Speaker 1: the AFC North champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers. What a night,

5
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: What an incredible ending of that game. That was as

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: wild of a fourth quarter as you will ever see.

7
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: That that was That was entertainment, that was theater. That

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: was fun. So we'll dive into the game obviously, all

9
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: the different aspects. Tomlin Rogers lamar, the ending, the play calls,

10
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: the miss timeouts, the it was bananas, the missed defensive assignments.

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Not exactly a defensive clinic on on that fourth quarter.

12
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: But we got new you got the Falcons fire and everybody.

13

Speaker 1: yourself on that too, and dive into what we just witnessed.

32
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: Now Sunday Night Football is the number one show in America.

33
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Now it's all relative. Obviously football is really popular. Television

34
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: shows are not nearly as popular as they were. Like

35
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: when I was a kid in the nineties, when forty

36
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: fifty million people would watch main episodes all together around

37
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: the country, Cable tv wasn't as big, streaming didn't exist.

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot has changed. That being said, Sunday Night

39
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: Football still absolutely crushes. It would have been a big

40
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: deal thirty years ago with the amount of people that

41
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: watch it. So I said last week and I'll take

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: the l I have no problem. I'm wrong all the time.

43
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: Tell my wife, Honey, I was wrong. Say it to

44
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: you guys, I was wrong. I'm not afraid to admit

45
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: that I can be an idiot. I can have bad takes.

46
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: And I thought it was insane that the Pittsburgh Steelers

47
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore Ravens got Theseday night game in Seattle

48
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: and San Francisco, who were playing for the number one seed,

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: got Saturday night. But that was the right decision. And

50
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: midway through I was like, this game is badass, And

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: you guys know where I stand. Love violence, love physicality.

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: I love any sort of rivalry where there's like a

53
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: true hatred. It's why I gravitate so much to college football,

54
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: the SEC, Ohio State, Michigan. I've always loved, like Duke

55
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: North Carolina, the hatred between like Kentucky and Louisville when

56
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: coach cal and Patino were there. Like I love true

57
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: passionate hatred towards someone else. I love it when I

58
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: read stories in business about two people competing and they

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: hate each other and there's like a legit rivalry, Like

60
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't know something about it. Really does

61
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: something to me inside that it's like makes me feel something.

62
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: It creates emotion in me, which you know as you

63
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: get older it's harder to emote. And watching that game

64
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: when I first got in the league, that was that

65
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't a rivalry, that that was a you know,

66
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: it's like criminal activity on the field. It was. It

67
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: wasn't safe, you know, back in its heyday in the

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: late two thousands and early twenty tens, and that game

69
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: the night had a feel to it that you just

70
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: don't feel that often in Pittsburgh. You have this legendary

71
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: guy that you know might be going out. He's got

72
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: a broken hand against this other player that you know,

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: he's a multiple time MVP. People are talking about trading him.

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: The game's kind of weird. And the second half, just

75
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter alone. Now, if Nick Saban or Belichick

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: or some defensive guru was here, they were probably puking

77
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: in their mouth watching the blown coverages and situational football

78
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: not being executed correctly. But if you're just on your

79
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: couch and listen, I was a Steeler fan tonight midway

80
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: through the season. I put one hundred dollars bet and

81
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: I parlayed it the New England Patriots, the Denver Broncos,

82
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, and the Pittsburgh Steelers to win their divisions.

83
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: That one hundred dollars just paid me seven thousand dollars

84
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: beside a Bryson d Chambeau US Open and some like

85
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: crazy touchdown parlay. That's easily the greatest return I've ever

86
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: got in a parlay. I was on the edge of

87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: my seat. I was screaming at the TV at the

88
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: end of the first half when I felt like they

89
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: fucked it up with that stupid play that of course

90
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: they go right to Jason Garrett and he goes. I

91
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: love the play. It's like, Jason, you cannot go laterally

92
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, especially against a team Hellodi

93
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: Notod is not in there putting Hayward, putting the other Hayward.

94
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I know it had been stuffed early and just shove

95
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: it right down their throat. What did they do later

96
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: in the game They did that and it worked. Obviously,

97
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: that was a disaster. I thought it was screwed. And

98
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think tonight was a pretty awesome Aaron

99
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers performance. When you factor in the DK Metcalf, who

100
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: the hell knows he was the night watching this game.

101
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: I saw someone Matt Williamson, who I think scouted a

102
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: long time ago in the NFL, lives in Pittsburgh. I

103
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: don't know if he would consider covers the Pittsburgh Steelers,

104
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: but is just still involved in the media, is dialed

105
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: in on the Pittsburgh Steelers. And I saw something on

106
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Twitter over the last couple of days and he said, listen,

107
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf obviously isn't the best wide receiver in the league,

108
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: but you could make the argument, given the team and

109
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the way it's constructed, he's the most important wide receiver

110
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: in the league to his team because if you watch

111
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: the All twenty two and you see the way he plays,

112
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: how much you have to focus on him. Obviously they

113
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: have no body type like that, and they definitely have

114
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: no speed like that. And obviously DK, when he's playing well,

115
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: can be a big time impact player. When you remove him.

116
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: It's Adam Feelin who's like as old as me, Scotty

117
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Miller Fryarmouth who's a good player, uh mva who how

118
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: long's he even bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers, And Aaron

119
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers just found a way and listen, there was that

120
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: stretch in the second half where like, I'm doing this

121
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: right after the game, so I'm not gonna see the

122
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: press conference. I'm sure he's gonna be asked about the

123
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: timeout situation, whether the headset went out or whatever. But

124
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: there were like when you are trying to fuck with

125
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: the opponent, which in my lifetime, no one obviously is

126
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: better than Aaron Rodgers at the line of scrimmage saying

127
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: blue via blue VIDIA and then the gould jump off sides.

128
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: He messes them with the clock, he runs it down

129
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: knowing that they'll jump whatever was not working, and he

130
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: blew two timeouts. And I'm thinking to myself, if this

131
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: was any other quarterback, Hell, if this was just Lamar

132
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Jackson doing it, he would get eviscerated. Aaron's looking at

133
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: the sideline screaming at his helmets. Like Aaron, the helmet

134
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: goes dark even if it's not working at fifteen seconds,

135
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: You're screaming at them at like three seconds. This is

136
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of on you. I thought that was gonna come

137
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: back to bite him. In the ass end of the game,

138
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: they get the ball back with a couple of minutes,

139
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: they don't have any timeouts, he still drives them right

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: down the field. Now we'll get into both, you know,

141
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it was pure fireworks at the end of

142
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: the game. Right it was ten to three at a

143
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: half time, it felt like seventeen points might win the game.

144
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: Coming out half, it's like, I think seventeen points could

145
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: win this game. You know, the Steelers have always corralled

146
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Lamar pretty well in terms of scrambling around for whatever reason,

147
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: maybe it's you know, stuck. He's always thought he's a big,

148
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: raven guy that there's a comfort level they have playing

149
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: him where a lot of people. You know, his record

150
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: against the NFC is incredible because it's an uncommon opponent.

151
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: You don't see him, you're not used to his speed.

152
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: There's no one in the league like him that can

153
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: run like that, who when he's on passing the ball

154
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: is so accurate and has the touch, his feel for

155
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: the pocket. He's just I mean, he's one of the

156
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: most unique players in NFL history. But they're pretty comfortable

157
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: doing it. And you know, Aaron's scoring these touchdowns and

158
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, and he did it multiple times in

159
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the second half and then boom, Jalen Ramsey, who's one

160
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: of the great defensive players of his generation. It sure

161
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: looks at me on the second touchdown where Jay Flowers

162
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: is opened by the I don't know the size of Pennsylvania.

163
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: No one's even remotely close to him. That that was

164
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey biting on the run or biting on the playfake,

165
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: and obviously no one's behind him, and Lamar just lays

166
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: it up. But on the previous touchdown where he hit

167
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers when he's on Patrick Queen in a one

168
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: on one situation, which obviously is not conducive to good

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: defense and not advantageous to the Pittsburgh Steelers, that is

170
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: advantage Ravens. That's one of the greatest plays Lamar has

171
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: ever made. And the crazy part is is I watched

172
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: that replay so many times. Is high Smith, who is

173
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: a really good player, plays it well. You know a

174
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: lot lot of times when you have running lanes on Lamar,

175
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: guys run up right on any mobile quarterback. It's they lose,

176
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: as coaches say, gap integrity and they're just flying fucking

177
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: around and quarterbacks just have to move up. How Guys

178
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: like Sam Dartled and Brock purty take advantage of it.

179
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Let alone guys like him. He broke down, he broke

180
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: he stopped his feet, and he was gonna wrap him up.

181
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna like slam him to the ground.

182
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, Lamar emerges and it's like

183
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the irony of this game, and Tomlin's pumping his chest

184
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: and Rogers hugging everyone that is And I was a Steeler.

185
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: I was a diehard Steeler fan tonight. That's one of

186
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: the luckiest wins I've ever seen in my entire life.

187
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: Their defense blew two coverages. Obviously, the field goal kicker

188
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: missed the kick. They blew an all time easy sack

189
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: on one of the great mobile players of all time,

190
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: where they literally had him wrapped around by two guys

191
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: who were not like coming out of control. One of

192
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: them was stopped and is a high end edge rusher.

193
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: The last play that looked like ended the game on

194
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: the pass too Likely, which was a beautiful kind of

195
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: just dying by Lamar. Great play by Likely to high

196
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: point that thing. I mean, it's beautiful. That's pro football

197
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: at the highest level. Like again, Jalen Ramsey step too

198
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: slow and it felt like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were

199
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: getting this throwback performance out of Aaron Rodgers, who's just

200
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: conducting himself down the field like he's Peyton Manning or

201
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Tom fucking Brady in terms of his mental acuity. But

202
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: he still has this arm. They got a couple running backs,

203
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: they got no firepower. He's just making it happen. It's

204
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: like the Steelers defense gonna lose him the game. The

205
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: Steelers defense is going to hand the Ravens this game,

206
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: and lamar Zayflowers and likely are just gonna steal it

207
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: from because you guys who are this defensive organization, who

208
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, have been desperate for just a functional quarterback,

209
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: and you're getting this quarterback play, I get your arch rivals,

210
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: and the defense is gonna blow it for you. And

211
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: the guy missed the kick, and it's one of those

212
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: hits situations where I think we underrate and I'm sure

213
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: I do sitting on my couch. I mean, Boswell's I

214
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: think would widely be considered the best one. I mean,

215
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: there's so many good kickers. The Jags kicker is incredible,

216
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: so there are a lot of good kickers, but clearly

217
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: one of the best kickers in the league. When he

218
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: misses the extra point, clearly the wins. Pumping gets in

219
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: your head again. I think with kicking, you can use golf,

220
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: you get on a T box, there's a bunch of win.

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: It messes with you. I don't care if you're Scotti Scheffler,

222
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: if it's me or you, I think it's no different

223
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: For a kicker, you kind of overthink it. And I

224
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: don't care who you are. A rookie in that environment

225
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: with what's on the line, clearly fucking blew it. I

226
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: mean there's no way around it. He blew the game

227
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: because the Ravens took advantage of every screw up the

228
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Steelers had. Lamar Hitton's say twice, they obviously made an

229
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: incredible play when he hit likely to win the game,

230
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: and it came down to that and it didn't happen,

231
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: and the Steelers come outctorious. Now, I think if you're

232
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: a Steeler fan, you go. Rogers is really digging deep

233
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: right now, and how embarrassing the previous week was because

234
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: it was that that loss to the Browns is that

235
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: would have been remembered for a long time if they

236
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: lost tonight, because this whole situation could have been avoidable,

237
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: but winning this game makes you forget all about that.

238
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: And you know, they say the you know, the victors

239
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: usually are the people write in history, and you can

240
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: scrub that thing a little bit. It's not gonna be

241
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: a point where you talk about much. And the irony, too,

242
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: is the Steelers being this defensive franchise, kind of like

243
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: the Bears, who again are good at defense anymore either,

244
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: but that's the identity of the organization. It blew it

245
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: for him, It really did. I mean, the secondary was

246
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: just what is going on? What is up with these

247
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: defensive calls? And it didn't matter. And that's the crazy

248
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: part about sports is sometimes you can do the stupidest

249
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: shit and you could have this legendary person in Aaron

250
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers make these great plays and you can still lose,

251
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: or vice versa. You can screw up and all of

252
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: a sudden you're looking up and you get lucky. And

253
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: that's the way the cookie crumbles. Even my wife when

254
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: he missed the field goal, he's like, she looks at

255
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: me and goes the NFL scriptwriter. NFL scriptwriters did that.

256
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, listen, I push back against that conspiracy theory

257
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: that everything is pre planned. But if you wanted to

258
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: convince me that thing was like pre planned in a

259
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: writer's room sometimes last night, if that was possible, I

260
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: would believe you, because that would be something to keep

261
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: people on the edge of your seats Sunday Night football.

262
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Those two brands one of the greatest players of all

263
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: time in Aaron Rodgers, this multiple time MVP that's still

264
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: in his twenties. That was awesome, and I do think

265
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers they validated a little bit, not that it

266
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: was the wrong move. They didn't have any other options,

267
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: but like, let's face it, signing him getting to the playoffs,

268
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: winning that game with him? What was he night thirty

269
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: one to forty seven. Obviously had the game winning touchdown

270
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: pass which the dude slipped on, but he had so

271
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: many big passes, passes to Friarmuth, passed the MBS behind him,

272
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: just some clearly great conducting at the line of scrimmage,

273
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: changing plays. I thought Jalen Warren the night was his

274
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: stat line does not reflected fourteen carries for sixty six yards.

275
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: That guy was running his ass off. He also he

276
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: also had five catches for thirty three yards, so he

277
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: basically had twenty touches, Gainwell, made some plays, Calvin Austen, Friarmuth.

278
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: It just it was kind of the ultimate team effort

279
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: with the guy conducting it and I listen, I had Steelers.

280
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Houston Texans in that game. But

281
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: that was a really cool moment, really cool quarter, just

282
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: just thrilling and obviously Aaron Rodgers, which I would guess

283
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: next week, you know, if they lose, will be the

284
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: last game of his career. I know there have been

285
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: some reports about him coming back. Hard time seeing that,

286
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: but you know who knows the Steelers love doing kind

287
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: of the same thing over and over. You know, it

288
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: felt like when he was lining up to kick the

289
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: field goal, is that gonna be it for Mike? Like?

290
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Is that it for Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh losing that

291
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: game the way they would have lost it on defense

292
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: when you know, at the end of the day, he's

293
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. Hell he goes back, he's a secondary coach,

294
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: and it just felt like, you know, Florio reported before

295
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: the game that TV could be in his future. I

296
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing that. I think teams you're

297
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna go work like a studio show, go call a

298
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: game for Amazon. The New York Times paid fifteen million

299
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: dollars a year, Tennessee Tidans paid fifteen million dollars a year.

300
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: There would be teams lined up to hire Mike Tomlin.

301
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: So I have a hard time seeing him take a

302
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: TV gig. Maybe maybe that would have happened, but it

303
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: just felt like, this is how he's gonna go out

304
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: against this team. And now it kind of flips around,

305
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think you started asking the questions like,

306
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: is there a chance in the next couple of days

307
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: we read a story that you know, John Harbaugh and

308
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna have a long closed door meeting.

309
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: Because I know one thing this story that has just

310
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: not gone away about this Lamar Jackson. They even kind

311
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: of alluded to it on the broadcast some fraction. Something's

312
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: a little off. I listen. I have no inside information,

313
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: but clearly something's a little off. I know this. I've

314
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: been a sports fan well before I ever worked in

315
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: pro sports or college sports, well before I ever got

316
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: paid to talk about them. You do not get a

317
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: rid of Lamar Jackson before you get rid of a

318
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: lot of other people. And you would have to be

319
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: high on drugs to get rid of Lamar Jackson before

320
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: you got rid of the coaching staff. That's not the

321
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: way sports work. And you saw to night glimpse of

322
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson when he made that play and broke out

323
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: of those two guys that were gonna sack him for

324
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: a big loss. What a flip momentum. And honestly, it

325
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: would have been the Ravens would have been in shambles

326
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: if that sack would have that place would have been

327
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: gone nuts. And when he scrambled around and throws a

328
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: fucking dime and Zay walks in the end zone, I went,

329
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: we've honestly had discussions that this guy would be on

330
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: the trade block. Are what are we talking about? That

331
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: conversation is done if you're Steve Bushatti, if you're part

332
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: of the ownership group. Other people go cut other players,

333
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: get rid of coaches. But I'm sorry, at least for

334
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: the time being, Lamar Jackson would be a pret sacred

335
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: cow in the organization because those guys with his ability,

336
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: like sometimes with runners, you see guys that just lack

337
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: other qualities, whether they're not accurate, they don't have any touch.

338
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: You know, some of these fastball throwers they can't throw

339
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: a change up. I think the thing that makes Lamar

340
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: pretty special now he does some plays that the play

341
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: to Hopkins when he was scrambling, I don't know if

342
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: he thought Hopkins was gonna keep running. I don't know

343
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: if he just brain farted that. That was a bizarre play.

344
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: But he has stuff in the bag that I've been

345
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: watching football forty years old for you know, well over

346
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: thirty years, but thirty years that I can remember, I

347
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: don't ever remember what he has in the bag, seeing

348
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: very often, if ever at all. And the ability to

349
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with the best teams in the

350
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: league and the biggest spots on the road. Again, you

351
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: fire coaches before you trade star players. That's the way

352
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: it goes. So the conversation to me, if I'm operating

353
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: around the Ravens, starts with Harbaugh before it starts with

354
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. If there's a I'm not comparing Lamar Jackson

355
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: to John Elway, right, John Elway had been to multiple

356
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowls early on in his career. But I will

357
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: say this the best move Pat Bowlan ever made. There

358
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: was a fraction, and I'm not saying that John Harbaugh

359
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson are at odds where they literally hate

360
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: each other. If you've watched the John Elway documentary, Dan

361
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Reeves and John Elway had a closed door meeting because

362
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: Mike Shanahan, who was the offensive coordinator, told both we

363
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: need to have a talk and you guys should tell

364
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: each other how you feel. And they both told each

365
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: other again, this is the head coach and John Elway,

366
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: the star quarterback. I hate you. And it never recovered.

367
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: And then Pat Bowlan realized, I mean Dan Reeves gonna

368
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: trade John Elway, and Pat Bowlan fired Dan Reeves, who,

369
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, pretty good coach, I mean, took teams of

370
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, took the Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl like this

371
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: wasn't We're not talking about Brandon Staley here. We're talking

372
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: about a very very accomplished coach, hard headed, stubborn. Kind

373
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: of reminds me of a hardball and you know, you

374
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: watch Harborden and listen, I would throw Tomlin in this too.

375
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: They're not perfect, they got some flaws. You know, they're

376
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: pretty dependent on their coordinators. Both these teams, you know,

377
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: are not nearly as talented as they used to be.

378
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens once Kyle Hamilton goes out. Who knows,

379
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, do the Steelers win this game? Kyle Hamilton

380
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt again as tonight. A Pittsburgh Steeler fan,

381
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: I would have to admit probably not. But he goes out.

382
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Never root for injuries. But wasn't mad because that was

383
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: their only shot. But he's also by four. It felt

384
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: like their most impactful defensive player. You know, Roke one

385
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Smith's good, got good player, Wiggins Starks, the young DB's

386
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: good players. But they used to have these defensive lines.

387
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: Now I get and Bouquet's been, you know, on injury

388
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: reserve all season long. They used to have Hellodi Noda,

389
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs, they used to have so many elite gys

390
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: up front. That's just not the case. I mean, you

391
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: got Jalen Warren breaking tackles like they're the Arizona Cardinals,

392
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: not not the Baltimore Ravens. So that that was as

393
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: great and a thrilling and a lucky when that was

394
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers, you could argue it's one of

395
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: the all time kicking the dick losses you'll ever see

396
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: when you factor it's on the road against a rival

397
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs and you have, I don't

398
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: want to call it quite a chip shot, but a

399
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: extremely easy field goal to make. A field goal so

400
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: easy to make you had no problem just taking a

401
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: knee with like fifteen seconds left, and you weren't trying

402
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: to get any closer because we all realized you were

403
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: close enough. Guy was gonna make it until he didn't.

404
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: And the other crazy part is, you know, the Ravens

405
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: a huge part of the Lamar Jackson era and definitely

406
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: a huge part of the John Harbaugh era is they

407
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: were defined by one of the greatest kickers we've ever seen,

408
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, in his heyday. If Justin Tucker came out there,

409
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: there wouldn't have been one soul in that building. They

410
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't have started packing their shit to leave heading to

411
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: their car because the game would have been a rap.

412
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: And I still thought it was a rap, but it's

413
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: a working kicker. Miss honestly wasn't even that close. So

414
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: what a game, What a night that was. That was

415
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: a muscle flex night for the NFL. Today's show is

445
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't watch that much NBA anymore, if at all,

446
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: to be honestly, I just don't really have time. And

447
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: I do listen to a decent amount of like NBA content,

448
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: just I like the drama of the league. Clearly, one

449
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: issue they've had for a long time is tanking. And

450
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: you have so many games the season so long, baseball

451
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: has this two where none of the games matter and

452
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: you just have teams that don't try. One thing that

453
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: really resonated with me today. The NFL is extremely lucky

454
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: that just the nature of the sport that you know players,

455
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: I mean Max Crosby was on record a couple weeks ago, like,

456
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: no one cares about draft picks. That not that NBA

457
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: players do either, but you can really manipulate it a

458
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: lot easier that Today felt like an NBA slate in

459
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: the middle of March, when twelve teams aren't trying and

460
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: they're all playing each other, and it's just an unwatchable product.

461
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: Because that's what the NFL was today, an unwatchable product.

462
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: And this is someone who loves football, who's dedicated my

463
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: life to either working in it or talking about it,

464
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: who loves watching it. This morning was embarrassing. And I

465
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: had a buddy who covers the league pretty closely for

466
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: a team, and he said, you know what's crazy. The

467
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: morning slate as the season goes can be really, really bad.

468
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: It sometimes gets, i would say, overshadowed by some cool

469
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: late moments in the Witching Hour with Scott Hansen. But

470
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bad football being played because they've

471
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: emphasized these primetime games so much rightfully, SOBS and Fox

472
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: put so much into the matchups in the afternoon that

473
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: look this season, how many bad teams there have been.

474
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean the amount of teams that won three, four,

475
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: five games, it's pretty crazy. There was a lot of

476
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: slop in the league, and today a lot of these

477
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: teams just went full NBA. They just tanked, which I

478
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: don't blame them for doing, like I would have done

479
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: the same thing if I was in their shoes. No different,

480
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: if I was on a bad NBA team, I would

481
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: tank too to try to get Cooper Flack. I don't

482
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: blame anyone for doing it, but I'm not in their shoes.

483
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm in the consumer shoes. I just like sitting on

484
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: my couch and watching football like millions of people. And

485
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: I tried this morning and I was like falling asleep.

486
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is thank god this is just once

487
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: a year, because I'd argue if that was a couple

488
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: times a year, we'd have a serious problem on our hands.

489
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: And that's where I think tonight was so big. It

490
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: kind of wiped that stink away, because that stink was bad.

491
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: That that was something that I just I would not

492
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: have been able to forget for a while if it

493
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: wasn't for Rogers, Lamar, the Steelers, the Ravens, the drama

494
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: of that game. It's where if you were a conspiracy theorist,

495
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: you could be like, someone's controlling something. I don't think

496
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: it's happening, but I you know, I dabble enough, a

497
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: little tinfoil in my head, I could be convinced. You know,

498
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I would never discount anything. I listen, you guys want

499
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: to have a meeting, shoot me a zoom link. But

500
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Man Steelers are in the playoffs, Tomlin survives, Aaron Rodgers

501
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: gets another sixty minutes of football. I don't know if

502
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: we're on John Harball Watch, but it's definitely it's typically

503
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on his you know, rap

504
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: sheet and Adam Schefter's Twitter machines see if you know

505
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: there's something going on, because I think it's about to

506
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: get weird. Because once Lamar made that play, I don't

507
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: know how the owner could even entertain any ideas if

508
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: like Lamar or excuse me, Eric Tacosta and John Harball

509
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: like knocked on his door and say, hey, we got

510
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: an idea. You know all the Raiders, you know, number

511
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: one overall, pick Max Crosby in like two two's he'd

512
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm just gonna keep Lamar Jackson. That's

513
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do here, so you guys can go

514
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: find another team that might be entertained do dumb ideas,

515
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna do that here. And I'm not

516
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: even saying they want to do that, but there's just

517
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: been enough. This isn't just like from one Reddit stream.

518
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: It just got weird and I thought Lamar answered the

519
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: bell down the stretch obviously big time. So does A Flowers,

520
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: so did likely those plays were I mean, you're like

521
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: fell off your couch, like is this really happening unless

522
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: you're rooting for the Steelers and you just want to go, like,

523
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: where is the defender? What are we doing? Let's bang

524
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: out some other topics before we get out of here.

525
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Big news today, at least the first of the uh

526
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: the gate opening on what is considered Black Monday tomorrow,

527
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: though sometimes it kind of materializes over the course of

528
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: the week. Arthur Blank, who's oldest shit, put himself in

529
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: his own Hall of Fame last year, which is an

530
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: all time move. I actually read an Instagram thread on

531
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: him and how him and his partner started at home

532
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: Depot pretty incredible, Like he's I don't think we talk

533
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: enough about his business story, you know, how he started

534
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: from scratch and what he created after being fired from

535
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: another company with a buddy. It's it's a pretty awesome story,

536
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: but as an owner, it does feel like they're pretty

537
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: lost and over the last five years with Arthur Smith

538
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: and Raheem Morris, it doesn't feel like any team is

539
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: underachieved more and this team like the reason Raheem Morris

540
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: got fired and I saw listen. I've known Mike Silver,

541
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: who wrote for SI and now writes for Athletic for

542
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: a long time covering the NFL forever. He loves Rahee

543
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: Moors just like everyone loves Roheel Moors. And he was

544
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: on the X channels, as my mom calls it, defending

545
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: saying this is crazy. He only got two years. He

546
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: won last four games when Raheem Morris and Terry faunt

547
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: Now made the decision in a month span to give

548
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins four years, one hundred and eighty million dollars

549
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: and one hundred million dollars guaranteed of Arthur Blank's money,

550
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: and then a month later draft to quarterback number eight overall,

551
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: which I'm not acting like I didn't like him. I did,

552
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: but the NFL did not. He was off a ton

553
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: of draft boards. He had major injury concerns, and a

554
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of people just questioned his overall talent. Like most

555
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: people I knew if they did have him on the

556
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: draft board, did not have him in the first round.

557
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: They took him eight overall. That move or those two

558
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: moves didn't blow up in their face. It was like

559
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: a nuclear bomb in the organization and it has been

560
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: a disaster. Michael Pennix, now two years later, is has

561
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: a torn acl that's the third time he's torn it.

562
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who by far, once he started playing, was

563
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: better than he was last year and was better than Pennix.

564
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna bring Cousins back because he makes

565
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: like forty plus million dollars a year. So they're kind

566
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: of in quarterback no man's land, and it's like, okay, yeah,

567
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: they tied for first in the division. The division was

568
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: eight and fucking nine. That is an embarrassment. In most divisions,

569
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: you would have been four or five six games behind

570
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the number one team in your division. You wouldn't have

571
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: sniffed second. So going eight to nine is not an accomplishment. Actually,

572
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: when you watch them against the Rams, when you watch

573
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: them against the Bills. It's kind of an embarrassment. So

574
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: I have no qualms or issues with those two guys

575
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: getting fired, because any any human in life, when you

576
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: are in a situation, especially a pressure pack situation, and

577
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: you make a massive decision. We all make a lot

578
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: of decisions in life. Some of them be you know,

579
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: the results of those decisions have little to no impact

580
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: on our professional situation, and some of them will make

581
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: or break us. And their quarterback decisions two years ago

582
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: broke them. That's the way it works. Just like I

583
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: saw with the forty niners. If Brock Purdy would not

584
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 1: have been drafted in the seventh round, the forty nine

585
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: ers would have been screwed. They would have had a major,

586
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: major problem. But the football gods threw them a bone.

587
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: The football gods did not throw these guys a bone.

588
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: Right when Michael Pennix got thrust in there, he just

589
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: couldn't really play, and when Cousins you know, had to play.

590
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: Last year wasn't any good. And then this year they

591
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: just started losing too bad teams. They had one of

592
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: the worst special teams we've ever seen. And yeah, they

593
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: started playing better at the end of the season. Too little,

594
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: too late. You ever get into a fight, a really

595
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: bad fight, and then try to apologize and she won't

596
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: listen to you. Yeah, you can try to apologize after

597
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: the fact. It's not good enough. So I understand them

598
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: firing them. I would fully expect Matt Ryan to be

599
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: some sort of made up role where he is between

600
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: the GM, between the coach and Arthur Blank. That would

601
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: be the expectation moving forward. I saw a report from

602
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: rap Sheet today that Philip Rivers will essentially garner interest

603
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: to be a head coach in the NFL. Let me

604
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: say this, I do think Philip Rivers could immediately start

605
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow and be a good head coach in the NFL.

606
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: He understands players. He understands personnel just from evaluating them

607
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: on a game plan for twenty plus years. He's now

608
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: been a coach. I get at a high school level,

609
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: but he understands just like the feeling of standing on

610
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: the sideline with a headset I would have. I would

611
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: bet on Philip Rivers working. But if I was Philip Rivers,

612
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: because calling the plays on game day, I'm sure he'd

613
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: be good at it. I'm sure working with the quarterback

614
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: and the offensive skill guys would be come very naturally

615
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: to him. But you know what being a head coach is.

616
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: On Monday afternoon, you get a call you're starting defensive tackle.

617
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: Just had a family member claim that he he blasted

618
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: her in the face with his fist because she turned

619
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: down the air conditioning from seventy to sixty eight degrees.

620
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: A wide receiver just had a chef sue him for

621
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: sexually assaulting him. You're starting safety just wrapped his car

622
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: around a telephone pole and got a dui. Your offensive

623
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: line coach, his wife just left him and mentally he's

624
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: in shambles. Your GM is just in an awful mood

625
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: and you gotta deal with them like that is big

626
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: a head coach. Oh and you have a billionaire family

627
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: who again, a billionaire family who literally everything they do

628
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: in life is free. I remember one time heard someone describe

629
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a billionaire and they're like,

630
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: imagine everything in life is free. Like that's a great

631
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: way to sum it up, and what a way to live.

632
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: You know, you just no matter what room you go into,

633
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: if you want to buy that, I can't afford that.

634
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: That's who you work for a family where literally everything

635
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: in the world to them is free, and most of them,

636
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: even if they are nice people, whatever, he lose a

637
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: little touch of reality and it is not easy. In

638
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: what world would Philip Rivers want to deal with that?

639
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: He's made hundreds of millions of dollars, he has ten

640
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: freaking kids. He has a son who's going to be

641
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: a senior, who by all accounts, is going to be

642
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: a high end recruit. He's got another son who's a

643
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: ninth grader who I would bet on probably eventually becoming

644
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: a high end recruit. Why does he need that stress?

645
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: You know why? Mike Tomlin or John Harbar or a

646
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: lot of those guys do it. That's how they've made

647
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: their money. That's where they make their millions of dollars.

648
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: Phillip's already made the millions. Now if he did want

649
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: that headache, because it's unavoidable, I would respect the shit

650
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: out of him. Tom Brady, you know, bought into it

651
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be really hands on. Hands on dude's

652
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: like playing golf in Florida. Again, I don't blame him

653
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: at all. I'd be doing exactly what Tom is doing.

654
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: I'd be playing golf, I'd be hanging out with Alex Earl.

655
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: I'd be living life as well. But Tom Brady doesn't

656
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: want to act like John Elway did ten years ago.

657
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: Every day in the office, every day, dealing with all

658
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: the shit. Deal with your scouts, deal with your GM,

659
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: deal with your coaches, dealing with the college draft, deal

660
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: with free agency, deal with your own team, dealing with

661
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: the agents, dealing with the owners. It's a pain in

662
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: the fucking ass. Pays well. You get a lot of

663
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: praise when things go well, but most of the days

664
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: are not just game day after winning the locker room

665
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: high five and everybody. Most of the days are long,

666
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: no one's paying attention, and shit is hitting the fan

667
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 1: left and right. So this is one of those things.

668
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: Awesome headline kind of interesting because I think we both

669
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: all agree Philip Rivers could be a head coach in

670
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: the NFL if he wanted to do it. There is

671
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: no doubt in anyone's mind. And if there is a

672
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: doubt in your mind, then you probably don't know what

673
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about. No offense, I mean, might be a

674
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: good human, but you just don't understand football. But I

675
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: just don't see at this point in time why he'd

676
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: want that on his plate. Speaking of rivers, the Colts

677
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: announced about a couple of nights ago, I couldn't sleep

678
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: and I got up. It was like three in the morning,

679
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: and I just started scrolling the Athletic and there was

680
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: this long article about Ersa's daughter, Carly, who owns runs

681
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: the team now, and there were a lot of quotes

682
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: in there from Shane Syke and Chris Ballard, and it

683
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: was clear that they all like each other a lot.

684
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: So when I saw the news today that they're coming back,

685
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: Chris Balard's never won the division in nine years. Obviously,

686
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: Shane Siken hasn't made the playoffs this year. They started

687
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: eating two. They don't have first round picks. I don't

688
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: even think they've won a game after that. Pretty sure

689
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: they yeah today, so they won eight nine disastrous season again.

690
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: The Jets have their first round pick. I don't know

691
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: if you saw the stat at halftime on Sunday Night

692
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: Football of quarterbacks against the Jets, thirty six touchdowns, no interceptions,

693
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: fourteen and three like seventy percent completion percentage. That's that's

694
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: really bad. I mean, that's I got nothing like I'm

695
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: not anti Aaron Glenn. I was rooting for him. Always

696
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: really liked him on the lines. I thought he did

697
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: a great job. I think it's hard to argue that's

698
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of

699
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: the league. No interceptions. You inherited a team with Sauce Gardner,

700
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: with pass rushers, no interceptions. That is a record, you know,

701
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: like a record that will stand forever, Like Joe DiMaggio's

702
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,720
Speaker 1: fifty six game hitting streak, Cal Ripkins, you know whatever,

703
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand straight games or whatever it was, Wilt Chamberlain's

704
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: one hundred points, and we go on on like some

705
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: of these probably gonna stand forever. I saw some of

706
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice's records. Nobody, and I promise you nobody is

707
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: ever ever breaking the Jets record. No one will ever

708
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: match that. You couldn't break it, but you could match it.

709
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: It will never be matched. I promise you that. What

710
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: was I guess didn't have to be matched is the

711
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: Vegas Las Vegas Raiders. We knew going into the game

712
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys today who Yank Dak went full tank again.

713
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: I don't even blame them for doing it. I would

714
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: have done it too. Once the Giants win that game,

715
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: who also, I think went from two to five or six.

716
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: I forget exactly where they're drafting, but obviously, you know,

717
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: not ideal now Jackson dark, Brian Burns, some of those

718
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: guys care about a draft pick. The Raiders have the

719
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. We're gonna watch, you know, Pete Carroll.

720
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: Most people assume that within the next twenty four to

721
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: forty eight hours, Pete Carroll will either be forced into

722
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: retirement or be fired, and Fernando Mendoza will be there

723
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: be their quarterback. Because it was announced tonight that Kurt

724
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: Signetti and Indiana had signed. I think TCU whose quarterback Hoover,

725
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: and he will replace Fernando Mendoza, who's going to the draft,

726
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: who will be the number one overall pick and will

727
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback for the Vegas Raiders in twenty

728
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty six. The only question is who's going to be

729
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: their coach. Some rumors about Brian Flores and day Ball.

730
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: I think they will want an offensive head coach. If

731
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: Stefanski got fired, would they be interested. We'll have to

732
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. And the Chiefs, who went

733
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: to five Super Bowls in six years, had one of

734
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: the worst seasons of all time for them. But they

735
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: have the ninth pick in the draft, and I think

736
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: what's scary about that is this is going to be

737
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: a chance for them to a catalyst for them to

738
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: continue the dynasty. If you tell me that the Chiefs

739
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: are going to continue to be really, really good in

740
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: a high end team, this draft will change the franchise.

741
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: And I think they can do this two ways. You

742
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: can go from nine to like four pretty easily. If

743
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: you're them, you could just hey, we'll give you next

744
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: year's first round pick, and just a team that, you know,

745
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: like the Giants, that needs to accumulate assets come back,

746
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, if a couple quarterbacks go high,

747
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: we end up with potentially the best pass rusher, best

748
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: offensive lineman in the draft, a guy that we couldn't

749
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: have dreamed of acquiring. For the last fifteen years, we've

750
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: never ever the best player in the you know, arguably

751
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 1: in the league. In one of the great draft picks

752
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: in franchise history, we drafted Patrick Mahomes ten and we

753
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: had to come up from the twenties. Now we're at nine.

754
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: We can go up, we can get in, we can

755
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: get an all timer. Or can we go from like

756
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: nine to fourteen, still draft way higher than we ever envisioned.

757
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: We'd be drafting, accumulate another second round pick, and start

758
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: nailing some high end guys that are cheap. So now

759
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: we got a first round er, we got a couple

760
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: second rounders, and we can maneuver. But I think the

761
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a lot of the usual suspects high a

762
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: lot of crappy franchises. But the Chiefs to me, are

763
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: by far the most fascinating team drafting in the top ten.

764
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: And you know, whenever I text my buddies on their staff,

765
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, we just bs about players. They're always just

766
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: talking about it, you know, hypothetically, like, yeah, we really

767
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: like that guy, but obviously we were never gonna draft him.

768
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: Now beside three or four players, they have to really

769
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: evaluate all you know, Caleb Downs, Baine, I mean all

770
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: the guys that yeah they ride up and they put

771
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: on the board. They're never drafting those players. Now. It's

772
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: like they're a real conversation, which to me adds an intrigue, Like,

773
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: of course the Titans are drafting high. They suck, you know,

774
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: they always suck. And I think that job, I think

775
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: that franchise. You know, a lot of franchises get picked on,

776
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Raiders. I don't think we pick on

777
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: the Titans enough. They are just an abomination of an operation.

778
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a lot of pressure on Borganzi.

779
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: That clearly got a bunch more juice over the weekend

780
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: in some power struggle with the Chad Brinker guy. And

781
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: now he answers the owner. He doesn't answer that who

782
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 1: claimed they were friends. But anytime this happens, it always

783
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: gets weird when you lose whoever their next head coach is.

784
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: Cam Ward got hurt today. Just weird situation and I

785
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: guess we will end on this. There was no bigger lock,

786
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: and I stand by what I said. If you go

787
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: under five hundred and win a division, you should not

788
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: host a playoff game. It's very simple. I had people

789
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: tweeting at me, like, you're just jealous the forty nine

790
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: ers have to This has nothing to do about anyone.

791
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: I don't care who has to go on the road

792
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: or plays a home game. You should not be able

793
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: to host a playoff game if you go under five hundred.

794
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: That reflects your division, because winning the division is a

795
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: big deal. It's hard to win the division. Why because

796
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 1: usually there are multiple double digit win teams in the division.

797
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: Seattle won a division with the fifth and the sixth seed.

798
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: Right last year, the Philadelphia Eagles won a division against

799
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: with another team that ends up they played in the

800
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. The Denver Broncos won the division. Like

801
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers were nipping up heels all season long. And

802
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: I just think when you have another division where all

803
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: the other teams are under five hundred as well, like

804
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 1: that's a joke division. It just is now. I don't

805
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: think this is gonna change anytime soon, but I did.

806
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't an idiot that once the Panthers made it

807
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Today they were playing that first game in the afternoon

808
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which is historically the worst game on paper

809
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: of the weekend, and there's already I think, like a

810
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: ten plus point spread for the Rams. That was a

811
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: no brainer. I did think the Bears Packers and the

812
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: Niners Eagles would be Fox and Sunday Night, but clearly Amazon.

813
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a decent chance either Fox or Amazon

814
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: had the number one overall pick and they picked Bears

815
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: Packers at night because that is just that environment in

816
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Chicago at night, freezing cold, the pressure on the floor

817
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: trying to get a contract extension. He wins this game,

818
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: it would shut a lot of people up. The Bear

819
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: I listen, anytime you get a home game, you want

820
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: to win. They've already had a pretty incredible season. Obviously,

821
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: to beat the Packers would be the icing on the cake.

822
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: You win this game, it would just be I mean,

823
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: an all time first year for Ben Johnson. You beat

824
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: the Packers twice once in the playoffs at a home game,

825
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: it'd be pretty cool. I do think the Eagles I

826
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: saw Sirianni was asked about it. It's hard because they're

827
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: benching a bunch of guys. They're playing a bunch of backups.

828
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: He had to look up there and see the Bears

829
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: are down sixty to nothing in going there is a

830
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: big difference between the two and the three seed having

831
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: two home games or only having one. To me, that's

832
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: a game changer. Now. You could argue, well, the Bears

833
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: could lose what they could or they could just win

834
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: and then you win, and then you've got to go there.

835
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: So I I was honestly stunned, and I get it.

836
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: You're playing a backup quarterback who I thought Tanner McKee

837
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: was a little better. He didn't play that well today.

838
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: Whenever I would kind of peak at the game, I

839
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: just assume they would win, even with their backups. And

840
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like twenty four to seventeen.

841
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is going on? But obviously the you know,

842
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles play the forty nine Ers in the in

843
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: the day game on Sunday. I think it's is it?

844
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: I have to look now, I'm confused. I'm like thinking

845
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: out loud, what's the NFL schedule? And a lot on

846
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: my mind right now. It's like Blincoln, So we got

847
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo Jacksonville. I thought they would give Josh Allen a

848
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Little surprised, I get Jacksonville is not

849
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: the sexiest quote unquote you know name market. I think

850
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is a fun team to watch. They have been

851
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: kicking ass and taking names. I was if you would

852
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: have told me these three games would have been on Sunday,

853
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Jacksonville, Niners, Philly, Los Angeles, New England, I think

854
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: I would have guessed the Chargers in New England would

855
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: have been the morning game, and they would have put

856
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at night and I would have guessed that

857
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: Fox and Tom Brady just would have taken Philly and

858
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: the Niners in the afternoon game. So I am a

859
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: little surprised. And I get it's, you know, Drake May,

860
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel, Jim Harbaugh not saying that there's not star

861
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: power in the LA New England game. But I thought

862
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen's almost like, I don't know, like Lebron,

863
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you know, Showhay, just like a transcendent name

864
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: in this sport that is just such a TV rating

865
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: magnet that he would have trumped those two guys, but

866
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: clearly he didn't. And then obviously the Monday night game

867
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Houston. My initial thought is just I like

868
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: Houston a lot. In this game, I think that I

869
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: think Houston's a very live dog to be a major,

870
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: major problem in the AFC. I haven't thought that much

871
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: about all these matchups. I do think the Niners it's

872
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: gonna be really, really difficult. I think Jacksonville is just

873
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: having an incredible that they are so good, but to

874
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: get Josh Allen and I get it, the Bills have

875
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: looked weird. I'm not even out in today, but just

876
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 1: it is. It's been a weird season. The Keon Coleman situation.

877
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: You know, you draft this guy high, he gets it.

878
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: He's in active all the time. Their defense just looks

879
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: shitty so often. Their weapons aren't great beside Cook, but

880
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: I just have a hard time betting against an all

881
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: time great quarterback, especially who's gonna be well rested. JAG's

882
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: defense is good. I think that game that's that's an

883
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: excellent morning game. That that really is. And I think

884
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay Chicago is just great theater. I would say

885
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: the Steeler. If I had to rank some of the

886
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: great games of the year regular season, just off the

887
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: top of my head, I would say that Bears Packers

888
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: game where they came back at the end was just

889
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: I was on the edge of my seat and it

890
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: wasn't even the greatest game, but it was just the atmosphere.

891
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: It was just so cool. Saturday Night, Niners Bears Pittsburgh st. Ravens.

892
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had the Seattle Ram game. We've had

893
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: some great primetime games, And to me, what makes a

894
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: primetime game is like the venue really comes into play.

895
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: It's a huge point of difference for college football. Right

896
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: when you get some of these primetime night games like

897
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: LSU at LSU right at you know, at some of

898
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: these venues that are just really really cool. It's kind

899
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: of where the SEC thrives because their home games are

900
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: just so badass when the lights are on. And I

901
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: think we got you know, the New England. That's a

902
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: place that they've hosted a lot of night playoff games.

903
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, your Chicago has not, but that's just an

904
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: incredible venue. And obviously Pittsburgh will be rocking. So we'll

905
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: talk a lot about these games as the week goes on. Obviously,

906
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: as people get you know, fired, and rumors fly, we

907
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: will have you covered and I will formulate opinions and

908
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: thoughts on anything that comes across the NFL wire. So

909
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: have a great night. Hopefully everyone had a enjoyable twenty

910
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: twenty five regular season. Probably not if you're like a

911
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: Titan Cardinal Giant fan, Jets fan, definitely not Rader fan,

912
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: and no chance Chiefs fan. Probably not really either. But

913
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you're like a Patriot fan, it was

914
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: pretty cool. You know, if you're a Bears fan, it

915
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,520
