffs, they're 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: gonna go into the playoffs winners a five straight and 97 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: playing hot football. UM. I feel like I said that 98 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: like three weeks ago on the pod. I think I 99 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: said that this team is gonna get hot, go and 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: winners a five straight, and you're like cart before the horse. 101 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: Here we are here we are. Yeah, I mean, I 102 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: think this is the team that there's already a little 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: some whispers about this, but this is this will be 104 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: the team that nobody wants to face if the Ravens 105 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: do you you end up getting getting into the playoffs, because 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna be hot, They're gonna be on the road, 107 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: which I like for the team in the playoffs, I'd 108 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: rather than I was talking to somebody about this, Marisol 109 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Renter in our PR department, and now was saying, you 110 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: know what, and think back to all the big Ravens 111 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: wins that they've had in recent years. Have you which 112 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: ones were at home? Because I have trouble remember any 113 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: like almost all of them on the road. Yeah, And 114 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: so I just like this team in that position, you know, 115 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: especially after the past two years of losing a home 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: playoff game. Go back on the road. Man, the right 117 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: evens a road dogs in the playoffs back in the 118 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco era. So let's let's take Lamar back on 119 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: the road because he plays well there too. Um So, 120 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I think this will be a hot team. The offense 121 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: will be running. Uh, you know, Lamar Jackson is feeling 122 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: it right now. He's hot. The defense, I think once 123 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: you get healthy in the secondary, the defense is gonna 124 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: be really good. Plus the pass rush is gonna have 125 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: been cranked up. It's it already got cranked up against 126 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: the Jags, and it's only gonna get better, I think 127 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: in the next two games against two teams that allow 128 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: a lot of sacks. So I think the pass rush 129 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: is gonna continue to to really uh show its teeth. 130 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, this team is gonna be really good. And 131 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: when you look around the rest of the division or 132 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the conference, here's the Steelers of struggling, 133 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the Chiefs are still the team 134 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: that you look at is the tough one to get by. 135 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: But they've floated some played some really close games, and 136 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: the home has been throwing more interceptions recently. They're not 137 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: unbeatable by any stretch of the imagination. The Ravens just 138 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: have to do it. They haven't done it yet. I 139 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: gotta do it if they face him. And you know, 140 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: I'll welcome another rematch with the Titans. I'll go against 141 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: the Colts again, sure, bring it on. I'll go against 142 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: the Bills, right. I think now you sound like me 143 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: getting really looking down the line here, But I think 144 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: that I feel good about any team that the Ravens 145 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: would play in the postseason, with the exception of the Chiefs, 146 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: of the team that would make me the most nervous. 147 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: I think the Raves would be favored. Maybe not against 148 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: the Bills in Buffalo, but every other team. I gotta 149 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: believe that they would probably be favored going into that game. 150 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: Titans maybe anyway, I think that there's a good chance 151 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: that they do, especially with if they're rolling, they continue 152 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: to play like they have the past couple of weeks. Um, 153 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: So what's wait, I got a question for you. I 154 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: got a question for you. Are you? Are you purchasing 155 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: a terrible towel? So we need we need the Steelers 156 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: to rebound these next two games. They have the Colts next, 157 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: and they finish in Cleveland. And if they win either 158 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: one of those games and the Ravens went out, the 159 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: Ravens are in the playoffs. So suddenly Baltimore is pooling 160 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh to get it back on track after losing 161 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: three straight. It feels weird, but I also was cheering 162 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: for the Patriots to beat the Dolphins on Sunday. Obviously 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. But when you're in this situation. You 164 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: just need the teams to win that are going to 165 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: get you into the playoffs. I don't care about whether 166 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: their arrival or whether there's Pittsburgh or whoever, Like, just 167 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: just get in. And then my question still stands, would 168 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: you ever would you ever wear wave a terrible towel? Like, 169 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: if it came down to it, you gotta wave that 170 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: terrible towel for Steelers win? You doing it? Well? Sure? 171 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: Sure if if if me waving a terrible towel gets 172 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: to stand in the playoffs, sure I didn't. I'm not 173 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: so prideful that I couldn't do that. But am I 174 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: gonna be purchasing a terrible towel? No, I'm not gonna 175 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: buy one. But if that was the magic wand, if 176 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: all I had to do was with that magic wand 177 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: and the Ravens are in the playoffs, sure, you're disgusting. 178 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: You're disgusting. You wave a terrible towel, that's a that's 179 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: a black mark on you for the rest of your life. 180 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: That's a stain. Whatever the team needs, whatever it takes, 181 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: that's for the rest of your life. That doesn't wash off. 182 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: So all right, So here's here's the thing, So that 183 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: you laid out that one scenario, the other scenario that 184 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: is most likely if the Ravens are gonna make the 185 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: playoffs would be Miami's playing the Raiders on Sunday if 186 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: they lose that game, and then they play the Bills 187 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: in weeks seventeen. So if Miami loses either of those games, 188 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: and again this is all assuming that the Ravens beat 189 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: the Giants to beat the Bengals to finish the season 190 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: eleven and five. If Miami loses one of those two, 191 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: then the Ravens would also be in. And if Miami 192 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: loses both of those games, which is a possibility certainly, 193 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: then the Ravens could drop one and still get it 194 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: right because they would get in ahead of Miami. Right now. 195 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: Um yeah, but the thing that concerns me the most 196 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: with Miami is a the Raiders aren't playing very well 197 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: right now and Derek Carr's hurt, right, So I'd probably 198 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: say Miami's favorite in that game, and then the Bills. 199 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: The Bills might have nothing to play for in the 200 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: final week if they don't have a shot at a 201 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: first round by you know, it would be great if 202 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: the Chiefs had lost to New Orleans this past Sunday, 203 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: and that would have made the bye. Put the bye 204 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: much more up in the air to give the Bills 205 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: something to play for weeks seven team, because I do 206 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: think that if the Bills have something to play for 207 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: that final week the season, then they probably beat the Dolphins. 208 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: Like they're the better team, certainly, um, but if they're 209 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: just in cruise control, rests the starters or pool the 210 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: starters at halftime or whatever, you just hate that, you know, 211 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: and then the Dolphins pool one out, you definitely hate that. Um. Yeah. 212 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: And then with the Steelers, if they were to lose 213 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: with the Colts, then they would be playing the Browns 214 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen, most likely assuming the Browns went this 215 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: weekend for the opportunity to win the division. So obviously 216 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna have I mean, so when I was watching 217 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: the game between the Steelers and the Bengals, initially the 218 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Steelers fall behind I think seventeen nothing, and I'm like, 219 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: this team is gonna lose out. This team is gonna 220 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: lose out. They sink they falling apart, they've collapsed, and 221 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: suddenly I don't feel so good about the Ravens. Chance 222 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: like I don't feel good about Pittsburgh beating the Colts 223 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: are beating the Browns. The Browns and the Colts looks 224 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: like better teams right now. However, I was sexy with 225 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: a friend and he kind of swayed me at the 226 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: other direction, which is now the Steelers have kind of 227 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,359 Speaker 1: a back against the wall. They can't they're in the playoffs, 228 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: but if they want to win the division game home 229 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: playoff game, they've got to win one of these next 230 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: two games. So, I mean, they've been embarrassed. I mean, 231 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: if losing to Washington wasn't as embarrassing enough, now you're 232 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: riding a three game skid like you are desperate to 233 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: pull out of this because obviously the last thing they 234 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: wanted to going into the playoffs loses a five street. Uh, 235 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: so they got to figure it out, and you know, 236 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: I think that they can. So I kind of looked 237 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: at that game as I didn't mind the Steelers lost 238 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: there for the reason of, you know, it's gonna make 239 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: Week seventeen all that much better, make that more competitive, um, 240 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: and you know, it didn't really hurt the Ravens or 241 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: help the Ravens. And I always just enjoyed watching the 242 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: Steelers lose. Yeah, I mean, just from a rooting gets 243 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: the Steelers standpoint, that was great. I also think that 244 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin does a good job of coaching when his 245 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: team needs to win, like the past couple of years. 246 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: What was it last year they started owing four and 247 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: then they still find themselves found themselves coming down to 248 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: the wire. I mean, they couldn't if they would have 249 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: made playoffs last year they won that game right against 250 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: US a week's seventeen. I think they needed some other 251 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: things to go their way. So I don't think so 252 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: right right, but they could have. They went into that 253 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: game playing for the playoff lives. Anyway, My point is 254 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: just I think Tomlin does a good job when his 255 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: team needs to get together and and win games in 256 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: order to get to the postseason. They typically come together 257 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: and play well. So I still think that one of 258 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: those teams will lose. I think that the Dolphins, the Colts, 259 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: Dolphins of the Colts will lose one of these next 260 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: two or the Browns will lose one of these next 261 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: two games. I I just I feel like it. You know, 262 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm a college football fan, and I feel like this 263 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: happens all the time. Early in the season when you're 264 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: starting to especially with the way it used to be 265 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: when only two teams to make the National Championship and 266 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: everyone's looking at it. I don't know if you finish 267 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: with if you your third in the rankings right now, 268 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: are you're gonna make the you're gonna make the National Championship. 269 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: Someone always loses. Someone always loses. And I just don't 270 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: think that the Browns, the Colts, and the Dolphins are 271 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: all good enough teams to each finish the season on 272 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: either a three or four game winning streak. I just 273 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: don't see those teams finishing out the regular season a 274 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: combined I think twelve and oh so, it would be 275 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: very historic for the Ravens to finish eleven and five 276 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: and not make the playoffs. Only two teams. That's only 277 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: happened twice in NFL history since which is when the 278 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: NFL went to a sixteen game schedule, right, so how 279 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: many years of that? Let's let's test their Matthew Garret 280 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: two h forty two years. Okay, if that's forty one 281 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: years only it's happened twice a team finished eleven and 282 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: five and didn't make the playoffs, and that's when there 283 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: were six playoff teams, not seven like this year. So 284 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: if the Ravens finished eleven and five and don't make it, wow, 285 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: that that's just I mean, not that you take any 286 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: solace in it making history for all the wrong reasons, 287 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: but crazy. Let's take a quick break and when we 288 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: come back, we'll continue this conversation this season. When you 289 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: trade up to Ram trucks, you're getting power, luxury and 290 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: technology like you never imagined. You don't become to back 291 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: to back motor trend truck of the year for nothing. 292 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: And with the RAM fifteen hundred you can get a 293 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: lot of everything.

All right, So just to continue that 299 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: conversation about how painful that would be, because I love that. 300 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: I love to talking about how painful that would be. 301 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it would be. It would be heartbreaking for 302 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: this team to be one of, if not the hottest 303 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: team in football at eleven and five and then be 304 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: left on the outside looking in, which is I just 305 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. My as nervous as 306 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: I give that a ten percent chance, which isn't zero, 307 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: but I give it. I just don't see that happening. Yeah, 308 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: that would be absolutely heartbreaking. Um, But anyway, let's let's 309 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: talk about happier things. Let's talk about happier things, and 310 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: that is the play of this offense right now. Okay, 311 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: this offense suddenly like some of the missing pieces are 312 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: coming together. And I'll and I'll admit, like I have 313 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: said a couple of times even on this podcast, that 314 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: I just didn't think that the Ravens would probably get 315 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: over their shortcomings this year, like they could get better. 316 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: But it wasn't like they were gonna fix everything. And 317 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sitting here saying like they fixed 318 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: the offense. It's back to last year's offense and all that. 319 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: But I'm Tonia, there's some signs like the Ravens checked 320 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: some boxes that they've been missing all season. In that 321 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: Jags game, suddenly you have the forty some yard throw 322 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: down the sideline to Hollywood like that. We've been waiting, 323 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, a dozen weeks for that one to happen, right. 324 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: You have an offensive line that is jelling right now 325 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: because you have some consistency up there. Orlando Brown pro bowler, 326 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown ye playing really well. Left tackle Ben Powers 327 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: has stepped in. You know, the Ravens were searching for 328 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: that right guard for a long time. It looks like 329 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: Ben Powers has stepped in and he's playing pretty darn well, 330 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: especially as a run blocker right tackle center. I mean, 331 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: the offensive line is coming together at running back. Their 332 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: feeding the beast j Ken and Gus that you know 333 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: the run game is. I'll tell you that is a 334 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: nice one to comment because j K speed to the 335 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: edge is a difference maker, man, Like, he just spreads 336 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: out a defense. That was kind of the problem earlier 337 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: in the season and for much of the season for 338 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: this offense is you couldn't spread the defense out horizontally 339 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: or vertically. Really, they were just backed in the middle 340 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: of the field. And now j K is spreading them 341 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,479 Speaker 1: out horizontally because of those jet sweeps, Like he just 342 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: gets the edge so fast that those edge defenders now 343 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: have another thing to think about. They just can't only 344 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: think about Lamar right, They have to account for j 345 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: K getting to the edge, and that is really I 346 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: think helped open things up for this offense. And then vertically, 347 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: like I said, with the Hollywood deep ball, now you're 348 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: stretching in vertically, so that really just makes the whole 349 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: operation work a lot, a lot smoother. Yeah. Well, also 350 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: when j K gets out there to the edge, that 351 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: opens up the middle of the field for Lamar to 352 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: run through there. And he is so good, like, yes, 353 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: he would be running between the tackles, but it's not 354 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: running between the tackles like a running back. He's running 355 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: when he he has such good vision in the middle 356 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: of the field to find kind of a crease and 357 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: then take it um. And then when j K is 358 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: spreading out the defense, he can find some big creases 359 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: in there. Uh you know, like the Cowboys game when 360 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: when the linebackers just went the wrong direction and he 361 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: had nothing but green grass in front of him, so 362 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: he didn't get but he didn't run like the Jags 363 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: kind of bottled up Lamar. Surprisingly, that was one thing 364 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: I was surprised in from the game. But I don't 365 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: expect that to continue. And how many times has Lamar 366 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: run all over the NFC East this year? I mean 367 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: it's practically been the same play. He's had long touchdown 368 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: runs against Washington, Dallas, and Philadelphia this year. Let's see 369 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: if you can get the last not what's the what's 370 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: the four, not the trifecta quad effect. Let's see if 371 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: you can get the quadfected this week. And look, he 372 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: is carrying the ball more lately for more success. Hundred 373 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: twenty four yards against Cleveland, against Dallas, and then only 374 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: thirty five again Jacksonville. But you know that's not a 375 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: game he where he needed to And if there's gonna 376 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: be a game where you don't want him running a 377 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: month as much, it's the Jacksonville game when you win 378 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: in fourteen. So um, I also think that he there's 379 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: confidence building on this team, and I just thought that 380 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: that was something that the team needed. Ah, you're on offense, 381 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: they needed to have some games where they started to 382 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: have fun again. And they are having fun on this offense. 383 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: And whether it's I don't know what, you know what 384 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: it is, it's changed, but I just think that, like, 385 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: this is a team that feeds off success, and now 386 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: they're having success. And maybe, just to be honest, part 387 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: of it is that the teams that they're playing recently 388 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: aren't as good as some of the teams they played 389 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: earlier in the season. That's it is, it is it 390 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: is now. Cleveland is uh not really there. They don't 391 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: play into that. UM. Cleveland is just a good team. UM, 392 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: and the Ravens played a really good game against him, 393 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: so I would kind of remove them from that. But 394 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: beating Dallas is not a good team. Jacksonville is not 395 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: a good team, and the Ravens were able to, I think, 396 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: have success and now they're feeding off of that. So 397 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: I think Hollywood is gonna be huge down the stretch. 398 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: I think that it was huge to get Dez Bryant 399 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: his first touchdown down the stretch. Um, it's gonna be 400 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: big down the stretch. And I just think that, like 401 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: the other part of this, as the Ravens go through 402 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: these final couple of weeks, I think it's gonna be 403 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: critical to get healthy. Clay's Campell didn't play against Shacksonville. 404 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: They need him in the playoffs. Marcus Peters didn't play. 405 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: Those are two guys who can be difference makers for 406 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: the team and if they get healthy and these are 407 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, against Jacksonville. If that were the Super Bowl. 408 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: Those guys probably would have played right, but you didn't 409 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: need them against Jacksonville. Get them healthy, um and then 410 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: get to a point where, hopefully in the playoffs there 411 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: are close to it. And that's gonna be like getting 412 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, you get you get a shot in 413 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 1: the arm late in the season, which doesn't happen much. 414 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: But if that can be the case for those two guys, 415 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: that would be and Jimmy Smith too. I left him Mountain, 416 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: so I think that would be huge. Yeah, totally. I 417 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: mean the secondary right now is kind of like the 418 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: sleeping giant, you know what I mean, Like once once 419 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: you get everybody back out there, because that's been they 420 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: haven't been getting as many turnovers recently. I need I 421 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: need a little fruit punch, man, little fruit punch. It's 422 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: like a nice holiday drink. What do you put in? 423 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: What do you put in a fruit punch for the 424 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: holidays to really spice it up? What do you think rum? 425 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: Would that be wrong? What's what's the no not wrung? 426 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: What's like a nice Christmas liqueur? I'm fruit punch recipes. Yeah, 427 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't have to google this, but anyway, I need 428 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: fruit punch with a little alcohol. In it in these 429 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: next two games. Uh, And because I really do think 430 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: that the defense, you know, they've been giving up. Now, 431 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: they didn't give up that many yards against the Jags, 432 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: but the previous two weeks obviously the yards were higher 433 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: than you'd like it to be. Um, Now, that's okay, 434 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, because you're you're not gonna just handcuff the 435 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs if you get to the playoffs or the Titans probably, 436 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: but you know, some of these really good offenses, you 437 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: need to get turnovers. So I think that's kind of 438 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: the next step. Once the Ravens get healthy in the 439 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: secondary and whatnot, and like I said, get the pass 440 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: rush going, then we could see him get back to 441 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: getting some more turnovers too. You know what, you should 442 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: put your fruit punch? What's that some Crown Royal. Oh, 443 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: well done, sir, pay them, pay them bills. Also, you 444 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: need to make sure that you're mixing some water between 445 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: those Crown Royal fruit punches. Crown roy wants to remind 446 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: you to take a water break and moderate your drinking. 447 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: Stay hydrated, stay royal, Crown Royal Canadian whiskey. You like that, 448 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: that's why you're a pro?

But but that leaves you a very 500 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: very solid number two. And that is a bike. That 501 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: is a bike, you know, because Garrett, I'm not like you, 502 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: just some just some pasty kids sitting on this couch 503 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: playing video games all day. I get out and ride 504 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: my bike because I'm an athlete and you're not. I 505 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: was just looking through here, and I'll give it you. 506 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: I was gonna take bike if you didn't take bike, 507 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: if you screwed it up somehow, which I'm shocked you didn't. 508 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: I'll give you credit. You didn't screw it. What's just 509 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: saying a lot for you. But the bike is a 510 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: good It's the only outdoor oriented activity we have on here, 511 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: so clearly we're indoor cats, all right. Number three, Actually, 512 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: we do have another outdoor thing, and I'm gonna take 513 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: it right here. It's here's the thing though, Razor scooters 514 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: aren't that great. Like, do have you ever wridden those things? 515 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: When you whip that around and it catches you in 516 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: the ankle? Oh? That he is so bad kind of suck. 517 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: That's a pain that when you feel that for no 518 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: one forgets that pain of the ankle. The ankle shot 519 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: from the razor scooter hurts like a mother. Oh yeah. 520 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: But but natural athletes, as scooter pros like myself, we 521 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: we don't have. You're not a scooter pro. You've been 522 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: hitting the ankles so many times. That's why you're just 523 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: a sitting duck in the pocket and play football too 524 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: many razor scooter shots to the ankles. Alright, I'm glad 525 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: I got the I almost overlooked it. I did the 526 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: whole long side. I know. I was like, is he 527 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: gonna blow this? And then if you blow this and 528 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: I taking bike and race, that would have been But okay, okay, 529 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: that's okay because that leads me with a very solid 530 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: number four, and that's Hungry Hungry Hippos, which is, this 531 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: is a great game, just a fantastic game. It's it's fun. 532 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: You can do it for a long time, like that 533 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: game never gets old. I could play Hungry Hungry Hippos 534 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: right now. Seriously, if somebody just came up to me 535 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: right now and said, you want to play a game 536 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: of Hungry Hungry Hippos, I would be like, yeah, yes, 537 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: that game is timeless.

That is, 543 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: books were a great, a great item that you would 544 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: get the huge case with them. Then you would have 545 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: the slammers, like the metal ones with the the slammers. 546 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: When you would get a couple of slammers, those things 547 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: were incredible. And after Christmas, you would show up at 548 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: school the next week and then everyone have the new 549 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: parks and you start wheeling and dealing those things. That's 550 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be doing. I'm gonna ride my Razor 551 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: scooter when I finally come out of the basement, bring 552 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: my parks to school, and I'm gonna be wheeling and 553 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: dealing with the other kids. I feel great about the trap. 554 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: Here's here's the thing, though, do you even know how 555 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: to play POGs? Or was it just about collecting cool 556 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: looking pugs? Yeah? I don't even know that there was 557 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: an objective to the game. Yes there was there. You 558 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 1: could play the game. See, that's the thing. You make 559 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: this pick and you don't even know how to play 560 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: the game. It wasn't really about the game. It was 561 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: about showing off my sweet slammer to all my friends. 562 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: I actually can't argue with you because I didn't know 563 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: how to play. That's the only reason I collected them. Also, 564 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: all right, um, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna break rank 565 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: here and go a little out of order on my board. 566 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: You know this is not Ozzy news or not approve 567 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: of this style of the strategy, but I have to, Sorry, Oz, 568 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm going tomagotchi okay, because I didn't get a video 569 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: gaming system and this is the closest thing I can 570 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: get tomagotchi for those you don't know. It was like 571 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: this little like it was almost like a key chain 572 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: kind of size thing that like you like fed your 573 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: little pet and it pooped and he had to like 574 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: change his diaper. And it was like a very rudimentary 575 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: like version of Sims, almost of um, but with like 576 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: a little pet. And I do have a quick story. 577 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: I picked this even though I have a bad history 578 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: with tomagotchi, and and that is that my middle school 579 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: girlfriend she had a tomagotchi and we'd have, you know, 580 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: i'd have to call her and talk to her on 581 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: the phone, which I hated, Like who wants to call 582 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: her girlfriend every day in middle school? Is awful? And 583 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: all she wanted to talk about with this was this 584 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: stupid tomagotchi and what she was doing with this tomagotchi. 585 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: And I was like, just I have to end this 586 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: relationship right now.

You took You took the tomagotchi 588 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: as part of the healing process from that middle school relationship. 589 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: This is part of the final act. We broke up 590 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: because I refused to call her anymore to talk about 591 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: her stupid tomagotchi. And here you are. Here you are, 592 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: twenty years later, taking the tomagotchi, still not over it. 593 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm healing my my my psychiatrist, my therapist told 594 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: me to do this.

All those items 697 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fame there. I think I've 698 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: got it. The only reason that anybody would vote for 699 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: you to win this draft is because you've got the 700 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 1: gaming system, which is a far and away the number one. 701 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: But I think in terms of depth like this, I 702 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,840 Speaker 1: have a deep draft to arrive some pro bowlers in 703 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 1: the fourth, fifth round.

All right, So, the Ravens going against the 726 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: New York Giants Sunday one o'clock at M ANDT Bank Stadium. 727 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: The Giants right now, like we were talking about before, 728 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: not sure what their quarterback situations looking like, whether it's 729 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: gonna be Coote McCoy or Daniel Jones, so that mains 730 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 1: be seen. They are getting back one of the best quarterbacks, 731 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: James Bradberry. Uh, he's been one of the best corners 732 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: in the league this year. He's coming back. He just 733 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: was activated from the COVID list. So the Giants aren't 734 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: a team. I think that you can totally, you know, 735 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: just dismiss there. I think they're better than the Jacks. 736 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: Let's see that they're better than the Jackson. I think 737 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: that they're better than the Cowboys, um and the They 738 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: have a good defense, that's what they have. They don't 739 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: have a good audience. They have the thirty first ranked offense. 740 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: So I don't think that this group, whether it's way, 741 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: whether it's Daniel Jones a quarterback, if it's if its 742 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: Shoe's a quarterback, there are more dangerous offense I think. 743 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: But I either way, I just don't think that they're 744 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 1: gonna put up a ton of points on the Ravens defense. No, 745 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, but you're talking you're talking about a defense 746 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: that held the Seahawks to twelve points, right, I mean, 747 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: they beat Washington, they beat the Eagles. I mean, you 748 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: know what beating teams in the NFC East, this is 749 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: there isn't anything to rag home about. But you look 750 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,320 Speaker 1: at the Seahawks game and you say, wow, that was 751 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: the boy that was McCoy started games. So you know 752 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: they are. They've got a good defense, They've got twenty 753 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: turn takeaways this year. That's how the Ravens. If the 754 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: Ravens lose this game, we're gonna look back on it 755 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be because of they are careless for 756 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: the football and turn it over, and that's gonna be 757 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: why they lose. I just if the Ravens, if the 758 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: Rains don't have a turnover in this game, they win. 759 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: I honestly think it's as simple as that. You might 760 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: be right about that, and but if all of a 761 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: sudden they have three turnovers Giants turn one into a 762 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: pick six or something like that, then you're gonna be 763 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: in a difficult situation or you could be a a 764 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: difficult situation and that and that's how you lose a 765 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: game like this. But if the Ravens protected football, I 766 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: also think that this is a game where Lamar may 767 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: need to continue to build off what he did through 768 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: the through the air, like through three touchdowns against Jacksonville. 769 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: The Giants are a better team against the run, their 770 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: top ten against the run, so I don't think some 771 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: of those huge lanes will be there like we've seen 772 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville, like we saw against Dallas, UM. So I 773 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: think that this could be the Ravens needing to continue 774 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: to build off of some success that they've seen recently. 775 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: The passing game. Yeah, anyway, it should be a good game. 776 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: Make sure you tune in for that one.
